Why do people on this board support dictatorships despite the fact that democracies have been shown to be better in every single way, from standard of living to even waging war?
>inb4 democracy always devolves into a dictatorship And bread eventually turns to mold, doesn't mean that mold is better than bread. The argument is not even true anyway
What about the unconsciousness of the germans that didn't like Hitler and didn't want him in power? They don't count as 'real' germans?
Hudson Long
>it commited suicide weak and pathetic, embarrassing
Christian Morris
They were a minority, a Democracy is the voice of the People and what if the People genuinely want something inmoral?

Republics are fake and gay. Strong autocracy is the only way to prevent your society from becoming infested and subverted by alien parasites. bitchute.com/video/KkgShHwD1UE7/
>Why do people on this board support dictatorships despite the fact that democracies have been shown to be better in every single way, from standard of living to even waging war? False consciousness arising from their own economic status and aspirations under late capitalism. Rest assured, user, for democracy of the workers always triumphs in the end.
Republics have shown themselves to be hilariously incompetent at dealing with internal turmoil
Jason Scott
>dealing The word is "solving". Republics are very good at stability, compromise, and kicking the can down the road, otherwise.
Did they actually do anything to remove him from power? Or just tacitly accepted it, only resisting when it was safe to do so, and when Red Army marched into their borders, acted like they never sieg'd in their lives?
Cameron Gutierrez
They've probably never lived in a dictatorship.
Cooper Brown
Somehow Finland hasn't turned into a dictatorship.
Jeremiah Perry
They want a big strong Daddy because they have daddy issues.
Joshua Hughes
No, the Nazis got 30% of the last election in Germany.
Carter Watson
>collapses under its own weight in less than a hundred years Heh, nothin personell tovarisch
Noah Walker
hmmm it's almost as if the board culture is based around rhetorically shallow, undebatable ideas pushed by semi-literate, tinfoil hat-wearing shut-ins
Elijah Brooks
>Finland Finland was under the thumb of the Soviets while larping as independent for decades user. Their freedom and democracy despite older pretenses to the contrary isn't even 30 years old yet.
Aaron Gray
Democracy is literally the worst political system created. You've got a mass of sheep guided by deceiving liers deciding for the future of everyone else. And even then you have the delusion that you actually contributed with your vote while you get the same outcome.
Luke Richardson
>You've got a mass of sheep guided by deceiving liers deciding for the future of everyone else. >And even then you have the delusion that you actually contributed with your vote while you get the same outcome. These are mutually exclusive. Either your vote counts and the "mass of sheep" is what decides the future or it doesn't count and the mass of sheep isn't part of the decision making process.
Aaron Wright
Because surely, this dictatorship will benefit me more than others.
Hunter Evans
>wanting a strong and effective leadership means you have daddy issues this is the best argument democrats have
Jason Peterson
democracy is the best because of those 2 principles: >1. ruling elite of a state under any political system works to benefit themselves >2. prosperity and freedom of the general population are important
obviously if you don't believe in #2 then democracy is not the best
Robert King
You get the delusion that it counts, it doesn't. And even if it did count, how do you downgrade the righteous, the scientists, the geniuses and give them same voting rights as the criminal, the scum, the drug addicts, the hookers. Quality is defined by the majority, the mass, by their mere numerical superiority and nothing else. Why would 10 illiterates be right on an economical matter and 3 economists wrong? Simply because the 10 outnumber the 3?
Aaron Ross
>how do you downgrade the righteous, the scientists, the geniuses and give them same voting rights as the criminal, the scum, the drug addicts, the hookers. That's a good question that no system has been able to solve since the beginning of mankind.
Tyler Myers
Aristocracy should be the way to go. You get the best and most qualified people of a specific branch, say farmers get nomiated to run the country's argiculture, doctors the medical system, generals the ministry of defense etc. That way you don't have a degenerate running things he knows nothing about.
Andrew Young
>That way you don't have a degenerate running things he knows nothing about not foolproof
who are Nicholas II Charles II Mao Hitler Mussolini King Louis
Do you need more examples
Tyler Butler
Switzerland
Nicholas Sanchez
I think you mean meritocracy user
Switzerland is almost purely run by its large intrusive banking class
Caleb Cooper
You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about In Switzerland there's no such thing as "career politician", a literal farmer from bumfuck nowhere can become (and has happened many times in recent swiss history) an influential member of parliament Referendums and popular initiatives make it so that the people can actually direclty modify the constitution and laws in a way that no political party or lobby can prevent it
William Nguyen
Buddy their Chancellor has been a politician since 2002 and their council President since 1981. You don't need to fucking lie on the internet to look cool.
Jayden Lee
Once again, you have no idea what you are talking about, just googling shit on the fly doesn't make yo any good Career politician is someone who's primary source of income is his job as a politician In pretty much all other western countries, if you are a member of parliament, that is going to be your sole occupation In the swiss parliament, long, periodical holydays are scheduled so that its members can attend to their actual jobs This has nothing to do with a person being able to keep their job as a politician for a long time
Camden Clark
>Career politician is someone who's primary source of income is his job as a politician The council president never held down a job outside of politics. She literally entered politics at 21. Her "professional career" was her being appointed president of a company after being a politician for nearly 20 years. Why are you lying on an anonymous image board?
Nathan Reed
That's simply due to her coming from an affluent family that could sustain her non-working life
Samuel Perry
Sounds like some cope there user, you okay?
Leo Taylor
>buzzword how tiring
Isaac Gomez
It's okay dude, you lied on the internet and got btfo. Your country does have career politicians and they do pull serious strings, even being elected to the highest tiers of your government. Happens to literally every country. You don't need to cope, just accept it and move on.
Parker Miller
string pulling is obviously going to happen in any country Rats are gonna be rats But no matter how many strings you pull, we managed to do de-facto unconstitutional things such as forbid the building of new mosques or limiting free movement within our (Schengen) borders
