What's that got to do with it? Your system isn't
freedom it's mob rule. The mob decides what gets
voted on, the mob decides what limits there are on
what gets voted on, the mob decides when to discard
the limits on what gets voted on, the mob votes, the
mob decides everything.
In any case some systems tend to reward friendliness,
pleasantness, justice and fairness. Yours on the other
hand does not. There is really no penalty for being bad
in your system at all.
