Where's the second one?
DNC and GOP. They are united in that they both support capital, but are pit against each other to divide the working class. It's an example of theatrics, and the disunity of the system to prevent real systemic change. Same with how separation of powers is used.
Decentralization and centralization can both be used for good and for bad, and both have use-cases.
Okay what's the second one?
Repeating myself:
I also explained how separation of powers in the US is used as a fulcrum for corruption as well.
Not a bug, working as intended.
I agree, it is intended! It's also an example of decentralization presenting new opportunity for corruption.
Yes, very decentralized.
Not very, but you asked for an example and I gave several.
You gave one that isn't and one that was so broad and nonspecific it was just a restatement of the idea, because you can't separate concept from reality. I'm no longer interested in discussing politics with you; you have lost my respect.
I gave perfectly valid examples. When you fragment something, it can be pit against itself. This can be taken advantage of from the outside. At a smaller scale, let's say you had a union, and had a council instead of a single leader. Said council can devolve into factionalism and splitting, something that has happened in numerous other organizations, and this can be influenced from the outside.
Done means done, no means no, and I am done engaging woth you on serious topics, because you are not a serious person.
I'm plenty serious, but if you don't want a convo that's your choice.
Your mom is plenty serious!
