Nah we don't do that here. I like SE. Refreshing and undebiably dedicated troll methodology. Old school 4chan would be proud. Besides if you ban him, who the heck would even still be on this site. It's like him and four other people

one of the reasons it's so dead is new people come and see so many trolls and spammers then leave

This. This is an infinitely underrated post. But Carswell's METHOD is godawful.

I'm open to improving.

I'd also point out that authoritarianism with "strong leaders" is worse than godawful, no matter how you spin it.

Depends on the leader.

Depends on the leader.

No. It doesn't.
They're all human.
They all must be Machiavellian to even become leader.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Your definition of human is lacking.

I didn't define it, so how would you know?

IMO, you should create /s/askanazi.

Inference. You hold that power corrupts. Yes, this is true, unless somebody has become fully incorruptible. There is an actual science of the mind that allows this, and its practicioners readily see the near-infinite advantages of such a state.

Therefore MOST people are corruptible and will remain so, but there are and will be growing numbers of fully incorruptible individuals. While these are EXCEEDINGLY rare today, there will be more. Soon. Give it a decade and there could be enough to head every single nation on Earth.

Inference ≠ definition.

There already are more than enough to lead all nations - many times over. But they will never be allowed to by the corrupt matrix of rigged systems of centralized power.

We need alternative FOTPACH systems.
