Trump “unhinged” but woman who sold the nation ”the secret” our next president

we are in an oligarchy, not an aristocracy...........

That's just the negative version of aristocracy. Like Tyranny vs Monarchy. But good point I guess.

To me...that's all bullshit I guess... I don't think there is such thing as Aristocracy as he articulated it -- maybe in small villages etc. There definitely have been benevolent kings...there has never been an entire nobility that was benevolent.

i witnessed a normie use the word "kekistocracy" and shake his head sadly. this was after he told me about the gay orgie he'd recently blacked out drunk at.

Governments founded by meritocracy which lead to an aristocracy have historically been good until the noble seed is weakened and corrupted.

A kakistocracy (English pronunciation: /kækɪsˈtɑkɹəsi/) is a system of government which is run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens. The word was coined as early as the 17th century. It was also used by English author Thomas Love Peacock in 1829, but gained significant usage in the 21st century.

I think this does indeed happen more than people realize. I first noticed this in MMORPGs....you ever notice how the most incompetent and pathetic fucks in the guild are the highest status, have the most loot, lots of friends...etc?

What happens when a super fast-rising good player tries to shake things up? Well hes kicked of course. Way too threatening.

Imagine my surprise when I find out this kind of how modern corporations work. Kill the threatening people and promote the dumbasses who you can relay on. They know their a piece of shit lucky to have the job. Last thing you need is someone smarter and more capable around challenging you.

Evidence: I was pretty bad at video games but was always in whatever the top MMO guild was on my server with some of the best loot (except that faceless shit - LOL at that).

i like Job's take on smart people, "you don't hire smart people to tell them what to do, you hire smart people so they can tell you what to do." this always made alot of sense to me as someone who has always been a bit above my average peers.

this is why Trump has been successful in the private sector. being "smart" doesn't make one a good leader or even a meaningful contributor. you can be brilliant and impotent at the same time because you lack the ability to wield your own talents.

right off the bat id have to disagree with trump being smart lol. i think what he meant was more along the lines of someone like trump shouldn't hire a real smart guy just to make him conform and do what trump wants the point of hiring smart people is so they can help you make your business better and find new and better ways of doing things. of course i didnt mean to come off like being smart is the end all be all of things i mean obvi look at trump lol trump may be smart depending on how you judge the characteristic is he smart like roger penrose or neil degrasse tyson hell no, but is he smart like a mega church pastor is smart where 1000's maybe 10's of thousands of people give their money so that pastor can live in a mansion, yeah ill give him that.
