They learned a few things from the Nip invasion and occupation I guess?



Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew was a nasty, vicious dictator.

He caused untold human misery.

I'm talking about actual dictatorship, not people whining because everyone else votes differently to them.


Well, it's a real benign dictatorship

They punish us if we fail to get our names crossed off the roll - that's dictatorial

Who cares if it be nine dictatorships or ten... the question is - 'who guards the guard while the guard robs you daily and beats you while telling you how good it is for you and for society, economy and civilisation'?

The dictatorship of the proletariat - a concept going all the way back to the end of the Roman Republic... and even into the Empire days... give 'em death and short circuits in the Anuseum and you'll soon have their balls in your pocket down at the gender clinic...

Now then - on a MORE serious note for those of you who simply cannot follow reality sent at you cloaked in  hilarity and lyricism....

NO dictatorship, no matter how benign, lasts in that guise for very long.... like any governmental (stress on the last two syllables ) apparatus, it soon becomes frustrated and deems that the only way 'forward' - in their eyes only of course, given that they suddenly realise they hold the power in the land - is to impose on the proletariat in any and every way so as to ensure that the proletariat do not ever rise above their station and actually affect the running of their own country ...

On the micro-scale, you see this clearly in 'modern' Australia, with the steady erosion of power to the people of the people and by the people (such as it was but it WAS developing), it being ambushed and slowly over-ridden by the united front of politician liberation, which incorporates not only elected government (in disguise) but also its bevy of like-minded lackeys and old school mates (etc) in the top public service positions and thus able to make, by decree, those very impositions that 'elected government' cannot make without peril at the ballot box.

FREEEEDOOOM from the will of the people, they cry ......

Look at 'Aboriginal Landovers' ... 61-39 said NO to the agenda.... now behind the people's backs an increasing number of assaults on public ownership of public land are taking place by public service department decree - not least of which is the order to permit access to national parks and such to fall into disrepair, thus keeping the majority out, and then declaring it 'unused national park' ripe for handing over to some sulking brood of flagon drinkers - and then proceeding with this travesty despite the objections of the majority.  Any approach to 'the Minister' is met with - "Oh - that's a PS responsibility, not mine."  Any approach to the department is met with - "Oh - this is in complete accord with Cabinet and full government policy - we are but the messengers (of death to your rights)".

If that ain't the REAL Neo-Fascism taking over this country - not your twenty or so masked men in black - then what is?

And if that isn't NON-benign dictatorship - but instead dictatorship of the lowest kind involving outright theft of rights and such of the majority of ordinary people .... I don't know what is.  It even has its own KristallNachts against those who are not given accredited victim status or accredited sensitivity status...  e.g. - Australia's Jewish population is doing all right .. our poor Mussos intruding groups are all sensitive....let them give the Jewish population a bit of a roasting.... get stuck into women wanting toilets and change rooms for their daughters protected... someone might be 'hurt' and 'need a safe space' if women are allowed that....

WTF is wrong with you people?  Is it the water?  Is someone slipping something into your pills prescribed for your fanciful PTSD at the drop of a hat - the dread Placebo?  Is it the female hormones in beef etc infecting the minds of young kids and sending them to the butcher's shops in a lemming wave of intoxication with Testicle Of Youth...an entire generation sent to the slaughter?

If it is not the water - why then are different states, different towns, different cities, suffering from such a wide range of delusional behaviour - and all different?  Thank Dog for tank water.....

Keep ignoring it at your peril.

We live in a dictatorship because we have compulsory voting?

freediver,

A benign dictatorship is benign.      [.......it would be directed, by benign persons.]

What could possibly go wrong ?
/sarc off

benign = = kindly


e.g.
Venezuela's Maduro, is a benign dictator.    .....isn't he ?

And Russia's Putin too.       Publicly, they all claim to be 'building a better world'
....for all those who obey, and love, and trust them.

And Mugabe [deceased] too, what a deliverer of 'healing' for the Zimbabwean nation, he promised to be.
[......in the end, it is claimed that as their 'reward', he chose to feed many of his critics/opponents to local river crocodiles.]


Benign or not, after a taste of power,   ....don't/wouldn't 'benign' dictators [even those with the best of intentions] always morph into their worst 'type' ?


.


KJV
Habakkuk 1:1
The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.
2  O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!
3  Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.
4  Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.



QUESTION;
Can men, 'save themselves',   .....from their own nature [.....to desire to do, what they know, is not correct] ?

We could choose a better path.

'Seek and ye shall find.'

No, it isn't.
