The literal point of the "checks and balances" in the US constitution was to make it impossible for the popular will to seriously threaten the interests of the upper classes and that anybody is still holding that poo poo up as some kind of gold standard is farcical.

UnknownTarget posted:https://germanystructuralanalysis.weebly.com/government.html I see that being an intellectual heavyweight in your world means posting poo poo about Germany and the EU when we're talking about the US constitution. I suppose one could also point out that plenty of western countries don't actually have a formal separation of powers and still manage to do better than the good ol' USA, but I guess that would be lightweight stuff since it's actually relevant to the discussion. It's also extremely funny to see the same people who are literally arguing that there must be an elite to control the rabble accusing others of being offputting or naive. I'm sure that your average voter will just flock to you once you explain to them that they just have to be ruled by their betters.

UnknownTarget posted:Dialectic != intellectual. Dude, Germany doesn't follow the US model of separation of powers. They have a parliamentary system, i.e. the executive is elected by the legislature and is dependent on the continuing support of the legislature to stay in power. This is the most basic of common knowledge. And the EU isn't even a loving country. Also, generally speaking, given the utter ignorance on display here you don't get to make demands on anyone.
