So democracies don't have hierachies?
Interesting debating technique: YOU introduced the term 'hierachy' in #447, when asking your question "so China doesn't have hierachy?"
Hence your diversionary response to my assertion re Chinese
consensus politics, which also happens in Western political parties when they select candidates for election by the entire electorate in an adversarial-party general election.
Quote:Notionally they do. They are called various names, Cabinet ministers. But you said China had no hierarchies,
Thank you; and no I didn't say that, you did, as noted above.
Quote:Ah, gatekeepers. That says it all. gatekeepers keep the proles at bay.
Yes, hence consensus selection by the 'gatekeepers'.
Quote:No you haven't. That is your asssumption.
Common sense: if govt. delivers the essentials for all, people don't riot about lack of public housing, public education, public health care and lack of jobs. (It's bad in the EU, but even New York voters are turning to the socialist left....and social breakdown caused by financial stress is happening in Oz, with family violence and violence against pollies increasing.
You ofcourse won't explain the increasing disillusionment (of a sizable proportion of the electorate) with mainstream politics.
Quote:Ah, prsumably, That is anotrher assumption.
Dummy lee again: shopkeepers are boarding up their shops in order to (insert your own words...)
Quote:you were the one that called him "homeless".
Dummy lee: I reported content supplied by AI from Nugent's social media; the police will sort out the details.
Quote:Whereas you are just a moron. Sorry, sometimes your rhetoric goes ove rthe top. And that means I may also do that.
No: I read the relevant reports and I am waiting for the investigating authorites to determine Nugent's motivation, whereas you are so ideologically crippled you have resorted to attacking me.
Quote:No. You specifically suggested I was FD. Man up. Show it.
Your debating technique is as ideoloigally blind as FD's, as anyone following this exchange can observe.
Stop mindlessly attacking me re Nugent's motivation, and dare to look at Nugent's motivations instead.
Quote:What is a "leaner"?
A worker, as opposed to an 'aspirational' shopkeeper, in Conservative ideology. I note you didn't ask who are the 'lifters' in that Conservative bs rhetoric.
Quote:So they were supposed to have a civil interaction when he ranted at them, one year ago? ;
You deplorable low IQ ideologue: the point is Nugent was alienated from his family at least 4 years ago.
Quote:That is then solely on him.
Low IQ lee: Nugent is responsible for his actions, but did govt. 'austerity' economics play a role in his social alienation?
...while 'austerity' economics is causing political mayhem around the world....and while you think housing and c-o-l crises should be meekly accepted by the populace.
Note: Even if pollies agree to stop shouting at oneanother, the current economic crises won't go away, under our Neoclassical 'austerity' regime.
Quote:Ah, So he was about to get kicked out of where he was living, not homeless, and his estranged parents went in to bat for him again. Sounds very apposite.
Why was he "about to get kicked out of where he was living", and what is "apposite" about his mental state vis a vis his estranged parent's actions? These are among the many questions the relevant authorities need to answer.
Quote:O, a proxy for his family who were still bankrolling him, but it wasn't enough. ;
Dummy lee: estrangement and mental illness isn't necessarily amenable to an offer of a home.
Quote:oh he became an isolated, frustrated environmentalist and took it out on someone.
Looks like it - frustrated by a failing system rendered vicious by Neoclassical 'austerity' economics.
The system YOU support.
"Deplorable".
