Did everyone notice how this election wiped out all the previous leaders and now we’re faced with being introduced to a new crowd of political leaders.

Elizabeth May with the Green Party is the only one still standing.

    Hey, don’t minimise fascism like that. We basically wouldn’t be here if that was true.

        We’ve had Conservative governments nearly half the time. Somehow democracy and progress continued. Fascism doesn’t have ideas so much as it’s the antithesis of compromise and democracy.

        They’re both right-wing, but there’s a huge difference between going to mosque and ISIS, or trusting the police and thinking they shouldn’t have to follow any rules.

            I mean, the pipeline could only be as old as the internet, which rules out most of the history of Conservatism, and there definitely is a left-wing equivalent. It’s just proven less appealing.

        Conservative is what, auth-right…right?

        Which is militant and hierarchical, without rights for anyone but those at the top. With dissenters shot and killed absolutely. Fight for this ideal with any means or join the army Nazis.

        Auth-left is the exact same, but rights for everyone. With dissenters shot and killed absolutely. Fight for this ideal with any means or join the army rebellion.

        Lib-left is rights for everybody, but with chaos. Nobody gets shot. No militancy. Fight for this ideal by talking and loving and making everybody smarter and wiser and more peaceful and cooperative.

        Lib-right is no rights for anyone but those at the top, with chaos. Nobody gets shot and no militancy, they’ll just take away your rights with economic power and selectively withholding education. Fight for this ideal by taking resources from those who you believe who are at the bottom of the ranking of caste because it’s the natural order and has no consequences. May only the strongest survive. Don’t help anybody else, unless they’re a threat, then grovel, unless you can murder them and take their money.
