[OOC] DC Universe: Gods Among Us (Always Open)

<Snipped quote by BlackSam3091>

Well, when you put it that way...

@GreenGrenade

Actually as a limited number of people did get to vote this would be an oligarchy at best.

No matter what we all know communism works best anyways.

[Hillan]

I strongly disagree.

In a communistic society, I couldn't disagree. And that's bad. Very bad.

Which is why Organized Anarchy is the best. No presidents, no agendas, no lobbyists, no religions, no one telling anyone else what to do. Except the unified understanding that thou shall not be a shitty human being.

Boom, mic drop.

Now, back to work away at a character who's only slightly more neurotic than myself.

[Lord Wraith]

@Hillan In all honesty I am totally up for a fascist government or monarchy as opposed to democracy. Democracy works too slow and doesn't even benefit the people.

Anarchy will just lead to Darwinism which depending on perspective is good or bad haha.

[Weird Tales]

I'm for a diverse Authoritarian government run by realists and philosophers. In my government people would have still personal rights and some liberties, but they have no say in the government affairs. Basically the country would be run by different sections of the government and people can only be appointed or apply for government positions, no voting.

[An Outsider]

I think we should have a Necromonger-style 'You keep what you kill' style of government. Whoever's the biggest badass get's to run things. All you meek nerds would be in trouble then.

Dictatorship is the most effective one, look at the Roman empire, or the Franks.
Nazis weren't that effective imo, they were too driven by beliefs.

The average individual is pretty dumb, myself included. I don't know what's best for mankind, odds are that 99.9% of people don't either. In fact, the people are the least qualified ever to decide the fate of their country.

Reason I think organized anarchism is the best is because I despise most authority figures, as most of them think they deserve respect because of their title and not because of their actions. In a OA civilization we wouldn't have to deal with that. People would sort of follow whoever it is that is the brightest, most charismatic person. Not who has the most money in their pocket.

Course, Anarchism can't last forever. It needs to evolve into a civilization again. But it's a reset button for a couple of generations.

@Hillan

Perhaps at first but people I find will eventually flock to wealth as well. With or without a monetary system there is still a system of wealth. whomever has the most food, livestock, weapons etc. Intelligence and charisma may count out the gate but if you don't use that to build power and wealth then there's no point in following someone like that in a land without rule. Simply put there's going to be a dumb person who won't hesitate to shoot before talking.

[Hillan]

Absolutely. But if he shoots before talking in order to live, he's not dumb. Even if his IQ's in the single digits.
Anarchy wouldn't be peaceful. It probably wouldn't even be a happy time. But it would be useful to rebuild and cleanse the shitty systems that are in place today in a world of capitalism.

All one really needs then is a strong leader. A Julius Ceasar. It works in every Comicbook Superman doesn't exist to fuck with Luthor in. Luthor creates a utopia every time.

We need a real life Lex Luthor.

[Lord Wraith]

We had one and the Romans killed him!

On a serious note, for all we know people with the potential to be our world's Luthor have been born and killed throughout history whether because they were feared, weren't given the proper opportunity or simply because they were born in a war torn part of the world and became another statistic.

[Hillan]

Absolutely. But currently the biggest problem in the world isn't really the terrorists, gun control, the Russians or even the nukes.

Biggest problem is the lobbyists who plays for their own agenda. And not in a Illuminati sense.

@Hillan

You used the word 'the' six times in that reply.

Six divided by two is three, and a triangle has three sides.

Illuminati!

But yes you're absolutely right. For the most part we've bred a selfish and self important world meaning most people look out primarily for their own interests first. Hence the reigning capitalism.

[Vandy]

We need a real life Lex Luthor.

@Hillan

Superman would have to disagree with you there...

[Ruby]

Absolutely. But currently the biggest problem in the world isn't really the terrorists, gun control, the Russians or even the nukes.

@Hillan

Almost. Lobbyists represent agendas; they get their marching orders from higher on up. Nothing originates from Lobbyists but schemes on how to turn a Taylor Swift concert into a political fundraising opportunity. Evil as that is, I grant you.

PMed the GM. Considering Wondy. Hi folks!

@Ruby

Does this mean we could get a real Amazon?

[Hillan]

@Vandy

If Smallville is any indication, Clark is more of a psychopath than Lex. Clark's killed more people than Lex in that show. And the only reason Lex goes insane is because Clark drags him down into psychosis.

I mean, sure. Lex did experiment on meteor freaks. But at least he didn't kill most of them, unlike Clark. For someone who gives Oliver a lot of shit for killing Lex, Clark's pretty blood thirsty.

Edit: Also, Hi Ruby!

[Lord Wraith]

@Hillan Citations please?

[Hillan]

@Hillan Citations please?

@Lord Wraith

Meteor Freak who copies people. Clark punches her into a electric fence, she dies on the spot. No reprecussion. The guy who kills meteor freaks is killed by Clark, albeit indirectly. Clark punches everyother meteor freak with what can only be assumed his full force (Same force that allowed him to fling a tractor across all of kansas) And just assumes that said person would survive.

The Clark Luthor verse implies strongly that Lex found out about Clark and was supportive of him, till Clark betrayed him and Lex had to try and stop him and Lionel from ruining the world, as Oliver and Lois Queen didn't seem to have any issue with that verse's Lex.

I could go trolly the Smallville Wiki, but I'll do that later.

Edit: Now that I think about it. Clark didn't purposely kill a lot of people. He did however purposely not save people. He indirectly killed at least four metas from the top of my head. And then he didn't seem burdened by it at all, where as Johnathan dies off his own free will and Clark gets guilt-tripped to hell over it.

@Lord Wraith

I'd customize her a bit, but an Amazon for sure.

@Hillan

Hi! How've you been?

@Hillan

Haha well I never liked Smallville anyway. Couldn't ever get past season one. So in that conversation I have absolutely no input on the matter. Superman doesn't kill people though, stupid tv show...

Yello! Terrible. But I'm making it through. You?

@Vandy

It is forever one of my favorite shows, not because it's good, but because I just like it, there is no objective reason to like it, though. But yeah. Show had waaay too many plot holes for any sane person to enjoy.
