Democratic Peace Theory

[BidenPresident]

Biden already told you...several times.
Democrats.

you are a stupid asshole

 

[Into the Night]

You sock cunts run your big mouth but never saw combat.

He's not Doc.

 

[Into the Night]

There's no doubt that you're a sock. Anyone who saw combat wouldn't be such a cunt like you.

He's not Doc.

Democracy is a form of government. It is government by popular vote. It has representatives and no constitution.

Democracies are an unstable form of government. Soon or later (usually sooner!) one faction gains control and votes themselves into greater and greater power. Democracies usually dissolve into an oligarchy or dictatorship. Athens dissolved into a dictatorship. Democracy rarely results in peace.

Exactly. No one can make an argument in favor of democratic peace theory or they'd be here. Too many of us know the history of WWI when the so-called democracies of Europe fought over who had the power of control.

There were no democracies in Europe at the outbreak of WW1.

Is the US a democracy?

 

[IBDaMann]

You getting off on brown people being slaughtered proves that you are a cunt.

Dare I ask what you have misread my position to be?

That's why you need a sock to hide your cowardice.

Would you mind being a little more coherent?

 

[IBDaMann]

Is the US a democracy?

Nope. It's a republic.

 

[Hawkeye10]

The people who run America doit from the shadows, and dont give a flying fuck what we think or want or need.

... and that conservatives will applaud genocide as long as Israel is the perpetrator.

Go Israel, right or wrong ... but always right! Say it with me "I don't know what genocide you're talking about, but the fucking Arabs totally deserve it."

This is not satire or something a conservative would say. This is who you are with the help of a sock.

Dare I ask what you have misread my position to be?


Would you mind being a little more coherent?

You and your socks talk so much shit that you can't keep track of what your position is.

 

[IBDaMann]

Again, your pretense of omniscience has you saying stupid things.

This is who you are with the help of a sock.

Why do you pretend that I somehow need a sock to somehow "help me" say what I wish to say? I'm quite capable of saying what I need to express.

You and your socks talk so much shit that you can't keep track of what your position is.

You are the one who can't keep track of what my position is. You confuse yourself and then try to blame me for your confusion.

 

[goat]

"I don't know what genocide you're talking about, but the fucking Arabs totally deserve it."

Who are you quoting here? Only a conservative with arrested development would hold that much hate. Your gibberish somehow ends up on threads that are important to me. I knew no JPP liberal could make a strong argument in support of democratic peace theory.

Again, your pretense of omniscience has you saying stupid things.

My position on science is clear. They get their funding from the likes of Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Gates.

 

[IBDaMann]

You need to follow along the discussions.

Well, if you knew who I was quoting, why did you ask?

Your gibberish somehow ends up on threads that are important to me.

You are the one filling your own threads with unintelligible gibberish. You clearly don't need any help from anyone.

My position on science is clear.

You don't have any positions that are clear. Did you want to take a stab at expressing one and maybe I can help you with the wording?

They get their funding from the likes of Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Gates.

See? Right here. You think that science is people. That's rather stupid of you. I would ask you to stop filling your threads with gibberish. It's painful.

From Wikipedia
The democratic peace theory posits that democracy causes peace, while the territorial peace theory makes the opposite claim that peace causes democracy. Other theories argue that omitted variables explain the correlation better than democratic peace theory.
-------------------------------

Basically, democratic peace theory is democracies don't fight other democracies. Anyone believe this crap?

I’m trying to recall the last major conflict between two democracies. I’m sure you have a long list. Go ahead and provide it.

Trolls are ambiguous so they always have an out for bad behavior, same is true for socks. I can't thread ban all the hate here on JPP, so I try to reason with it. No sane person believes democracy leads to peace. GWB and Dick Cheney are now the darlings of msnbc. You can't make this shit up.

One of the best arguments in Cyberia was to avoid Civil War by allowing confederates to secede from the union and become dependent on British industry. No one could debunk offensive realism. Confederate states would eventually become like Canada and Australia without all the bloodshed.

WWI in Europe is how I see the endless war for power. WWII was funded by western banksters. Peace will never be an option until we kill the goose that laid the golden egg.

Your question involves a "no true Scotsman" fallacy. Remove the word "major."

I suppose you missed Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

You might not have been around when Iraq invaded Kuwait.

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is frequently beligerent, sending missiles over Japan and firing munitions into South Korea.

Saudi Arabia attacked Yemen in 2015.

Pakistan invaded Kashmir.

Did you need more?

Prediction: I bet you're going to complain that the aforementioned countries aren't democracies because you don't know what democracies are.

basically all nations have elections now. how many legal parties are allowed, or how many ways elections are corrupt is a big variable.

Authoritarian regimes such as America still hold elections...they simply do not matter.

Those few who bothered to get their asses educated know about this.
