Discord implemented it's newest feature of needing ID verification for everything as well as asking for phone numbers.

This has nothing to do with Instagram, I just want a Discord account with a verified email made BEFORE the company instituted its ID verification policy.

No, I never want to give Discord or any major company my government ID, fuck that.

Starting price is 3 dollars, can be negotiated in DMs

Is it as fascist or authoritarian as say INGSOC from 1984? No, hell no. Most monarchies don't even come close to that.

But what it is — undeniably so — is authoritarian. All power resting in the hands of 1 dude and it gets passed down through the lineage... yeah that is literally just what we'd call a modern day autocratic dictator.

And what sucks is that people nowadays disagree with me when I say this: Monarchism in general is just dictatorships with a fancy bowtie and flowers.

You like it cause you like the aesthetics of knights on horseback, because of princesses in castles, or because its told to you through a history book, and its featured in the setting of practically every single fantasy fiction to exist.

And I'm inclined to agree, monarchism does look cool. It sounds and looks cool. Its always gonna be a staple of fantasy fiction to have kings and queens and I think we should keep it. But to disagree that it wasn't some sort of authoritarian regime that silenced dissent and used artificial myths of being "ordained by God" or whatever is to ignore the truth. It's still an autocratic dictatorship. The only difference is that the dictator wears robes and commands knights and shit, instead of wearing a military vest and commanding their tanks to blow up a rebel base.

My friend and I were debating something in class and we both came to a conclusion that seemed to be very dark but also very true. It's a bit wordy but I'll summarize it like this:

Summarized: Men control most of the worlds armies, hold the majority of positions of power, own most of the money, and rule most of the world. Feminists don't "fight" for their rights, they make the appeal and men simply say "Yes" or "No".

Further explanation:

>There is no war they can fight that they will beat men in. You don't have the armies, you don't have the force to backup the opinion, and you don't have the physical capital to even protect yourself from the opinions of others.

>Case in point: Iranian revolution. As soon as Islam came into power, all the liberalism and freedom and equality of genders got steamrolled over and women could do nothing about it.

>That's what feminism hinges upon:
The "win condition" for feminists isn't "overthrowing" the patriarchy. There is no "overthrowing". It's making men like you enough to give you rights. Because the moment 51% of men think "Damn why do you even have rights?" They get stripped of you very very quickly. And there's nothing you can do about it because men hold a monopoly on violence and the ability to execute violence.

My other classmates think this idea is ridiculous and we don't live in fuckin Warhammer 40K, but they have nothing to prove that my homie and I are wrong. Cause like... when was the last time women fought a big war for their rights? Like yeah you protested and got it? But who signed off on that legislation? Who penned those laws into place?

Like... the more you think about it, the more you realize that "Might makes right" is the only true philosophy in this cruel universe, and if Party A has guns and Party B doesn't, anything and everything Party B does that uppercuts Part A is done because Party A allows it.

What do you people think? Agree or disagree?
