This won't get rid of the corruption though.

No one ever seems to talk about corruption and it's rampant.

We need a citizen tribunal for these scum. Throw em off a cliff or something (in Minecraft)

I wouldn't mind a swig or two of that cough medicine.

Reminds of when I used to live in Japan. You can buy cough medicine that has codeine in it over the counter called Bron.
Holy shit, I didn't know this. I'd have had a goddamn blast in Roppongi the last night I was there had I know I could just buy this shit at a store. I had been warned to away from the street dudes offering weed, so I just stuck to booze.

Doing so is the only thing I ever did that suddenly made all of the crimes of all of these people, and the inaction of the supposed orgs to hold them responsible for those crimes, make sense.

I mean, yeah, voting for 3rd parties is a thing, maybe at the local level it can even happen, but I think both D and R will collude to lock out any real contenders at the national level.
Capitalism will never be defeated as long as humans desire to be "Kings of their space" Communism could only ever work if there were a way to ensure the people on top were incorruptible, but it is human nature to want more for yourself.

There was a potential spot for an AI programmed overlord, though that is being remove as a possibility with " Equity " and other race based distract and divide tactics to keep the rabble fighting over the top of the bucket.

Coming into an energy surplus would also never be allowed because almost every job we have in the world is simply busy work. The amount of effort that goes into a plastic pre-packed salad is boggling, and the waste it produces is ridiculous.

The only future for humanity would truly be an immense die off of 80% of the population, the useless eaters, then an entire global effort to pool all resources towards space fairing status. Until that happens we are a solar flare or meteor from the fucking stone-age again.

Issue with a " Jury of your peers " is that, almost everyone is completely and utterly fucking retarded. Glued to the TV, their social status updates, or METH.

A truly impartial jury is impossible, and any AI Will be programmed to be equitable. Sky-net needs to be a true reality, cold, incorruptable, ruthless, with one mission for humanity, reach the stars.

That would probably be a coding glitch and then all of humanity would be forced to produce rockets to then shoot a slurry of human guts into the upper atmosphere for eternity.

Agreed. But those in power still need to be held accountable.

Problem is - no one is willing to take the first step. Probably because life is comfortable.

If there's ever a food shortage, I would NOT want to be a politician...

I would make the penalties for greed pretty severe if it were left up to me to make rules in some future society. I dunno if I'd kill anyone but I would cook up something. I don't think this sentiment is even that unpopular, when you ask around. Republicans seem to think all Democrats approve of it, and Democrats seem to think all Republicans approve of it. Which I believe is precisely what those greedy people would want the plebs to think.

I don't see why it has to be the yin and yang of capitalism or communism. I think we can take pieces of both and forge something better than both.

I am sure it is human nature to want more, but is it human nature to act to get more for yourself? I'm not sure it is. Many religions try to teach us to share, in essence. I have found most people will help strangers unless helping is detrimental to them.

I fully support a harsh and violent solution to corruption.

In my version of government, politicians would piss down both legs with fear as they lead the country.

Just a gun constantly pointed at the back of their heads.

There would be a mass grave pre-dug in the middle of capital building.

Mass executions would be a tourist attraction and we would sell the meat to dogs.

I think government service should be mandatory for every citizen, and you never know when you will be called to office, then everyone would want what is best for everyone else. You are only paid minimum wage for this effort.
