Ailurocracy Thread I: Shall some national leaders be feline?

[Nekostan-e Gharbi]

My hands are more interesting to her than the picture of Mayor Max II.

She is not happy that there are other animals in charge of places on earth ?

Also:

The Mayor’s duties include visiting with locals and out-of-town visitors, attending business grand openings and other town functions, being in the town’s two annual parades, and promoting Idyllwild.

This is evidence that an animal can indeed be perfectly suited to hold office. He is e.g. performing better than Ted Cruz.

She doesn’t even care for she already rules.

The latter is of course true. Compared to corrupt and brutal human rulers we should indeed give animals a chance.

[A-Series-Of-Tubes]

The latter is of course true. Compared to corrupt and brutal human rulers we should indeed give animals a chance.

This is the basis of your whole proposal. Some rulers do worse than nothing, so we should give a chance to an animal, on the expectation that they will do exactly nothing.

Now I would consider that stupid, and bad math, except that you've let the thread go 15 pages. Despite repeated corrections and rejections.

What the animal fuck is wrong with you Neko? Do you expect anyone to take your opinions about culture or China or really anything but your pet cat, seriously? The damage this thread has done to your reputation is catastrophic. Your reputation is catatonic!

Nono - that they will perform admirably when welcoming visitors, that they create news that put the location on the map, that they will provide aid and comfort to the elderly etc. etc.

Not nothing.

It would of only gone on for 14 pages if some poor fools didn't go to the trouble of digging up this abomination of a thread.

Queen of what? Queen of where?

Nekostan of course.

That nation doesn't exist in the real world. Congratulations :'(

Meh, the basic idea is quite decent. "Are humans really the best to rule other humans" ?
Scifi has postulated we should let robots do it for decades. Maybe it is true.

AI isn't a bad idea.
Just make sure the programming isn't faulty.

HOWEVER that might backfire and the A.I and the robots might murder us all/use us as power sources/torture us for fun.

Humans are literally smarter than cats. Why would we put them on the world stage? I think they would just cause the downfall of countries,

"Man has always assumed that he is more intelligent than dolphins because he has achieved so much--the wheel, New York, wars and so on -- while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But, conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man -- for precisely the same reasons."
--- Douglas Adams, So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish.

But seriously, humans do a damn good job of fucking up. Would it really make a difference if we do whatever the "clever and thoughtful" mister Trumps says or follow the random actions of a cat,dog or punxsutawney phil ?

Because random cat actions don't translate to political ideas. Trump's ideas are stupid but at least he had ideas.

I like how there's a "I" in the title implying an anticipated 500+ pages of discussion about this needing a second thread.

There could be a thread II... should there be?

As I pointed out above, we already have a town which is run by a dog mayor - who performs the duty perfectly, since those are defined as greeting strangers, playing with kids and lonely elders, being present at store openings and creating media attention for the town.

Please no. I only revived the thread as a joke, not so that it could have over 10000 replies eventually.

Well now you know what happens.
Now let's hope everyone is wise enough to let this thread die off.

Since no one takes this seriously anymore, I placed my cat on a political compass.

Hence the ailurocracy.

What a silly idea.

In other news, water is wet.

You need to refute it if you think so.
