In Spain this actually exists.

Their assistants, lobbyists and whisperers know.

Wow there’s so much wrong with this:

The concept of a digital data processing machine was made by Charles Babbage, a mathematician from England.

The first phone was constructed by Italian engineer and inventor Antonio Meucci, Bell just got the patent for something that was being “invented” in several forms in previous years.

Karl Benz from Germany invented the automobile but it was already Leonardo Da Vinci who conceived the idea of mechanical vehicles. The French Nicolas Cugnot built the first steam propelled tractor/car in 1769.

The moon might be yours but only because the USA confiscated all the German knowledge about rockets and took the engineers like Wernher von Braun

If the US eliminated starvation is something I can’t deny nor confirm but you certainly invented the largest drug abuse crisis (opioids and derivatives) in the history of mankind. Oh and mass imprisonment is also an achievement that probably challenges China or North Korea.

Not sure about the progress aspect there, I have doubts. But one thing I know for sure: The US needs better education, it’s horrible how wrong you were.

That hasn’t worked for North America, it’s not working in the EU and if I look at South America… no I won’t.

So what’s the alternative then? Representative democracies devolve into shit shows given sufficient amount of time. Dictatorships are horrible, council-led states (Sowjet) don’t work either… So what’s left?

Anarchy doesn’t work either…

I intentionally wrote: representative democracies. I’m not aware of any ongoing implementation of complete direct democracy, not even in Switzerland so I can’t tell for those.

Nowadays you can cause riots by saying: Humans come in XY and XX chromosomes by genetic program, the correct expression of this genetic program leads to male or female genitalia and there’s currently no medical or surgical procedure to change that, no matter how much you insist. So that was one notch less controversial.

Representative Democracies have failed (are failing) like all other political ruling systems have failed so far. Some failed just faster than others that failed more catastrophically while some fail silently (agonizing). In the end all systems failed.

Quite hyperbolic. Sorry but I don’t see a point for further engagement, I don’t see me your you benefitting from continuing this exchange. You don’t want to engage nor reason, you like to deflect. Which is a fine strategy to look smart, but it doesn’t further the discussion.

On a personal note; Find an instance that doesn’t give you grievances.

You might not want to look into most voting mechanisms used in representative democracies…

Voting is voting. Nobody was talking about fair, equal etc votes.

Right now the way votes are cast it imperfect and can be exploited by using sockpuppet accounts, but this can change at any time and switch to a polling service. Is that better? Well maybe, electronic voting is hard.

But as I said: Your issue is a non-issue, the inherent nature of the Fediverse makes it irrelevant, just switch instance, self-host… There’s no exclusivity here. You’re not the customer or the product here, you’re a contributor and you can contribute from anywhere.

You see a problem where there is none: Don’t like voting, find an anarchist lemmy instance. Don’t like this either? Open your own. That’s the beauty of the Fediverse, you’re not prisoner of a centralised platform, the same service, the same information can get to you via any other instance.

A council of trusted people. I’ve seen that somewhere else before. How were these people called… Ah yes: Sowiet.
