Strange women laying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government

Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not some farcical aquatic ceremony

You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart lobbed a sword at you.

Why are so many absurd Money Python bits edit: about social justice issues set in the Middle Ages or Bronze Age Middle East still so relevant in 2024?

[-] ForgotAboutDre@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

The middle aged are the foundation of our modern culture and societies. At least ones we have very good records of.

[-] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Fair, but I just meant "Why are we still fighting the same battles for social justice and cultural progress as they were fighting 50 years ago, 1000 years ago, and 2000 years ago?"

Because evil happens -> people stop the evil -> people are happy for while -> people start forgetting about how bad it was -> evil starts happening again

Those that don't know history are doomed to repeat it

I think that's pretty dismissive of the real problem. The real problem is that we (humanity) have a large portion of our population actively working to promote regressive and/or outright oppressive ideologies.

Because, IMHO, people forgot how bad those regressive tendencies since its been too good for too long unfortunately
