I doubt if many of us want an autocratic dictatorship.

"I doubt if many of us want an autocratic dictatorship."
- No not particularly, but there may be a point where it becomes a necessary evil. 'Democracy downward spiral' At what point do things get so bad we decide to jump off the sinking ship. Why are China succeeding? - Because they're not hamstrung by democratic infighting and poor policy favoring special interests. I'd settle for non weaponised democracy, with a focus on diplomacy, not rule by threats, blackmail, sanctions and military intervention. If you want me to stand BEHIND democracy Foxy, (well I still think it's flawed) Then you all need to stand AGAINST the misuse of it, for the purposes of global conquest. I'm happy to compromise for the greater good. But when democracy become a fight between existing inhabitants and immigrants we're halfway gone already. Democracy should be about the people deciding their own future. Not about what is best for the capitalists, the donor class and those abroad. - It's engineered conflict, to push the country in a direction the people never chose.

Why are so many Chinese fleeing China?
If democracy is so bad why are there so many refugees fleeing into democratic countries? Posted by Foxy, Thursday, 1 August 2024 1:54:23 PM

Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in late Feb
2022 - more than 300,000 Russian citizens and residents have fled Russia by mid March 2022. 500,000 by the end of August 2022, and an additional 400,000 by early October to a total of 900,000. President Putin has introduced prison sentences of up to 15 years for publishing any information that he considers "fake news." In the meantime his "troll farm" and propaganda machine works relentlessly. It's not an invasion - it's a "special military operation." Just like the work of the Soviet Regime of the past which "liberated" so many countries. Yeah - it's all about the bad West and its "conquest." of the world. China is great and so is Putin - don't you know? Many of course are voting with their feet and running from this "greatness." Posted by Foxy, Thursday, 1 August 2024 2:16:49 PM

"300,000 Russian citizens and residents have fled Russia by
mid March 2022." - Yes, and the Ukrainians lay land mines to stop their people leaving. Who wants to die in a war, because leaders are having a tiff? Some, who think their nation, family, friends and way of life is under attack and worth defending. And the others who care not about these things and only for their own lives run away. "President Putin has introduced prison sentences of up to 15 years for publishing any information that he considers 'fake news'." - Necessary evil when the West uses civil society to put protestors on the streets. "In the meantime his "troll farm" and propaganda machine works relentlessly." - Yes I know, our western media loves to omit facts and twist the truth, Lol. It's not an invasion - it's a "special military operation." - There's no hiding the fact Russia invaded, we can say 'special military operation' because the real war hasn't started yet, send in NATO, then you'll have a war. If you think Putin just woke up bored one morning, and drunk on conquest then you're being naive. "Yeah - it's all about the bad West and its 'conquest' of the world. China is great and so is Putin - don't you know? - I've been telling you and showing you all for years. With wars around us and potentially bigger ones in the not too distant future, perhaps you might actually try to see the bigger picture. Why do you think the West went nuts in Georgia over the so-called Russian Law? http://carnegieendowment.org/russia-eurasia/politika/2024/05/georgia-protests-geopolitics?lang=en¢er=russia-eurasia It's the west leading an attack against those countries to change the government. Next minute you'll have a million Georgians dead and the puppet government run up deficits handing out subsidies to western companies to rob the country, and the people will end up having to take loans from the IMF, so the country is even more screwed. It's a well oiled machine robbing people of the right to exist peacefully, because someone else wants to use them as a tool for conflict. Posted by Armchair Critic, Thursday, 1 August 2024 2:57:37 PM

When will you all learn that the world is not the way it is because the US is the worlds savior, it's the worlds instigator.
- Trump is unlikely going to change anything.
Only when we all see that America uses 'democracy' as a tool of conquest and division to cause the conflicts will the world actually change.
