⚠️⚠️⚠️Before you say, that this is a strawman, Don orget, that average street preacher will point to a tree and tell you to your face, that it's a proof of god.⚠️⚠️⚠️

This is a paradox, that comes from the two supposed properties of God.
1) He's all powerful
2) He's all good.

So, to solve this paradox, you have to do one of 4 things.
1) reduce his power > He's not the god described
2) Say, He's not all good > he's not the god described
3) Say, these 2 properties cannot coexist with existence of described god
4) Suggest, that his good morality has a higher priority, then removal of all suffering. But this is not a convention that 99 percent of the population is capable of. It is beyond their intellectual capabilities.

Look at the vax debate for example. Once on one hand there was a micro chance of death, they were willing to throw away literally all of their freedoms, and they thought it was in fact moral. So, good luck introducing that concept to the masses. :blobbyebrows:

Skyrim modding scene broke this for me entirely, since there are no "young" women in Skyrim. There are some kids, but after that, all other look 40+.

We live in here under a government made out of 5 different parties, and while each of them is "just bad", through the power of "compromise", somehow, they did end up being the most liberal government we ever had...

And economy looks accordingly :blobcatnotlikethis:

Electing somebody who is POWERFUL is actually not a bad strategy.

It's the devil you know vs. the devil you don't. If you elect someone with no real power in the business world, you're not really electing him, you're electing the person/people who control him.

If you believe Joe Biden is the top of the American administrative power structure, I got a bridge to sell you.

The oligarchy likes it that way because they can roll out one puppet after another and make all of the real decisions amongst themselves behind closed doors.

Hence the revolving door of weirdos and nobodies you see "leading" in western countries.

But when you start electing people who HAVE power, then there's no reason for them to follow the oligarchy's orders. They are the guy in the seat, so they can put pressure on the oligarchy.

The best move is to elect individual members of the ruling oligarchy, because every time one of them gains power over the others, the oligarchy as a whole becomes weaker.
