...we're gonna have to re-evaluate old concepts of free speech and democracy.
Everyone's on anti depressants/sleepers/speed, the chuds are blasting testosterone out their ears until they stroke, weed is everywhere and as potent as heroin.
Add the perfect dopamine delivery system, a political internet economy modeled on the addictive technology of vegas slot machines.
It's gonna have an effect on the national psyche.
Is it a partial explanation for Q?
Shout out to the divorced, biker, small business tyrant, dad...caught with test injectables and thc edibles, and guns, after the Capitol. Just the only man for the moment.

edit: gotta step away for now. will come back to this. Feels like this post was misunderstood, or I just didn't make enough sense. Hope it won't make things awkward when i slide into selected PMs asking for a plug 😀
Not trying to be a dick either here, frankly this post is either a comprehension fail or disingenuous. Of course there's an element of conjecture, the points in the OP were massively broad.
Fundamentally, is there a point at which we re-evaluate democracy with consideration for modern factors which didn't exist in the past? It's glib, but one of the conditions for democracy is an educated citizenry. We don't have that imo.
Would we consider re-evaluation when the entire republican party is objectively irrational qanon white supremacists, as an extreme example?
I'm happy to go through your post point by point, if you're interested, because I think it's worth discussing. It's your perogative to dip out.
Please don't, it's really not worth discussing. There's a reason this post thread was removed by mods. Feel free to think I am disingenuous.
As you wish.
I'm interested in your response to the core of the last post though:
Fundamentally, is there a point at which we re-evaluate democracy with consideration for modern factors which didn’t exist in the past? It’s glib, but one of the conditions for democracy is an educated citizenry. We don’t have that imo.
Would we consider re-evaluation (of democracy) when the entire republican party is objectively irrational qanon white supremacists, as an extreme example?
I reject this premise. I'm not particularly interested in answering a hypothetical based on something that you believe in. I don't think the problem is that people have been "dumbed down" and I do not support whatever "re-evaluting democracy" means that would attempt to correct something like that. It's really that simple.
