Comment on Totalitarianism. What are the good things about it?

Not necessarily worse. It definitely can be but it doesn’t have to.

Do you think a government with total impunity and 0 accountability could be "good" and would remain "good"?
BlameThePeacock@lemmy.ca 2 years ago
I don’t even think democracy with accountability will stay good. 30% of the US voters have checked out of reality and are voting based on lies they want to believe.

Agreed. Although, I do not believe its the voters/citizens fault. Indoctrination and propaganda are powerfull tools of the state.

Just like how a democracy can work. It all comes down to the people in charge of any system.

Tyranny of the majority is always happening though. It can’t really be avoided. The US is experiencing it on everything from race to religion to home ownership.
