A fatuous, almost childlike twisting of arguments made about two completely separate subjects into a misrepresentative statement that you present to advance your bizarre view of me as some kind of fascist while dodging the discussion at hand. I can't believe we've spent a whole page discussing an aside in which I postulated that there might be science fiction solutions to government - which I obviously wouldn't implement if they were authoritarian or oppressive - with the goal of demonstrating that I'm, what, a tyrant? It's ridiculous but you keep coming back to it because you have nothing else. No arguments, no reasoning, nothing to say for yourself.

Maybe you'd realise that all your arguments come down to "but my sovereignty
" with complete ignorance and almost offensive dismissal of the practical consequences of your point of view. You're unwilling to discuss human rights, standards of living, the economy, employment, foreign policy, international collaboration, our future trade deals, the rise of racism, real authoritarianism on the rise right now -- because when you went to the ballot box and cast your vote you decided that you were above those petty concerns. The glorious moral principle is more important to you than the real misery - yes, misery - your vote will cause to actual human beings you share this country with.
That's why I want you to justify yourself. No, you're right, you don't
have to, you're
allowed to post whatever you want, but I'm also
allowed to keep badgering you for a response that I think is important.
