    People need leadership, or they will fall apart into weak groups.

    You are on lemmy, a decentralized and open source platform that has no central authority or leaders talking in a sub that expose mods power tripping. You may believe leadership is needed because historically we always had one but this is a wrong conclusion, history is plagued with wars and atrocities this doesn’t mean those are necessary. Leadership got forced on people through emperors, kings, dictators and even these days in our so fair “democracies” the government has to resolve daily to political repression and violence to keep his grip on power.

    If the people truely feel opressed, whats stopping then from overthrowing the government?

    Trillions spent to empower the government under the guise of security to the point where they are able to tap every conversation you make.

    Also, you say “why should i go lone wolf and strike them own your own terms” do you really think thats gonna work? If so, why dont you go do it yourself? Whats stopping you? Its not that simple is it?

    Doesn’t seem like the ukrainian government is insterested in striking russian oligarchs chilling in Dubai, perhaps someone may want to do that instead of go to the front and shoot at poor people bribed into war.

      Lemmy isnt being invaded and its users arent being murdered and their homes razed. Is absolutely ridiculous to even compare the two things.

      Also, attacking another nation despite hosting your enemy is an act of war… do you really think it is wise to provoke other nations while already struggling?

        It’s not a comparison is an example of a system that does not rely on central authority

          Indeed it is. Just like hows the 195 countries is an example of a system that does not rely on central authority…
