Results are in from yesterday's poll about "ideal society"
Yes there was little room for subtlety.
I don't care.

Now let's discuss the answers. Image
First off, 65% of you said TV should not be banned.

Are you stupid? Do you not understand what a dangerous and subversive tool it is?

There's a damn good reason actors were held in such low esteem throughout history.
Marijuana is a non issue, and it was only there to lure you into a sense of false security. Image
I personally am in favor of a martial culture and I believe that some deaths in training or warfare may be desireable.

I'm curious what 35% of y'all think should be done, to instill virtue in young men. Image
20.2%

Embarrassing

I don't know what sort of "ideal society" has something as destructive as dating apps, but I don't want to live there and neither do you, you're just addicted to easy sex. Image
43.4% of you are in need of a beating.

I doubt it is coincidence that the number of people who approve of social media is almost equal to the number of people who grew up in divorced homes.

Anyway, if you think Social Media should be allowed, you're living in a dream world. Image
This question has lots of room for subtlety and "well what-ifs", so I'm very pleased to see that the sensible answer prevailed.

What a silly idea, to separate your nation from God; all it does is hand over the nation to satan Image
"Free Trade" is and always has been a way for the wealthy and corrupt to benefit themselves at the expense of their country men.

I'm glad to see the correct answer prevailed here.

Also, if you're a lolbert, unfollow me Image
I understand the desire for Conquest; you get a pass if you voted for it. Image
17.2% of y'all should be forced to live in the Philidelphia projects until you develop common sense or are murdered by the locals.

Please identify yourselves so I know to never take you seriously. Image
I only hope that 23% of y'all voted no because you don't believe anyone should have a vote Image
I know Westerners have a fetish for democracy, but surely the historical examples demonstrate how easily corrupted it is, by simply voting to expand the license to the unsuited. Image
Cowards Image
There seems to be about 14-15% of y'all who simply DO NOT FUCKING GET IT

You keep voting for the clusterfuck we already have. Why do you want the 90s back, when you can see directly where it leads? Image
This is probably the most radical proposition on the list.

I understand those who voted no, but consider that it might be desireable to limit the ability for any one personally to gain a truly titanic amount of personal wealth, without duties like a king would have. Image
I perhaps should have been more clear, but I still would have hoped you could have a little more foresight than this Image
If you're against this, please explain why? Image
15% yet again

Are you libertarians? Or do you just have yellow fever that intensely?

Either way, you're wrong Image
Not a full 15% this time, but who is really in support of pornography, I'm genuinely curious Image
Yet more cowardice Image
You "hate journalists", yet you vote for freedom of the press?

And how do you square banning pornography with ensuring freedom of the press?

I think you are emotionally bound up in pretty words and not actually thinking, anon Image
I can forgive your optimism, but at the age you should be marrying, your family is collectively far wiser than you are.

You should let them do the heavy lifting. Image
18.4% of you will have grandchildren waving rainbow flags again.

Tolerance is not a virtue. Image
Ahh, the coomer 15 strikes again Image
I don't see how even 7% of you find this controversial Image
This might be a specific religious sect, since the numbers are almost identical Image
44 people had best have a very interesting explanation of this stance. Image
And we're back to the realm of idiocy

How are you supposed to have a society where fucking other men's wives is perfectly legal?

Do 29% of you not understand how Order works? Image
This is the same 29% who think adultery shouldn't be a crime, minus 5% who are pretty confident in their fighting skills. Image
Coomer 15 once again Image
We're going to need a few dozen millstones Image
Accepting that prostitution is impossible to be rid of, I don't run legalizing it is a good idea, but I also know there are arguments that since it will happen, it's best to make it safe and heavily regulated

I still don't like it. Image
A lot of you fail to understand how destabilizing technology is, when it comes to human society. Image
32% of you grew up gated neighborhoods, I think. Image
Vague, and I can see arguments either way, because of course in an ideal society, schools would be ideal too. Image
Let's see what the numbers look like after this next financial crash, when all the blatantly criminal behavior gets exposed and the perpetrators go unpunished

There needs to be a reason to not commit massive fraud. Image
I think you would feel differently if you watched family members die of cancer, while an executive served a five year sentence in a minimum security prison Image
I'm glad to see most of you have the will to fix things, instead of passing your children a rotten inheritance. Image
