Anyone who who is capable of getting themselves made president should on no account be allowed to do the job.
ETA: Anyone downvoting this is not a hoopy frood
Any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the Galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through and still know where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.
This is needlessly nihilistic, man.
There are tons of politicians who are doing the job for the right reasons. Sure, there's assholes, but there are assholes in every single profession on the planet.
I thought the fediverse would have read the classics and know the references but I guess if it's not Trek or Star Wars nobody gets it.
Don’t panic. There are others…
If I were ever accidentally elected president it's what I'd insist on being under my left hand when I'm sworn in.
That's easy. A stack of the Spawn comics.
What's it from? I'm always looking for new stuff to read!
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Oh shit I missed that entirely haha.
Issue is its skewed for politicians since its a game of power and ethics are drastically more inefficient then corruption. People that will go under the table and do sketchy stuff lie and stuff like that have an advantage over people that refuse to do that even when it’s beneficial to themselves.
Without a doubt, man.
Ahhh yes, mind obliterating cynicism with no wisdom or practical solutions, just the bliss of never having to admit your own civic responsibility to do anything.
Fuck this shit.
Whooosh
Oh I'm aware of the source. And I repeat: Fuck this shit. It's stupid and self destructive and needs to be left in the past, not mindlessly repeated.
Pot, meet kettel. Complaining about cynicism without offering anything constructive is worse than being cynical itself.
Pointing to the flaws in society is important, because not everyone has the right to complain about some entities (be it their government, religion or superiors), but your replies offer even less by failing to contribute anything and detracts from the point of the initial statement.
