Charlie Kirk CONFRONTED By Liberal Student With Unexpected Questions

[@KraccerJakk]

I LOOOOVE how she RE-FUSES to answer anything!

I love your play by play of these videos, man!

She does not answer questions.Tries to be intellectual

TRUTH!!!

[@nightwingvyse]

The reason democracy is fundamentally flawed is because it gives equal weight to the opinions of the most ignorant people as the informed people, the same weight to the unproductive as the productive, the same to the ideological as the objective, to the impressionable as the critical, to the uninvested as the invested, to the dishonest as the honest etc. Democracy is what makes useful idiots useful. We're intentionally and carefully programmed to not question democracy at all and to believe that anyone who does is a fascist, but there are frankly better systems.

[@johns7530]

I really like your comment. Based on what we saw during Covid and how people behaved and were manipulated, I have to question how many people actually deserve the right to vote. There are too many "useful idiots" as you put it. Democracy would be a much more plausible system that could yield much better outcomes if the government and corporate controlled media was transparent and honest, rather than deceitful, and promoting political candidates that serve them rather than the public. And if people were less dumb, or at least more street smart. Even smart people are rather easily deceived sometimes. Instead, people are easily made to be afraid of the wrong things. The media takes every well meaning person with the guts to speak truth to power, and characterizes them in a completely misleading light. I don't put anyone on a pedestal and RFK Jr is far from perfect, but compared to Biden and Trump he is superior in terms of intellect and character, by a mile. He would win the popular vote easily if this country had half a brain. His book on Fauci is spot on about all of the deception that happened during the pandemic, which was truly a crime against humanity. Even if he isn't your guy, we need enormously better people in positions of power than Trump or Biden, and one of them will probably win. But I don't trust any group that holds power just b/c they believe or know that they are smarter than everybody else. That's how people like Fauci and Gates get cult like acclaim, without people recognizing the evil behind both of them.

Well, I mean, technically, unless you are talking about some kind of anarchism or syndicalism, if your form of gov't is highly centralized or authoritarian, unlike democracy, it falls more within the realm of fascism more or less. The problem with democracy, I think, is not so much that there are too many ignorant people; the problem is that if you could better inform those people, or perhaps make them more critical, would they still all agree with each other on every fundamental level? Also, highly educated individuals will make every conceivable effort to leave the lower classes, I believe, making it hard to establish an economy of productive labor. This last part, however, is a bit more nuanced and controversial of a take. Oh, and Kirk is trash btw...

[@TheOfficialKIKI]

@@johns7530 I would like to recommend a book called "The Plague" by Camus. I really couldn't believe how accurately his description of a town in the 40's showed every single thing we did as a country during covid. We learn nothing from the past, unfortunately.

[@johns7530]

@@TheOfficialKIKI Thanks for the recommendation. What was difficult during Covid was that even if you saw what was going on, and how it was more an evil fear based control attempt to wield power over people rather than being about safety, it was still very difficult to behave differently. I didn't want to make it difficult for myself to get food, or be ridiculed publicly for not wanting to wear a mask, that sort of thing. Even if you are wise enough to know history, sometimes all you can do is watch what is happening, without being able to change it, sadly.

​@@TheOfficialKIKI The alternative to democracy doesn't have to be either anarchism, syndicalism or fascism. That's kind of what I was talking about where we're programmed to think that the only options are democracy or dystopia, but they're not. An easy alternative would be to simply implement standards that someone needs to meet in order to have a license to vote. They wouldn't even need to be very high standards. Can someone attain a grade school level score in a basic civics test? (That alone would filter out a significant minority of people). Barring any extenuating circumstances, have they spent the majority of the their adult life being a productive citizen (or at least independent), as opposed to living off of the taxpayer's dime? Have they spent the majority of their adult life outside prison? How long is their rap sheet? Simple low bars like these would be all it takes to filter out many of the least qualified to say who should run the country and write its laws. It could be renewed every 10 years maybe, like a drivers license or something. Hell, as bad as sortition would be (selecting leaders by lottery similar to jury duty), even that would be better than the system the Western world uses currently. I agree with you that to better inform ignorant people would relieve some of the problems with democracy (which is an extension of my sentiment), but the unfortunate fact is that it's not going to happen. Political parties (one more than others right now) are highly motivated in keeping people ignorant and following their carefully curated media narrative as they frame normalcy as radicalism and radicalism as normalcy. It's also no coincidence that they want to provide refuge for as many illegal immigrants as possible, while simultaneously wanting to remove any requirement for someone to prove they're a legal citizen in order to vote. If I were an illegal immigrant who didn't need to prove my identity to vote I'd certainly be voting for the party that let me in...... When you say Kirk is trash, are you referring to a possible crime he's committed or something immoral he's done, or is it just because you don't agree with him?

[@jaycoleman8062]

I was taught that the party in charge gets a lot of what they want, but not everything. In a true democracy, the ruling party runs the show 100%. Democracy is not mentioned in the Declaration of Independence at all. Our republic protects the fringe groups from being eliminated if we had leaders who said to. I've been out of school for over 40 years, so that's all I got.

If one state had fraudulent voting, the distortion to the honest, accurate vote of the nation is limited to the number of electoral votes the state has. It is a self limiting protection against fraud. The girl's questions were very intelligent, and the discussion was excellent. I think that a large part of the answer to her questions is that the most aggressive, strike first, animals (and humans) were winners in natural selection, and because of our nature there have to be common sense limits to pure democracy, to prevent a tyranny of the majority to trample others.

[@bsrodeo7s]

The issue I have with electoral votes is how the democrats set it up to where the majority gets the entire states electoral votes. It should be split and counted as the voters reflect.
