Unanimous consent is impossible in any democracy. No vote on anything voted upon ever yielded unanimous consent, except in minuscule groups who have their own agenda. Votes determine what the majority concludes. Those not in favour have to live with it and accept it as democracy for good or ill as understood in its origins by the ancient Athenians whose population was far less than most modern small cities!henry quirk wrote: ↑Wed Nov 24, 2021 3:16 am Unanimous consent? If that is what freedom means to you, you have lost your fucking mind.
No, that's not *freedom: it is, however, the only form of democracy worth a good goddamn.
*not that it matters to you
If democracy depended on unanimity instead of majority, it would be impossible for it to exist, since that would imply the requirement of a single affirmation for thousands or millions of individual votes. The only time democracy equals unanimity may be within businesses and corporations where concord without exceptions is mandated to endorse a plan of action.
Unanimity, whether in large or small groups, strives mostly toward totalitarianism by disenfranchising those not considered orthodox enough.
