minus-squarePeggyLouBaldwin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·1 month ago Interesting you ignored the question of how that word could have meaning if it describes all countries if all countries implemented direct democracy, does direct democracy lose its meaning?
minus-squareTrickDacy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down2·1 month agoActually, kind of, yes. Because there wouldn’t need to be a distinction drawn… just how words work.
minus-squarePeggyLouBaldwin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 month agowe are all human but we still have a word for it. you don’t seem to have a good grap of the concept of language.
minus-squareTrickDacy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down2·1 month agoLol nope. The word human exists because other lifeforms do and you need a way to differentiate. Democracy is a word that exists because other governments exist. This is hilarious.
minus-squareTrickDacy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down2·1 month agoYou’re proving my point. You need words to describe things that aren’t obvious or differ from other similar things. And I wouldn’t ridicule you if you weren’t obviously dodging facts.
