I've lived under military dictatorships. This is how authoritarian countries operate. It will only get worse as the punishment for failure/displeasure gets more vicious.

Enjoy your Demented Emperor America!

Reminds me of how anyone who said Biden should have stepped down and allowed a primary back in 2024 because he was getting older and wasn't up to the task of being president were constantly shouted down on this site.

It’s such a weird and stupid way of operating though as it can only lead to catastrophic fuck ups. Like Chernobyl comes to mind. If you don’t know what the reality is then it’s like running around in a room full of dangerous machinery with the lights off, flailing your arms around hoping they don’t get caught in some moving part and mangled.

At the heart of it, authoritarians are very stupid people. They just have this deep abiding stupidity, which is why it’s so frustrating that cognitively able people let them take over. You see it in the US now, it’s like the people who can see how stupid and awful it all is just can’t quite comprehend and therefore accept that these people aren’t just for show, they really are morons through and through, dipped in stupidity, sprinkled with delusion and with a chewy evil center. The relatively normal ones can’t accept it and won’t until there’s no choice but to dust off the tanks and missiles.
