    One in five Britons have never lived under a dictatorship and haven’t got a fucking clue what they’re wishing for.

        The west doesn’t have democracy. We have corporate plutocracy, where the majority of state and federal politicians are pre-screened, pre-approved, and financed by the wealthiest individuals/corporations, domestically.

        Choosing which corporate whore gets elected isn’t democracy.

      These sort of poles are always stupid because people always answer them in daft ways. “Oh yeah of course I’d prefer a dictatorship that’d be swell”
