If workplace despotism is so great then why don't we go back to feudalism with billionaires as our rulers? ๐Ÿ™„

I know your intent, but damn, the way you arranged the meme, it's more like it's advocating against people being able to manage anything, instead of against despotism...

Maybe the order of the top vs bottom sentences should be reversed, or another format be used entirely, dunno. It's weird.

Theoretically, there's institutions to stop the president to fuck all. The president of a private company (i mean a not public traded company) can do whatever the fuck he wants.

You don't govern the country through voting, you just choose what mask the politics wears while it fucks you up the ass

Ironically it was supposed to prevent idiots from electing someone like Trump.

It's because their intent is to make elections look like a sham.

Youโ€™re arguing against a position that nobody holds. Stupid conservatives also constantly fuck with the voting system.
