You could look at it like a gyroscope or you could look at it like a boat.

I think what you are saying is like saying it's pointless fixing a boat because sooner or later it will leak again.

As long as the just war criteria is met, and the government is committing intolerable abuse on it's citizenry, then I say it's worth doing.

It’s somewhat more like trying to teach Calculus and most everyone in the class has an IQ of 85. Do what you may but they’ll revert to being hard wired stupid.

Well I have superior intelligence and could provide for those less fortunate.

I could rule and order society in an egalitarian, democratic, and no-nonsense way.

Get rid of the corporate power.

How do you recommend I proceed?

Will you take orders from people who don’t know what they’re doing?

Egalitarianism leads to oppressive government because of the pyramid principle: the people at the top won’t want to share power, mostly because the majority of people are stupid. The stupids want to pour water out of the toilet on nuclear power plant, for example.

The Inner Party rules because it has to do so.

Would the majority of our population really be so fucking stupid if it weren't for the food being laced with every type of carcinogenic and neurotoxic poison, the women all being tainted with hormonal contraception making their minds malfunction and social media promoting the filthiest most mind-destroying vices? Also, no civics education, instead replaced with classes on how to masturbate and count all the different types of fag?

There are decisions the general public should be allowed to make, and those only the smarts should be allowed to make.

I say the composition of the government should be up to everyone. The smarts should be tasked with the actual mechanics of running it.

At the moment, yeah, we're not capable of democracy since even the smart people are so fucking stupid that half of them think boys are girls and the other half think a violent coup is patriotism or that we should give all our money to the jews.

But if we fix the underlying cause making everyone so fucking dumb: bad food, bad medicine, social media and a lack of education, I think your average voter could be competent enough to make those decisions.
