    in advanced democracies like :amerikkka:, human rights for minorities can only be decided by 9 unelected demons or unprecedented levels of violence

      :live-tucker-reaction: "In the authoritarian American Dictatorship, rights are not created by the people, but rather thought to be ordained by their state-sanctioned deity. The Elders of Washington, the unelected quasi-religious governmental body gets to decide what and how rights are enacted. They can also be removed at any time at the whim of the state. The people have no say in the politics of their country, and yet they actually prefer it this way. They legitimately believe that their "rights," what little they may have, are actually threatened by their participation in the state, rather than the other way around."
