Oh look! We can make beneficial treaties with the EU without being a member! Yay brexit!
Edit: not /s
Pre-civilized societies didn’t let power-hungry individuals take over.
Pre-civilized societies were small.
The real question isn't whether bad actors exist. It's how we choose to deal with them. Do we build systems that make it harder for them to dominate others, or ones that practically roll out the red carpet?
This seems like a misunderstanding to me. The people don't build systems. The people are subjected to systems built by dominating bad actors.
I think it will be a slow, drawn out but painful decline.
Can I ask what's made you think that?
repeating you think our courts and legal system is fascist
That's not what I said. I said being a safe pair of hands in the UK legal system is close to fascism and then that the UK legal system is a tool of oppression and control a la fascism. Please don't put words in my mouth or misrepresent what I say.
that
Curious that you've referred to some "that" which implies a specific thing but all I said was the UK legal system in action which is very general. I wonder what the specific thing is in your mind.
You are out of your mind and extremely sheltered if you think that is anything even close to fascism.
I'd echo that back. If you think the UK legal system is any way just and not a tool of oppression and control (a la fascism) then you must be extremely sheltered.
Close to fascism, are you crazy?
Are you? Have you seen the UK legal system in action? ROFL
That's because the important bit is the "gave £330 million to Palantir" and not the "NHS data platform". Palantir execs are laughing, NHS managers are paying their mortgages, all is well. Where's the problem?
Having a legal system = fascist now
That's not what I said.
Being a safe pair of hands in the UK's legal system.. close to fascism. Starmer in particular, facism.
tack to fascism
Uhh.. Sir Starmer, ex-Director of Public Prosecutions cannot tack to facism because he's already there and has been since long before he came to power.
I don't think we can predict it
Ummm...
I believe the decline will happen in our lifetimes
....that's a prediction :-)
Here's mine:
First famine: 2028
World reaching half 2025 population: 2030/31
Year brexit becomes irrelevant: 2028
Again, I'm totally mystified about your focus on brexit.
