You can, I'm just saying anti-theocrat numbers may not be sufficient on their own. @knwledgepursuer
I don't know what you mean. The small number of theocrats we have cld never have power cos ppl don't value them.
To keep theocracy out, we need a majority of people supporting liberal secular democracy.
I guess my hypothesising works better in US, not in Uk. Sorry, should have thought more b4 butting in. @knwledgepursuer
I just don't understand it.I can see that in a crisis secular liberals cld ally with 1 theocracy to stop a worse
But this would still be a problem to be solved &we'd still have to try to make secular liberal democracy dominant
That wanting something & having the numbers to get it are different things. @knwledgepursuer
Sorry, I really feel I've wasted your time. I really should aim to have coherent thoughts before interrupting. @knwledgepursuer
Not at all. I just didn't understand you. I agree that we need to balance pragmatics with principles. :)
