Yes, you’ve got the idea

And is right out

Not “so?”. “So”.

For example.

So…the pizza is on fire

Story of my life

It’s so pure. No narrative. Just wiggling colorful stuff in my face.

I can see this meme going places.

Analyzing the conversation does not the joke get.

Do you like “off the air”?

I really like it.

Yes, that is an option

By remaining invisible, the billionaires avoid having the finger pointed at them. We only point at each other.

Well the breaking here is the corruption. The 2 different flavors of that. Still ostensibly dictatorship or democracy but not.

People are generally very breakfast cereal. One musn’t get worried about that.

And the incongruity here. Preferring the one kind of government for one kind of society, but the other for another. That’s a big deal. Bears discussing.

It’s one of those things that you wonder why nobody ever pointed it out.

So could say that both suffer from a vulnerability. Both break eventually.

Also, consider the attractiveness of dictatorship. I think that everybody would like to be a dictator. Who wants to share power? Not me. I want to be in control, of my forum, my project, my game.

(first, thank you for achieving the straightforwardness that has escaped so many others here)

What is the difference between online society and irl society that makes dictatorship preferable in one and democracy preferable in the other?

Is it the size? The complexity?

If the dictator was you, might that make dictatorship more attractive?

But that wasn’t my question, was it?

My question was whether you prefer a democracy or a dictatorship.

The answer is clearly dictatorship.

And you also stated that it is inherently democratic.

Would it kill you to stop being so coy and evasive?

It’s a thousand dictatorships.

Yeah but they aren’t actually determining policy. Obviously.

Why are you bullshitting?

In a democracy the vote determines policy.

But this is obvious. Right?

Democracy means that power is held by the people. It doesn’t mean that if you don’t like it you can leave.
