@Hoorain154 Assuming a ‘then’ separating the two sentences, then the human answer? Her life. Trumpian answer? Her things.

Why did Socrates dislike democracy?

He likened the state to a ship — the uneducated voting in elections is like a ship taken over by a crew with no knowledge of sailing.

Democracies, he thought, are doomed to fail... (thread) 🧵

Many cultures today are organized around d**th, from gun-toting democracies to repressive autocracies asserting identities based on abstract, religious or nationalist grounds. And what of peace? How far would you go for it? Pick up your copy of Nina at https://t.co/QtCn0jFBtZ.

@atensnut From the song “The Drive Thru” …
“He recalled a kid in saggers, barely covering up his rear.
‘What’s he doing up so doggone early?’
And who were those seniors? Why were they still holding hands?
He answered with an urge to hug his bride.”

@atensnut I believe they are called ‘saggers,’ and I agree, it is a mystery.

I've always felt uncomfortable with the unrelenting expectation implicit in nationalism and religion that we must pick one side or the other – either it’s my country or some enemy, it’s my religion or some paganism. The choice is often unfair or morally unreasonable.
