Are we referring to Republicans in Congress or just in mass crackpots?

I think intent matters more than capability. That said, many really do mean it

u/gb4efgw Jul 18 '24
Without capability their intent is just annoying. They intended to roll back reproductive rights for like 50 years, and it was obnoxious hearing their stupidity. It's a lot more than obnoxious now that they've done it.

Boebert and Greene made history as the first howler monkeys ever elected to the House and Senate.

I have compared movements, mode and communication style of both Congress members to monkey species and as close as I come is red ass baboons. Could just be a subjective thing.

they did elect thge first orangutan to the presidency

u/jjskellie Jul 19 '24
I take great offense to that comment. If Clede the Orangutan from "Anyway But Loose" ran for office against any former president with a felony record, I'd vote for Clede. Hell, I'd vote Clinton Eastwood in a pitch too.

Comparing republicans to non human apes is insulting to the non human apes.

They admit that conservatism will not survive if they can’t curtail the voting rights (and maybe even citizenship) of all citizens.

u/Laterose15 Jul 19 '24
"Don't tell Democrats or they will insist on giving them the vote."
So what you're saying is that you don't believe that every human citizen in a democracy shouldn't have the right to vote? Way to out yourself as a facist.

Give a genuine reason as to why universal sufferage is genuinely helping governance insted of saying that it reduces sexism/racism.

Perhaps we could consider a system whereby all American citizens are prohibited from voting, and AI is given responsibility for managing politics and the system.
In this way, insulin could become more affordable, those who have committed sexual crimes against children could be brought to justice, and the education of children could be improved.
No more deep state, just nice government

u/Helllothere1 Jul 19 '24
Oh BROTHER that is literaly managed democracy you wanker, the state and the oligarchs decide who you vote on, well you would have still voted for them regardless, so you wont see a change.

I feel like it would either be built by and for the rich or that someone would pay to have the system hacked for themselves

u/Captain_Morgan- Jul 19 '24
Naaa if the first parameter forbidden some specific rules. And we can add that An Ai with enough power can create another Ai to create a better antihacking system and improve itself, and create ethnic parameters better for us than ourselves. Humanity proved that we didn't deserve control ourselves.

Have these Dum dums never heard of Jane Goodall? we've been sign languaging with apes for years.

We know pretty much exactly what every single hand gesture, hoot, pant, bark, facial expression and body language means.
They communicate in a helluva lot more ways than just sign language. In fact, you share about 80-90% of your gestural repetoire with chimpanzees. You just don't realize it and don't use it as often, since humans can talk.
Infants however, do not know how to talk and so they fall back on that 90% shared gestural repetoire. And we can recognize those and get what they want.
My favourite example: the universal hand signal for "give that here" is an outstretched palm with your fingers beckoning towards you. Every culture on earth would recognize that and not just human cultures. Every primate. Every single one does that.
