How can anyone who's not in power himself support and defend authoritarian regimes? Don't they realize it's the ultimate cuckery, depriving themselves voluntary of liberty and rights?

>who's not in power himself
It doesn't make sense to support it even IF you're the one in power. The cycle of failed states won't end with the slaves rebelling against the masters, it will end with the masters rebelling against the slaves.

That's why night-watchman states are the best solution
So long as I can live my life in a way favorable to me, my family and friends I don't care about petty bread and circuses like voting and supposed representative officials (who in truth represent their lobbyists).

The stupid mass. Yes. I called it. The mass are fucking stupid. They don't want to hear it, but they need to hear it.
Of the non-mass, they're blinded by ideology, greed, power, etc.

That's exactly the kind of attitude that helps autocracies arise

Universal sufferage has destroyed all value of the vote.
>>2870187
No it didn't, you're just making excuses

Still. I would prefer a long line of enlightened despots who maximize the quality of life for me and my family over liberal republicanism. And I would sacrifice civil liberties I never use anyway for it.

Because the masses are ignorant fools and shouldn't have a role in government.
Because democracy and liberty aren't the same thing and in fact have nothing to do with each other.
Because universal suffrage is a cancer that all but guarantees the rapid demise of the society stupid enough to adopt it.
Because in a democracy he who controls the demography of the voting base, through immigration, emigration, and propaganda controls the society. Its no more free then a dictatorship. If anything it is more deadly, because it is more subtle.

Self-interest is literally a Marxist meme. It doesn't exist in reality, only collective interest.

>Promoting collectivism in the same breath as condemning Marxism
No.
>>2870227
>Marxism
>collectivist
"Kill your masters so you can have more stuff" is the main tenet of Marxism and the pinnacle of selfishness.
>>2870210
too bad "a long line of enlightened despots who maximize the quality of life for me and my family" is impossible.
Still I'm almost inclined to agree with you when I get a jury summons, all that waiting around just to mention jury nullification and get dismissed. 4 days before I was questioned one time.

Individual/Collectivism is a different metric then selfishness/selflessness.
>>2870239
It boils down to people who view society as a living organism, and those whose ideology is a virus wanting to destroy said organism and think heart can function without living brain or vice versa.
>>2870246
No, it boils down to those who recognize that self-interest and group-interest can and must coincide, that law and liberty are both necessary, and that socialists are swine that should be thrown into the ocean.
Saying "Fuck those Marxist Individualists" is like saying "Fuck those Muslim Atheists."
Its a contradiction in terms.
