I'm sure their democracy functions about like everyone else's - i.e. not democratic at all
Anywhere touched by the British empire is still recovering from the experience. The East India Company were practising fascism "a merger of state and corporate power" [1] centuries before Mussolini even named it as such.
Fuck Britain, a nation of "excellent table manners and genocide" [2] we are the original fascist hellmouth and fascism has been our chief global export since forever.
I can't apologise enough for this shitty nation, we are trying to sort it out.
Signed, A British Peasant
Quote refs: [1] Benito Mussolini: "Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power."
[2] Terence McKenna: "What was created by the era of the proper gentleman was excellent table manners and genocide over most of the surface of the planet."
I couldn't express it better myself. Although in terms of "having a functioning democracy" the colonizer countries aren't exactly doing well either. (It's almost like powerful people will exploit anyone and corrupt any system...)
This is the thing the fascist supporting members of the public need to understand: that everyone gets thrown under the fascist bus and nobody earns safety by cooperating with it. Not even the upper echelons of fascist leadership are safe. Fascism ultimately means that everybody is in great danger of death no matter who they are.
I am really sick of fascism! We haven't learned the lessons and I'm not even sure we can any more. Human beings have probably been dealing with fascists forever and will need to remain vigilant until the end of time. This year has been educational and not in a good way.
I will die before I will be quiet about it, but we're all on the list anyway so whatever.
The shitter is that Britain is a few years behind the USA. Tr*mp will be gone, but Britain will continue to elect fascists beyond that. We haven't even started here yet and we're the originators of the problem. Ugh!
Thanks for the good work! Education is important!
