So a small government means a king?
Yeah don't you remember the ~~3~~ 1 branches of government?
Branches are too big, the one orange leaf of government
Does that mean the leaf will fall off the tree soon?
Correct. Conservativism comes from a means of fanboying for the monarchy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservatism
I meam, this is true, but labeling all modern conservatives fans of monarchy is disingenuous. There are also fans of unregulated capitalism, racism, facism und probably many other -isms going around!
They all share a belief in a "natural hierarchy". Whether that hierarchy emerges from God, the Market, or Pure Ancestors, they're very similar arguments and they all lead to similar results: An imbalance of power and a group of people (with power) who justify that imbalance with the imbalance itself (I'm better because I have power. I should have power because I'm better.)
What could be smaller than just 1 person?
Just a decapitated head?
Turns out I'm all for this version of a king.
To shreds, you say?
Damn near
And how's his wife holding up?
The English beheaded their king for claiming to be above the law more than a century before the USA was founded.
Can't get smaller than one man.
I think instead of having fewer representatives in government, we should make government smaller by having physically smaller representatives. Like children, or gnomes.
