nobody should care what the "authorities" that control your morning do.
That's not at all what I'm saying.
Let's try this. Go to the website:
https://native-land.ca/
In the upper left hand corner of the page, click Treaties. Start scrolling. It's endless. Many of the treaties overlap other treaties, claims, agreements in such a way that it's impossible to untangle. Any group could come together and put forward arguments for any of the affected indigenous tribes just as Dr. de Zayas, Dr. Sai and Jen Ruggles have done for the Hawaiian Kingdom.
Do any of those treaties have an expiration date? Could they all be in affect at the same time? What would it take to decide which ones are still legal, superseding the others? Which court?
If a parcel o' rogues overthrow your government, who gives a rat's ass?
I would. It's been said:
Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.
I agree. Even rogues of democracy are better than rogues in other forms of authority. With democracy, and patience, at least you have a chance to get rid of them, eventually. Usually in less time and with less disruption than would be necessary for a tyrant and dictator.
