> And all he'll need to do is give us "permission" to act There was a moment or two in 2017 - 2018 where Trump could have said the word and his loyal, armed minions would have swarmed Washington like ants on a picnic. It really is that simple, isn’t it?
@petra@thefinn@wingedhussar@Escoffier@sickburnbro We're at that point, right now. A Voice, declaring that We Do Not Have To Live Like This, and granting us permission to do what we all want to do?
That man's name will live on throughout history, as Ivan, or Khan, or Caesar. He will be remembered as a Great Savior of His People.
And all he'll need to do is give us "permission" to act. Nothing more.
@thefinn@wingedhussar@Escoffier@sickburnbro The argument itself is stupid and ignores history. The one thing all Kings feared was being murdered. They walked a line. They needed to make ALL of their people happy-enough that Kill The King was not preferable.
Because in-real-life, time and time again, when the people got sick of the current King, they just killed him and got a new one.
If the King is able to order the death of an entire group within his realm, and his people comply and kill that entire group, it's because they all really, really hated that group and wanted them all dead. The King merely represented their pre-existing Will. He gave them permission to do what they all wanted to do.
If he ordered his people to kill the one group everyone loved the most, those same "beloved subjects" would immediately and without hesitation, kill the King.
"NEXT"
The King that lives a long life is the one who knows how to act on what the people want.
Bureaucracies are successful in doing the opposite because there's no one directly responsible that can be killed. People didn't want to believe that the "Deep State" was literally every single person employed by the Federal Government in Washington D.C.
"What, are you going to kill a half million office workers? That's just crazytalk."
And that's how bureaucracies ensure nothing ever changes.
@thefinn@Escoffier@sickburnbro You gotta be retarded if you believe in that. There's tiers of rules, tiers of justice. Our current system is worse than any monarchy or authoritarianism because its telling you it's not.
@Escoffier@NoDoxGregBrady@The_Grand_Pooh_Bah@KirstyCotton@thefinn@wingedhussar@sickburnbro Also, some elites will see the change coming and try to coat tail it, at least partially, as a hedge. At some point for someone on the rise they will decide to throw all in. The one on the rise would know this and have to deal with them eventually. Either decisively or in compromise. Either way, it's just another rotation of elites. But they may be OUR elites for change.
No one with that ability, meaning power, will be let anywhere near a position of real influence. They will be sabotaged or sidelined by a multitude of methods before that would happen.
Yet throughout history one always gets through. Always.
@NoDoxGregBrady@petra@KirstyCotton@thefinn@wingedhussar@Escoffier@sickburnbro >Oliver says that he was shocked how people reacted to him playing the character of Hitler. He says that people almost used him as a psychiatrist telling him their woes and feelings and telling him things they wouldn’t tell someone who was normal.
@sickburnbro Benevolent Fascism is one way to cut through the bureaucracy and make the trains run on time. Race based National Socialism can do the same but with better transition potential with leadership.
