Your ideal form of government?

[Xenophon]

The problem with this idea in modern times is that we cannot really see a leader that "fights well." All i see is a bunch of weak individuals who act tough behind their bodyguards which anyone can do. The biggest thing that would matter to me is integrity, but the problem with that today is being able to recognize true integrity vs fake projected integrity.

How i see it, if leader floods you with video content showing who he is — most likely that leader is full of shit.

That is why being bombed back to the stone age might be a blessing. "Sustainable development" is taking there in slow motion and at the price of irreversable environmental degradation.

Real democracy is the best (think a perfect Netherlands or Sweden).

Short of that Sliders had an episode, season 2 episode 9, Obsession, where the actual power was held by a benevolent although not saintly master psychic who was apparently correct much more than half the time.

For me, the ideal form of government is non-government. I advocate for the radical depopulation of human beings on the planet and the establishment of an enlightened meritocracy of a small number of spiritually advanced individuals. I know, it sounds a bit Illuminati, but since we're talking about ideal government, I can share what I think.

As far as what's available on this planet, secular democracy Social Liberalism appears to offer the most freedom, health, safety and advancement for occult investigation and magical arts for the most people.

The Book of Codes(Liber 718) outwardly has a government system based on ranked magical advancement. Which, idealistically, could be cool, but maybe works better as hidden kings moving the spirits at those levels.

if you ran things what government would you set up?

As society has evolved we threw off the power of kings and rulers (so we say). yet in 2022 the governments we elect decide who we vote for, waste our taxes, etc...and we demonize dictatorships when our history of interfering in other countries is no better, I think we just paint America as the greatest place to live, I love America yet we shouldn’t sugar coat history. It reminds me of history in schools where we make our founding fathers out to be Saints when Lincoln had racist views and Washington could be a grade A asshole.

imo if I ran things I would be an absolute dictator, having said that, people should have the right to over throw their government when it becomes tyrannical.

the reason for my choice is that people don’t seem to have the capacity to use their ability to vote in a responsible way.

Fuck all the logistics. How about a government without corruption or greed?
