That technically true but we always kind do live in a tyrannical oligarchy . It’s kinda always been that way.

So to be clear I understand what and why you are saying. I totally get that.

My choice wasn’t suppose to be taken at face value. It was me expressing the simple fact “Is it an option to not be under an oligarchy? Because I can’t find any place here or in the past that wasn’t a tyrannical oligarchy.

That’s why I said what I said. I understand the point you’re making I just don’t agree.

I’d compare it to

Boss: be at work on Saturday or get fired. What’s your choice?

Employee: that’s a false dillima because I could chose instead to be promoted to your boss

Boss: that’s not going to happen.

Of course there is technically a third option. Quit. But quitting because you’re about to get will be written as “fired “ in the paperwork.

Other options? Yes an infinite amount. But those options aren’t really feasible.
