    let's not compare antiquity to today so shallowly please, there was a totally different world once, it's not fair to draw such hasty comparisons.


    because a bad government favors the state and who controls it, a good one favors the citizens and their human rights. democracy should obviously grant the second one, but it's as utopic as saying "anarchy".
    I don't even know how to debate a post like this.

    None of what you write is based on reason or fact. It is frankly incoherent.

    Try to organize your own thoughts better. Give examples of what you mean. Don't be so vague and ambigous when saying I am drawing hasty comparisons about antiquity, but refute my statement correctly.

    Not trying to be mean or hostile btw. I am just saying I cannot debate your post because it is not making a coherent argument in the first place, frankly I have this issue with your posts on here generally speaking.
