> "Dictatorships are bad" is not the game-over argument that it once was, maybe 20 years ago.

Yes, it is. By god, something needs to be done about the absolute stupidity that is making its way through American universities. This is tragic.

[colechristensen]

It is indeed not the game over argument any more, measured by the people. Both sides of the political spectrum in America have been ever more strongly advocating for authoritarian enforcement of their political goals and both sides have increasing admiration for foreign dictatorships and terrorists.

The extremes are closing in on the excluded middle which doesn’t have much of a voice at all as nonextremist views are attacked as supporting the other sides.

They are not always doing this in the same ways and in the same places, but there is a definite trend.

I’m not making excuses for one side by saying the other side is doing it, both threaten the republic and world peace.

People that don't understand math appreciate dictatorships because they can imagine themselves in power.
