    Yes, we can say that it happens almost every time

    …Never seen someone just straight up admit that they were bullshitting. Props to you. Just to be clear - you do realise that the thing that “happens every time” is people claiming not to be married to the idea of society being led by an individual, then going on to argue that this is the only way?

    You realise that, right?

    You are arguing against a very obvious fact of life

    A father is a leader to his family

    Citation needed.

    A teacher has authority in the classroom

    Citation needed.

    An employer has authority in the workspace

    Citation needed.

    I’m getting bored of saying this over and over. Just apply it to the whole comment.

    If you are a functioning member of society, you will have a leadership role over someone, and you yourself will have leaders

    I suppose I’m not functional, then, because I do not “lead” anyone, not am I “led” by anyone. Stop projecting your opinions on to society at large - you’ll find that your opinion is just that; an opinion. Not a fact.

      There are no problems with power structures per say, not only that, (yes) they are necessary. As long as those given power do not abuse it, there are no problems. I also never claimed to believe that society should be at the hands of one individual and their whims and desires. These two things do not contradict one another.

      Secondly, the only one here bullshitting is you, and I will tell you why.

      So you are telling me, that as an employee, you can do whatever you want at work or even not show up at all, because you have no authorities above you? Or even better, maybe you think that when you are fulfilling your duties at work, you do so purely because you are interested in doing so. Not because you have to earn your salary, which you then must use to pay for your home and put food on the table in order to live. Come on.
