Doesnât mean the majority knows whatâs good for them. Imho the only reason peopleâd vote fascist is because they think -they- will become the top of the foodchain⌠only to then find out things got worse and theyâll be the ones crying loudest âHow could this have happened?!â

Given the US is currently going Through The Motions like itâs the 1930s in central Europe, we may very well find out.
If I were a betting man, Iâd be wagering on us seeing the âTrump Youthâ be a real and horrifying thing within three months. Tops.
If I wasnât absolutely set on staying alive out of spite, Iâd be taking up drinkingâŚ
You know whatâs bonkers to see, right now?
Some Furries - you know, who The Usual Sorts love to meme about and make cruddy animated videos about Black Templar Space Marines ripping them apart in droves of badly done swathes of gratuitious âcartoonâ violence? Yeah - seeing them vote for this insanity. And using all the language and terminology, as if that wouldnât in a heartbeat get turned on them. And then they will, genuinely and earnestly, be utterly shocked that itâs their face getting eaten by the tigers.
Can feel myself going a little bit insane-r this weekâŚ

True.
But who does, then? The PM in South Korea just recently thought that he was the man who knew what had to be done. Didnât go so well with him.
IGN trying to frame the Bioware layoffs as if those laid off left voluntarily is really vile actually
I also loudly mew when something doesnât go my way, I get it typhon
Watch out their on a mewing streak!
Same with Puerto Ricans voting for him after the whole âcomedyâ indicent. Or a friend of mine whoâs part Latina that voted for him.
Apparently Americans are willing to tolerate -alot- if they think it will bring change and they will benefit from it, thatâs what Iâve learned.
I do have to admit⌠the flashgitz videos -were- funny, and the furries do get plenty of payback in later videos too.
Can do nothing but endure I fear, and rigorously regulate your media-intake.
Iâll give you that, so far I am not exactly impressed with most of the politicians of the current generation. Either they try to rule through the old âMe strong man/skirting-close-to-autocrat/sometimes fullblown autocratâ approach, -or- they let things get so out of hand -that- the people somehow think " Ah yes, strong man guud".
Like, I will never, -ever-, try to excuse the wannabe-autocrat types, but our other politicians -do- have work to do, and have to do it quickly, if they want the common people to trust them again over the would-be autocrats.

wasn;t even not getting his way, just I didnât get out of my chair fast enough to feed him.
that is also usually when I mew, too
Actually feel like ragequitting trying to build this damn Warhammer: The Old World Grudgethrower.
Itâs a metal kit, so I thought it would be sturdy - WRONG. One bit was damaged/cracked in the pack, and now another is showing the same hairline stress-crack while Iâm trying to wrangle it all together. Because NONE of the parts line up properly, and because of that the glue isnât biting properly, so while Iâm trying to get one part to line up the OTHER part is now working the incomplete glue bond loose, and-
I just might dump this from my WIP army list and stick with the cannon. Cos thatâs plastic, and has been sat happily finished and sub-assemblied, ready for painting, on my shelf for quite some time!
Iâd even take a Forgeworld Resin kit over this, right now⌠good grief⌠._.
This is a video games forum, none of us have the answer to the question of âhow do we solve the problems of democracyâ because if we did, weâd be out there winning Nobel Peace Prizes instead of nattering on here.
But in my opinion, the answer to populism is a larger judiciary with greater powers, unelected justices with life tenure capable of overturning legislature and executive orders alike. There need to be enough of them and appointed in such a way that a recently elected executive and/or legislature would find it difficult to enact radical change.
The issue with this is that only the status quo benefits, as such a judiciary would likely veto all radical change, no matter where it comes from on the political spectrum. Dramatic change would only be possible if the executive, legislative and judicial branches were all working together, as is the case under Donald Trump in the USA right now. He really got lucky, being able to reappoint a third of the Supreme Court in a single term.

For a nation that doesnât shut up about âoverthrowing the Crownâ, they sure did then proceed to cram their entire foot into their mouth with Presidenial picked Justices for Life. Which, based on current evidence, is so much worseâŚ

I mean, unelected officials like justices are supposed to be a very important safeguard against populism and the sort of stuff happening right now. It just so happens that the US system failed at a very unfortunate point in time, due to a number of flaws in the system, the rules being bent a little, two very important old people dying and a third retiring.

One often overlooked aspect to take into account is that for a lot of people with latino ancestry/parents/grandparents/whatever you want to call it that live in the states, socialism and anything approaching it is deeply rooted as heinously evil and not without reason due to the history of socialism being a banner word for just about every dictatorship that have plagued Latin America for most of the modern age.

Yet to dare the fates and get a metal miniature myself but I have heard repeatedly said that Pinning can help immensely when it comes to assembling metal models. - So if you are handy with a drill it might be the way to go.
