Honestly it helps me understand what kind of peace you are talking about. Property is a very personal thing for people because of the lack of peace. But consider me awake and listening. Any book or media recommendations?

You talk of peace but leave out justice because violence is how laws are enforced. Wake me up when you start preaching that private property is violence because until then this is just hypocrisy.

You make it sound like democracy is a linear phenomena. There are likely tradeoffs

Liberals: I can fix that voter, I just need to find the right logic combo in my persuasion.

Also Liberals: if voters were rational they would vote for the lesser evil.

Keep lecturing people, I am sure it will work this time around.

Or it could be that the Democrats are so unpopular that a billion dollars can't win them an election. No, you're right, it's because of Russia the Democrats failed to communicate their platform effectively.

Say the same to yourself bud. How many more people need to die before you realize the system is the problem, not the people voting. Because it seems y'all only care when it's Americans that die.

Clinton was notorious for polling people and changing positions, but that was not by referendum. Sometimes our pundits play loose with words and pretend polling is a referendum because we don't actually have referendums. See also "democratizing" when it just means "commodotizing"

Indeed. Democracy does not exclude anarchy and in the case of the UN it's a voluntary union, each member is free to not participate and ignore the decisions made by rest of the union. People often criticize the UN as having little authority - that's because it's anarchistic in nature.

If there is a point to my example it is that society is a patchwork of ideologies, there is no "pure capitalist" society just as there is no "pure anarchistic" society. So to say one ideology does not work as totalitarian society is different then saying it does not work at all.

I mean we have the UN which doesn't have any one nation in charge. Geopolitics tends to be anarchistic.

Because we need even more parallels with Vietnam? I mean I kinda agree but for opposite reasons. The draft is how we got people breaking into the FBI offices and revealing cointelpro. Maybe a draft will motivate enough of us to liberated the rest of the Epstein files.

Person unaffected by past bad decisions doesn't see how that's a problem.

This is why we should lock down the OS to prevent people from creating databases of people. There are so many applications out there asking for people's DOB and that's because we let people just install whatever app they want. There's absolutely no positive use case for that.
