That's the narrow definition. The ideal idea. For me, it's about base democracy, where every area chooses it's local leaders and the choose to cooperate with other areas, or not.
He's new to me. I tend to ignore people who are anti anything.
Ah, my biggest concern with monarchy would be that it's completely inhumane for the people in the royal family. They have no real life, despite having privileges. Anyone who's ever been close to a monarchy will probably agree to that. It's especially hard on the youth. Imagine having at least two wardens around, 24 hours a day, every day. There's also a lack of privacy. And a lack of choice in life.

Of course I read what you wrote. But to desire something that you know isn't workable is illogical.

I suspected that pretty early on..
Development does take resources though. And it's slow to catch up for sure

Desiring something is not illogical. Believing it is.
True - I can't really stand on my ignorance of the nature of reality.

You only admitted that anarchism wouldn't work. Whatever.

I said a benevolent monarchy was highly unlikely, leaving open the infinitesimal possibility that a singular humane person could assume power. Although not very powerful, and likely with skeletons in the closet I'm unaware of, Elizabeth II seemed to approach it.

I stand by my previous statement. You seem attached to fantasy scenarios that simply won't work in reality.

If posting bullshit to TikTok is "scientific debate" we are well and truly fucked anyways.
I guess we are.... as an entire generation has been brainwashed to believe this is an existential crisis. TikTok is a new vehicle for disseminating political talking points.

The irony of a Chinese company preaching about climate, a country which basically doesn't give a crap about climate policy
It's mostly to suppress political debate, of course, but since everything is politic...
The Chinese CP is afraid of their people. And of the internet. Hype is too easy. A revolution can be started in minutes. Just look at what the Budweiser ad did. How much have the shares sunk by this mistake?
Unrelated, but interesting. India has just surpassed China when it comes to number of inhabitants. The political climate is ripe for revolution, due to rampant corruption and a number of aggressive religions. The next area to explode?
They can't preach about politics. So it's the next best thing, maybe?
Besides, the CP does care about climate. They risk losing a serious part of their city population to smog and a serious part of agriculture to drought. I don't think they've missed that.
One famine will mean the end of the CP. I fear whatever will replace it.

Why do you see Trump everywhere?
I didn't and I can't read minds, but it seems logical that the cartoonist is accusing all politicians of abusing the overused "trust science" call to authority.

Talking about climate silliness. Secretary Granholm called for 100% electrification of all military vehicles by 2030... I guess that means they can only wage warare where they have adequate charging stations.
