Democracy has been exposed. Our response to the pandemic would have been effective if our corporate managerial government had any real power. We needed a leader who makes decisions that mean something. But instead we have a bureaucratic nightmare of career politicians and face-savers jockeying with each other because they're equally as concerned about re-election as they are about managing a national crisis.
So I ask you, would a dictatorship be that bad? Maybe not full authoritarianism, but crisis authoritarianism. We just sit around playing with our dicks while our acronym government sends paperwork back and forth to each other. We need the ability to appoint someone who, for short to intermediate term, has full authority over national and state gov't. I hope this crisis reveals fundamental flaws of Western society in a way that changes it for the better.
"But user, coronavirus is a nothingburger!" But you're wrong. Even if >it's literally just the flu, and it turned out to have a 0.0001% death rate. Our society allowed it to be blown out of proportion to this point, and that in itself is a flaw that must be addressed.
>Would a Dictatorship be that bad? Depends on the dictator.

your candidates are: Bill Gates
choose wisely
Owen Rogers
Very true. Temporary authoritarianism could control for those bad candidates. But I feel that any concrete decision is better than no decision.
David Thompson
Having a leader with a lot of power is great when he is smart, honorable and actually cares about his people and not just himself. There would have to be a very well thought out system to decide who the leader should be in order to keep the risk of corruption at a minimum. There also needs to be a way to remove a corrupt leader. I has a lot of benefits when it is done well, but also risks attached, especially when it is supposed to work over many generations.
Asher Ward
Exactly. 99.9% of would-be dictators are the exact type of people you would never want to be dictator.
Easton Harris
Some people would speculate that living behind the bars of democracy is a greater danger than an honorable ruler.
good job, the romans figured that one out over 2000 years ago
Chase King
I'd rather take my chances with a pandemic every 100 years than deal with an authoritarian government for the rest of my life.
Christian Ortiz
Even if you have a good one, his replacement will most likely be terrible.
Ian Robinson
It's a calculated tyranny. How are people "free" to select their government when all of their decisions are being influenced by mass media. Or in the case of retarded shit like TikTok their decisions are actually made for them by some machine learning algorithm.
Mason Clark
I agree with you. It's not a real democracy in any sense. By definition it's a plutocracy. A shadow oligarchy of people who are so out of touch with the basis of reality and they play their cards so fucking wrong.
Easton Hughes
I'll do it.
Nicholas Morgan
Not a fan of the Bill Gates cope vibe i get from Yas Forums lately. I unironically believe that Bill Gates acts altruistically. Yes he is leveraging his insane amount of money and influence to try and change the world. That's not automatically a bad thing. I think he sees the direction the world is going in and understands that tech will play a pivotal role, and he's trying to drive it in the right direction. I would rather have Bill Gates authoritarianism than international banking "democracy" (shadow authoritarianism).
Eli Bennett
Mass media creates the bubble comfort and creates a false sense of security. People do not realize we are in a constant state of war totally undeclared war.
This is how smart our enemies are. They by passed a country that by any stretch of the imagination should have been under complete lock down by military action and were able to just roll right through with fake paperwork in a cloak and dagger operation.
If this reality doesn't scare you, I don't know what will.
Logan Hernandez
They rolled through with flashing lights to execute people in their beds.
That is the future of warfare.
Adrian Young
Our world is so interconnected now. When Iranian missiles hit, you were able to see where they landed within minutes on twitter..
Anyone watching twitter could have adjusted where those missiles landed and corrected their aim. A world so interconnected, you can have loyalties to another nation while staying in a different one. That is a dangerous world we are entering. The damage will be unfathomable and will most likely take generations to solve it till people wake up. Even the rich people are beginning to realize not even they are safe anymore. When society collapses and breaks down there is no where else to run to. Because the whole world will also go with it.
Mason Wood
I literally can see my western country Canada dissolving into a collapsed state like Mexico if aggressive measures aren't taken.
Justin Harris
Being white is an essential requirement, sorry.
Alexander Foster
Power projection and military intelligence in 2020 is fascinating when compared to tactics used in the 1800s (for example). I try my best to stay whitepilled by the fact that a few button pushes can change the world in seconds but it's hard sometimes. A much softer but related example is the effect Donald Trump's tweets have on the world economy.
Justin Ortiz
People are too comfortable in their own homes. Some things do not effect them directly. The corona virus sorta brought that out into light.. more people die from gang violence and drug overdoses than Corona virus but yet, they don't shut down businesses and streets for that? The damage on society is more or less hard to calculate. However, you now have a entire generation growing up on welfare, drugs and gang violence who have no more loyalties to a state or government. The whole thing is falling apart. You'd have to rally the families of people whos children overdosed and go lobby government and that will take untold number of years before any action is taken when a dictator can simply rid that plague immediately.
>Kys. He was democratically elected retard. no he wasn the fuck you talking about he failed a coup then was put in place a couple years later after backstabbing his supporter he did a pseudo election
t. born immediately after the fall of a (((dictatorship)))
Angel Roberts
Your absolutely wrong. If you looked at the historical dust on how he came to power. Your so wrong on so many levels. That entire country came together to back him and were willing and daring enough to ride with him to the end. Literally choking on their own blood fighting a foreign enemy.
Your an idiot.
Parker Wright
It is always safe if you kill or shit on sociopaths and psychopaths (normies merely follow whoever is puppeting them).
Mason Butler
>You're absolutely wrong. Prove it. What is the Beer Hall Putsch larper? Who is Paul von Hindenburg?
Gavin Sullivan
That entire nation of people invented the rocket, invented assault rifles and revolutionized warfare forever. They were leaps and bounds smarter than you, because they had a sort of pride and strength that will go down in history a thousand years from now.
Without them, mankind wouldn't have touched the moon.
