>Absolute power doesnt corrupt, actually.
Thoughts on this?
>>
he's right. there's been thousands of monarchs across thousands of nations in thousands of years and the average person can name all the ones they know on one hand because they're tyrants who made the history books. but the rest of them just quietly ran their countries and became footnotes in history for it

friedrich was a gay who ruined prussia. he's only depicted positively in history because he was in favor of enlightment and humanism (jewish naturalization in european society)

I think this guy's physiognomy precludes him from deserving power of any sort.

Didn't watch the video but it seems obvious.
A powerless individual will succumb to corruption for a mere aftertaste of power.
But why would someone with absolute power compromise himself and his ideas? For what?

these guys… yarvin types, BAP types.. you know, the intellectuals are “cool” and edgy, but impotent and will never have any real influence outside of their small group of intelligentsia. it’s funny to watch them whine on X when young normie political figures get more attention than they do.

Way it seems is those often born to power either aren't corrupt or don't give a shit.
Look at Charles I, the fucker was so sure of his god-given right to be a twat that he had to be beheaded for it.
If he was corrupt he would have just stolen from every side, instead of forcing parliament to make a law banning armour in parliament.

Absolute power does not corrupt. It amplifies. Even if you are 99% perfect but cheat at that 1%. You will get a shit cake.

Let me explain.

This is the "Cake Theory" of political virtuosity.

You have a chocolate cake.
Would you eat it?
Most people would say "Yes".

Now. Imagine if that cake is 99% chocolate, but 1% shit. Looks all the same, brown, but you know there is shit inside it.

Would you still eat that cake then?

Few would wage "Yes", but even then, some have an "acceptable level" of shit in their cake.

So the question becomes.

"Who has the cleanest cake?"

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Benevolent despotic rule is the best form of governance. Certainly the despot needs to qualify for it, but it is better than different people going for power grabs/not actually giving a shit about the nation

"Absolute" power implies there's no real room for expansion

>>520263916
There's no such thing as absolute power. Even most dictatorial leaders must keep their tools to power happy to retain the position. That's what corrupts.
>>
>>520264173
I will let you in on a little secret. There is a man, more like a monster to be honest, who never let go. He maintains politics like his own personal circa, so he can ruminate and watch while he laughs at the clowns who think they can raise up the world upon their shoulders. He does so, because he can, because he noticed that some of the people below, were demoralised at the fact their ideas were not being heard, and so he gives people a chance, but if he ever decides to move. The world will move with Him. What better way to hide a giant, than in plain sight.

pretty good counterargument to yarvin actually

like if you give in to his idea that there should be a monarch, okay, who's the monarch? elon probably? no thanks.

Everybody who had a same sex friend is gay according to woke historians.

IMO not even Alan Turing is gay. It was some MI6 plot to falsely accuse him of being gay to discredit him for trying to act like Julian Assange. And when the medicines to wipe his brains didnt work he committed suicide.

When their power is slipping. Being an absolute ruler doesn't mean you will get it. There will always be rebels, which you would need to make examples of, otherwise they will continue to do it to show you don't have absolute power.
>>
>>520264257
doesn't Yarvin say that oligarchy is what we currently have, that needs to be switched to monarchy? Meaning it's not "tech oligarchs" that need to be given power to be shared between them, but rather a tech monarch. As in ONE person.
>>
>>520263916
agree and disagree, it amplifies what's already within a person, which is why good upbringing is important for future leaders, but then i disagree cause even a humble leader is on the risk of succumbing

>>520263916
A man is either good or he is evil. This distinction is made prior to birth. There are no conditions which would make a good man turn evil, likewise there are no conditions which will make an evil man turn good. Have you ever seen or heard of a good man, when confronted with any circumstance (say starvation), becoming a conman? The closest example we have is slavs turning into modern barabarians when their society broke, but since when are slavs not biased toward being corrupt?

