If only the same could be done to certain political figures nowadays...

@B P (Ult1m4) you do it :) be the motivator
@B P (Ult1m4) No need to got that far, just force them to hold responsability for their actions and any lie would purge them immediatly. That would give such a fresh air to politics !
@Ellundril Yeah, right... and who will force them to hold responsibility for their actions? Every politician lies with all their teeth with no consequences. We are talking about our present day world after all.
@Modern I lack the skills, patience and conviction to make that final stand. Maybe when i don't have anything else to lose...
@B P (Ult1m4) Become the Mario to our holy Luigi, piss be upon NY
@B P (Ult1m4) Republics have fallen in the past, and they will again. Despite that I think they're better to live in, the cycle of history doesn't care.
Rome printed money until it stopped working too. Also attempted price fixing. Eventually, the economy doesn't hold up any longer due to corruption and waste. The public finally considers the ruling class illegitimate. The military or whoever has the most military force sees it as an opportunity. The details after that can be relatively fortunate (still bad, but less) or awful.
Just as kings were untouchable until they weren't, so too is the ruling class under an increasingly corrupt republic.
@S_Logic Until what comes next will be even worse but i digress... sigh.
@B P (Ult1m4) America is currently trying to bring Feudalism with the billionaires as the new nobility.
Elon Musk shall become Duke of Texas, possibly of the entire southwest.
@Kazooie Same in France. They destroyed public services to align the pocket of the most wealthy people then want to private everything because there is no longer enough money to run the collective facilities (to get even more benefits).
We have an actual condemned candidate who is trying to become president only to get the immunity...
@B P (Ult1m4) Indeed, it is almost always worse. If we could fix our republic instead, we should. Hasn't happened many times in history though...
