      If only we had a kakistocracy. The current regime is a mixture of a pedophilocracy, felonocracy and kakistocracy, along with a few other unsavory ocracies.

        I’m not gonna lie, I’m unfamiliar with all of those terms and had to look them up.

        Kakistocracy = gov filled with ethically bad people and least qualified

        Couldn’t find pedophil-ocracy, assuming you mean pedophocracy = the unknown elite being pedos to control us

        Felonocracy = gov is run by felons

        So, I’m gonna have to pop your bubble a little bit and say that I’m not sure I believe that. It’s possible, sure, but it’s more likely just a deeply unfortunate coincidence that those people are all those things - or even that extreme wealth turns you into those things - and that this is just plain old capitalism at work.

        Because at the end of the day, we would still not want this level of extreme wealth disparity AND we don’t want such centralized extreme power AND we don’t want money to give rise to power. Which are the real ocracy issues here imo

      Let’s keep funding it though and keep spending on all of our wants that we don’t need. That way things will get worse!
