Can't be that old, Lemmy was even more minuscule until about a year ago.

Yeah, but for the purpose of looking at stable governments in cities, hunter-gather societies aren't a helpful comparison.

Good question! The oldest government still in operation appears to be San Marino, a tiny country near Italy, at around 415 years. Considering that even at a small size it's only been around that long despite civilization being around 6000 years old, I think it's safe to say we haven't managed a system that has real staying power yet.

There are a lot of capitalist countries that haven't collapsed yet. We'll need longer than our lifetimes to see proof that it can never work.

But I suspect that people in power just aren't good enough to keep it from going bad eventually.

Maybe so. Maybe capitalism can never remain checked because the temptation to acquire more wealth will always end up winning. You'd like to think that people are better than that, buuuuut...

Yes, that is goofy. I don't hate Biden as much as some, but I don't particularly like him, either. Still voting for him or whoever else the Democrats dredge up to keep fascism at bay.

samus12345 , vor 6 Tagen an Memes in Crypt force one.

I didn't say it was. I said refusing to vote for him is, albeit passively. Hate Biden all you want, but keep the objectively far worse guy out of power at all costs.

samus12345 , vor 6 Tagen an Memes in Crypt force one.

Only if they refuse to vote for him to keep the even more right wing one out of office.

Shrek the Turd also happens to be a really, really bad movie.
