Oh 100%, I’m a republican (lowercase R, in the British sense). I just find it ironic that the US portrays itself as having removed monarchy, when it was just replaced with dictator that has a term limit

Ironically, our king has incredibly limited power that is enforced by a strong belief that religion should be separate from politics and an independent judiciary. Your king doesn’t seem to have the same hurdles

Whilst WhatsApp is still owned by meta and I’m sure the US military would have a lot use for the metadata they collect, let’s be honest, I’m sure Putin would prefer if Russians switched to a platform they can spy on themselves

A shadow contract is one of few mechanisms to enter large-scale consensus (it isn’t THAT large when compared to a solar or galactic scale, but large enough for planetary control, and with some clever management, can scale larger).

You don’t know that, I’ve seen shadow contracts that apply to intergalactic scales. I would wager they can be used for interdimensional organisations

That makes no sense to me, it just reinforces the fact that the US president is essentially just an king that gets elected and has a term limit

It’s absolutely wild that the US president is able to pardon convicts. Like you have a supposedly independent legislature and judiciary, and the the president can just go “nuh-uh” to anything he doesn’t like