James Sanchez
fuck off reddit
Samuel Walker
Hitler wasn't really a dictator. There were elections and referendums in Germany up until 1938. People weren't locked up for being communist or anything. In fact any poor person was helped during Winterhilfswerk, regardless of party affiliation whatsoever. Germany wasn't all that extreme and so as you people make it out to be. A country needs a strong and strict leader, but that does not make him a dictator.
fuck off retard he was a dictator you can't dance around that fact.. no one even him ever said he wasn a dictator.
Eli Bailey
We don't have a democracy, please stop conflating representative democracies with direct democracy. Representative democracies are oligarchies just like china. Oh look you guys get to vote on if this man who likes to stick his dick in another mans ass hole can get married. This is not a democracy its a fucking joke.
William Reed
That society and sliver.. literally a sliver in human evolution created so much more tech... I wonder why? The V2 rocket. Literally paving the way for smart weapon systems.
wrong, also the 'Bierkellerputsch" is the wrong term, it was named the March on the Feldherrnhalle and it was a peaceful march, the government forces used violence first, no fucking leaf can tell me anything about my country and history
Colton Jackson
Hitler was democratically elected to power. It's what (((they))) fear. People need to have direct democracy its the only way the west should be structured. I don't give a fuck about the federalist papers and all the arguments against it they were wrong. Mob rule is democracy anything else is an oligarchy like china.
Nicholas Miller
so you can prove he was elected chancellor and wasn put in place by Paul von Hindenburg ya? also explain the night of the long knives are German proud about that one too?
Logan Martinez
>Hitler was democratically elected to power. It's what (((they))) fear. No he wasn. You hope he was tho. You don't care about history.
Samuel Sanchez
/thread
Jace Campbell
isn't that basic knowledge? and then the majority of the people voted for Hitler Night of the long knives was necessary because the SA under the leadership of Ernst Röhm, a homosexual communist, were preparing a coup d'etat against the current national socialist government.
>isn't that basic knowledge? dunno that's why you can't find any source not even 1 historian 0 niet nothing also >Night of the long knives was necessary Only a jew would say that backstabbing is a religion for your kind the peoples who helped him gain power and looked him betray the national socialist ideals had to be killed for the great plan right
Nicholas Garcia
nigger you are fucking stupid, you don't know how German politics work >only a jew would say that no, only a jew would say that it wasn't necessary so that the jews ideology could have taken over Germany
Anyone who wonders about dictatorship in this way deserves to be beat by secret police. You might rethink your position.
Adam Jenkins
based!
Hunter Lee
Not if God/Jesus was the dictator.
Aaron Young
>nigger you are fucking stupid, you don't know how German politics work he was appointed not elected cope as hard as you want >no, only a jew would say that it wasn't necessary fuck off Hitler hijacked national-socialism and turned it into a fascist personality cult hell bent into destroying Germany you're a kike or a golem which one is it?
Jeremiah Bailey
lmao yeah that is how German politics work, when you get the majority you still can get appointed! >fuck off ultra cope, you know absolutely nothing of national socialism and German history, fuck off and know your place scum
Jace Diaz
The idiots who do name calling and are incapable of forming rational thoughts are so fucking blind. Its amazing. They literally have it stuck in their brains of what is white and what is black. They cannot see shades of grey. Horrible way to live.
Isaac Powell
We're living in one right now. How do you like it?
Connor Murphy
please teach me senpai I just asked a source how does German politic work? Who is Paul von Hindenburg? Since you like history. Who is Hjalmar Schacht? Help me senpai.
If you're not in love with the military retard, then yes, the dictatorship would be terrible.
I suggest you start your training in countries with forced enlistment then conceive your ideas on how to make a better dictatorship.
I suggest China, not because of the Covid-19.
Liam Brooks
>So I ask you, would a dictatorship be that bad? Maybe not full authoritarianism, but crisis authoritarianism. We just sit around playing with our dicks while our acronym government sends paperwork back and forth to each other. We need the ability to appoint someone who, for short to intermediate term, has full authority over national and state gov't. A classic Roman dictator, eh? The state of emergency functionality takes care of this idea in America, it gives executive branches the ability to pursue policies they wouldn't normally be allowed to pursue, just like a Roman dictator might.
The problem isn't the functionality, the problem isn't even the people, it's the system by which the people get promoted. They save face and shuffle paperwork because taking action is risky and not taking action is generally safe. That promotes a certain kind of person over other kinds of people, and encourages a certain mindset. Legislators are essentially fundraisers by trade and mostly let their assistants/lobbyists do the work of actually drafting legislation. No amount of legal powers would make them good leaders for a crisis, nothing would make them willing to take action at high risk of later culpability just for the good of the people in the here and now. Nothing would give them an instinct of noble sacrifice, of running towards the danger rather than away.
Like consider Captain Sully from that crash landing on the Hudson in 2010. That was a good leader, a man who took unilateral action in a sudden, unexpected situation and saved many lives. But what did our legal system do to him after that, even though not one person died?
It's the classic problem; how do you get good people into positions of power?
Merkel also wasn't elected directly. The party gets elected and then the person that is put forth as the chancellor by that party will be appointed. It's a retarded argument to say "hurr durr Hitler was appointed no ellected". His party was elected and everybody knew that he would get appointed if the party gets enough votes.
Isaiah Ross
>everybody knew that he would get appointed if the party gets enough votes. he wasn the head of the NSDAP at the time no I'm really sorry for you, you genuinely think national-socialism is but one man ideas and represent solely the vision of Hitler. It's sad. Yes Hitler was a great orator. Yes much of his speech are masterpiece whoever wrote them. Facts talk more than words. Look where you are. You're about to make the same mistake.
Jason Brooks
How retarded are you? Most of the election posters straight up said "vote Hitler".
