Results of the Survey :

Of the 1,201 responses received, we as a community have democratically decided that we should not change the name from PC Master Race. I am grateful to our community for your input, as this was a difficult topic to navigate together.

If you would like to review the history of this, please check out this post here: https://lemmy.world/post/1430610

We’ll pin this post for some time and then consider adding a bullet into the sidebar for this Community to help stave off further discussions around this topic as the community has already decided collectively.

Kind regards,

    Also, the purpose of the government is to protect the minority from the majority. Just saying

      Wrong. The purpose of the government is to protect you from other governments. It’s an extortion scheme but the devil you know is the better than the one you dont…

      Also changes in ruling powers are usually bloody so the government exists to prevent that as well.

        I’m just gonna link to the Wikipedia page for government. That way every position is covered and we can save ourselves from the inevitable slap fight when people can’t accept that their interpretation of the “purpose” of government are just interpretations and almost everyone has a different one

      In theory but since most countries have majority rule voting this is rarely the case.

      Things like gay marriage weren’t made legal until most of the country supported it already. Otherwise they’d lose too many votes.
