  • What do you mean by doesn't last long? Also if the society was a complete meritocracy what accountability would the people have?

  • Ok, I just wanted to make sure if that is what you were saying.

  • This is a copy of a reply to @[email protected] :

    Just to make it clear the definition that I used does not talk about choosing people for tasks they are suited for, but rather putting them in positions of power, success, and influence.

  • It’s still a shitty status quo, but it is what it is.

    I don't like the status quo and I think it should change.

  • Honestly I wouldn't be surprised.

    Like even if this thing with states acting up doesn't work out the people they are speaking too are definitely gonna still be riled up.

    It seems obvious to me that they are probably planning something for the upcoming election since they would try and make sure that another "election steal" wouldn't happen again.

    The only way that I see this not turning into a civil war is for government to somehow change the conversation drastically so that people aren't asking these questions.

    Because if people begin asking these questions then people planning to do stuff are gonna be even more anxious and try and do the thing earlier.

    I'm not sure how they would change the conversation though because all the republican population is going to just ignore them and still think we are heading towards a civil war making it just more likely to happen.

  • Yeah it is but it just irks me either way.

    Edit:

    I just want to clarify I am agreeing that in our current society that if you have more money you tend to be highly valued.

    I am not agreeing that this is how it should be.

  • Vote with your money.

    I really hate this phrase. It basically is saying that if you have more money then you have more "votes".

    Or to put it in another way: If you have more money you matter more.

  • Huh small world I guess.

  • Do you think there is a distinction between passive and active news consumption?

    Like reading news to inform yourself on a decision vs just passively reading the news?

  • Why did cutting out all news make you anxious?

  • Honestly, I think half the US would be more informed if they never watched the news again.

    I mean what do you do as an alternative to staying informed if not reading the news.

    I agree with doing hobbies to increase your skills but doing that doesn't keep you up to date does it?

  • But what do you do as an alternative?

  • Yeah I was sort of expecting someone who tried to play into that aspect but I've still been getting good answers anyways.

  • Yours.

  • Yes they can leave stuff.

  • no problem just wanted to help.