The very idea that absolute power corrupts absolutely is rooted in commie bullshit "its evil to deal harshly with communists and other dregs", "rectifying societal woes makes you a tyrant", etc. Theres some good examples of that from rome, I dont remember their names but there were some roman leaders who did great things and lead rome to better prosperity while fixing the societal cracks that had emerged due to the aristocracy being subversive. But if you read up on them you'll read all about what an evil, paranoid tyrant they were! Often those charges not originating at any point contemporary to the leaders life, unless it was from political opponents trying to character assassinate.

The big problem with good and evil is that good men are easily convinced that it is not good to destroy evil, "because destruction is evil", when to the contrary allowing evil is what is not good.
>>
>>520272411
>a humble leader
when has there been one? Thats the other part of the issue, good men do not seek positions of power. The few times a good man has come to power it was as a consequence of him trying to do something other than directly seeking power.
>>
>the monarch isn't the source of the corruption
they never tell you what is then

>Benevolent despotic rule is the best form of governance

Sortition would be the best form of governance but good luck getting a nation state to implement it.

But enough about Yarvin
>>
>>520263916
Curtis Yarvin is jewish and thus, all of his opinions can be summarily dismissed.

He's a kike in it for kikes and will say anything to keep kikes in power.
>>
>>520263916
Everything and its opposite is honorarily false at the moment of utterance from the mere fact Curtis the Jew affirms it.
One of the most annoying self shilling midwit to have un-graced the clown show of political intellectuals. Ben Shapiro with an edgier esthetics.

>>520264447
The (((cathedral))) to hide the fact that calling it the synagogue would have been far more cogent. Once again pure talmudic pilpul from manipulation of vocabulary alone.

It's awful. Rule: never quote him, never discuss his takes, simply ignore him.

Sure it doesn't, that's just democrat propaganda.
However, Frederick the Great is a pretty shit example, his reign is one of the reasons Germany has so many problems today.

Also freemason, started islamisation etc.

there has never been a son of Adam with absolute power so this is a nonsense discussion, like most of yarvin's schlock

Yarvin is some contrarian kike faggot. Nobody should take anything he says seriously.

Nah the soviets are pretty aware of what they do.
The Nazis were mostly idealists and had no bad intentions, but that also means they weren't tough enough for what would invartiably happen.

Biblically speaking, no leader, prophet or other, even just short-term judge, has survived the ability to have power over a group. Almost all have upset God after some time, save maybe Samuel, and suffered either a curse or abandonment for it. Jonah made God so mad he called him faithless just for wanting some niggers to get killed.

It's him that I dislike. And if a jew's mouth is moving, he's lying. You're a fool if you believe anything they say. They might accidentally tell the truth every now and then but even when they do, it's a "work". They're doing it to lead you to some conclusion that's good for them and bad for you.

>>520263916
Well, I would say that power that is secure in its rights is safest. What is undeniably true is that the system we have now certainly corrupts. With the government of every non-shithole country actively harming their resident population through mass immigration, can we really say that the ideas of the Enlightenment were a success for man? Is this what 'checks and balances', 'the social contract', 'consent of the governed' etc etc yields us? If so then something is rotten to the heart of this ignominious creed.

You will find that all of the 'absolutist' European rulers flirted heavily with Enlightenment idiocy. I would say that Friedrich was not the worst offender in this regard.

Because JD Vance said he likes him while he was campaigning for VP and he was slush funded by Peter Thiel who is friends with Yarvin and funds him. The three of them are working to protect and secure the finance industry's future as still immensely profitable and untouchable while the country sinks because of them.
>>
I doubt he has as much experience with absolute power as me.

Don’t take e-celebs seriously. Drama is their business model. They’re the modern version of tabloid opinion columnists—loud, opinionated, melodramatic and shallow. They’re not thinkers or sages; they’re grifters chasing clicks.

ease off on the tubes and start reading books written by people of real intellect. yarvin, peterson, BAP, Carl Benjamin, Molyneux are all narcisisitc frauds.

You are not going to gain an understanding of the corrupting influence of power in a 50 minute yootoob video. Stop being lazy.
