That's actually kinda cool in a techno dyatopian kinda way.
definitely beats having fascism spread around unchecked (and even encouraged) like us tech companies.
Should openly fascist people be allowed to vote in your opinion? Just curious what peoples' take on this is.
Why should they? As in, materially, how does society benefit from that? How does the democratic decision-making tool become more useful from it? I consider democracy to be a decision-making process, so I don't care for vague idealistic assertions like "every adult should have the right to vote" unless there's a benefit from it. And allowing an explicitly anti-liberal, anti-democratic, bad-faith opportunist (and fascism is explicitly and openly all of those) to vote is harmful to the democratic process and increases the odds of it making a bad decision.
