      > in this subthread we are talking about republics which you are keen to mention china isn't This subthread is part of the broader discussion. There are lots of Reddit corners for debating whether America is a republic. I haven’t seen any novel arguments in a while. The argument for whether an American AI is useful out of an American republic, its dying republic or even its embers is the germane one here, and I think it speaks decisively in favor against the one that’s proudly autocratic without organized dissent.

            You started the sideline by diverging from another sideline. You are just wiggling around in all your discussions.
