>I'm just saying that reliance on dogmatic teachings is an indoctrinated short-circuit of your brain, and you're here for more than that.

Oh, yes, because it's impossible for someone to arrive at the belief that Jesus is God of their own volition, right?

Yes, I know. But every time an enemy of 4chan dies, a new enemy arises to take its place. But the new enemy always dies, too. Twitter and Discord will die just like SomethingAwful did, just like Gaia did, just like Reddit did, just like Tumblr did. Every enemy of 4chan eventually lights itself on fire.

OP this is why we always tell you about the power of being a volcel. If you had saved yourself for marriage you wouldn't be having this problem, now would you?

You're not even 20 years old yet, are you, OP?

>it's being pushed by Butterfly

You all got mocked and laughed at way back in 2015, you're going to get mocked and laughed at this time, too.

I have actually read the Republic, Anon, and I know that Plato's conception of democracy, the Democracy of Athens, is not the same as modern representative democracy.

But Plato would have disliked our modern democracy just as much, because he would see in in the same tendencies: the tendency to elevate the man who can play to the masses, who can whip up a furor against an enemy, who can imagine an opposition for you and make you hate it with your life. These are the sorts of things that democracy breeds. It does not make for a solid, stable form of government. And America has become increasingly unstable since the 1960s, precisely because it has abandoned its old model of government, which might be termed an "aristocratic republic," and has embraced more purely a democratic mode of government. You can see this in the general abandonment of the caucus system and the old party bosses in determining nominees for the presidency, and the various governorships and senatorial offices.

It's all a mess, and Americans have no one to blame but themselves for thinking that listening to the idiot masses will ever lend itself to stable, solid rule.

Internet leftists of all their various types have gradually been pushing me further and further to the right. At this point I think I might unironically accept an American Franco, with all the butchery that would entail. Just something to put these insufferable faggots in their place.

If anything, the entire Black Panther/Wakanda bullshit is offensive because Afrofuturism used to be a legitimate aesthetic movement in art, music, and poetry. Once again Disney has taken something of value and corrupted it, ruined it, destroyed it.
