Specifically those who believe in a Superior Group's Right to Control the Inferior People, for their good of course.
Like JE's gunman who is putting his gun to the head of a woman and ordering her to have babies, because he is doing "gods" work.

ROFLMAO and do it again!

All but one of the first 20 questions in the daily press briefing were "Steve Bannon".

Steve Bannon! Steve Bannon!

OMG............

"I got out at last— somehow," he said, quietly, suddenly plumping back in his chair. He went on after a pause. "For a bit. Some of us get out by luck, some by cunning, and crawl on to the grass, exhausted and crippled to die. That's a poor man's success, Kipps. Most of us don't get out at all. I worked all day and studied half the night, and here I am with the common consequences. Beaten! And never once have I had a fair chance, never once!" His lean, clenched fist flew out in a gust of tremulous anger. "These Skunks shut up all the university scholarships at nineteen for fear of men like me. And then— do nothin'.... We're wasted for nothing. By the time I'd learnt something the doors were locked. I thought knowledge would do it— I did think that! I've fought for knowledge as other men fight for bread. I've starved for knowledge. I've turned my back on women; I've done even that. I've burst my accursed lung...." His voice rose with impotent anger. "I'm a better man than any ten princes alive! And I'm beaten and wasted. I've been crushed, trampled and defiled by a drove of hogs. I'm no use to myself or the world. I've thrown my life away to make myself too good for use in this huckster's scramble. If I had gone in for business, if I had gone in for plotting to cheat my fellow men— ah, well! It's too late. It's too late for that, anyhow. It's too late for anything now! And I couldn't have done it.... And over in New York now there's a pet of society making a corner in wheat!

Continue exposing your ethical and moral suicide. It is wonderful and necessary.
When did you become so moral & ethical?

Vietnam?

NYPD?

University?

"In a couple of centuries perhaps," said Masterman. "But meanwhile we're going to have a pretty acute attack of confusion. Universal confusion. Like one of those crushes when men are killed and maimed for no reason at all, going into a meeting or crowding for a train. Commercial and Industrial Stresses. Political Exploitation. Tariff Wars. Revolutions. All the bloodshed that will come of some fools calling half the white world yellow. These things alter the attitude of everybody to everybody. Everybody's going to feel 'em. Every fool in the world panting and shoving. We're all going to be as happy and comfortable as a household during a removal. What else can we expect?"

Your continuous championing of the murdering and cruel enslaver of the North Korean people.
It is identical to your violent support of dangerous tRump.

If that isn't true, then one must assume your binary thinking is totally flawed because pointing out one sides errors does not absolve the other or indicate support, and it will have to be concluded that you are intentionally attempting to annoy, antagonize and insult others.

Do the Swedish people, as the American people. Distrust power, be it political or media.

We don't belive so much in conspiracy theories as the US does.
Maybe because we live in a small country and with a high transparancy.
Sweden has traditionally had strong faith in society institutions and the media.
However politicians are often distrusted especially during bad times.

Or perhaps understanding "power corrupts, and absolute power..." Is not from a foundation of a belief in 'conspiracy". But from a correct understanding of humans and their history.

Or to put it another way. 'Never have faith in any power'. As all history, which includes European history shows. Is a necessary belief to preserve our Individual freedoms from what all power must become.

Well, power feeds corruption.
Corruption is the abuse of entrusted power for private gain. It can be classified as grand, petty and political, depending on the amounts of money lost and the sector where it occurs.

Since when is wanting a slightly LESS powerful Government 'anarchistic'? A smaller Government with less concentration of power is still a Government. Anarchy is NO Government... Or, at least this Libertarian Minarchist (me) so believes...


Which is better: Freedom and Liberty? Or, the illusion of temporary safety lasting only until the Government gathers enough power onto itself to make slaves of the People?

Are you closer to being a Hobbesian or a Lockean? That is the core question.

And hence it is that he who attempts to get another man into his absolute power does thereby put himself into a state of war with him; it being to be understood as a declaration of a design upon his life. For I have reason to conclude that he who would get me into his power without my consent would use me as he pleased when he had got me there, and destroy me too when he had a fancy to it; for nobody can desire to have me in his absolute power unless it be to compel me by force to that which is against the right of my freedom- i.e. make me a slave. To be free from such force is the only security of my preservation, and reason bids me look on him as an enemy to my preservation who would take away that freedom which is the fence to it; so that he who makes an attempt to enslave me thereby puts himself into a state of war with me. He that in the state of Nature would take away the freedom that belongs to any one in that state must necessarily be supposed to have a design to take away everything else, that freedom being the foundation of all the rest; as he that in the state of society would take away the freedom belonging to those of that society or commonwealth must be supposed to design to take away from them everything else, and so be looked on as in a state of war.


Locke -- Second Treatise on Government, section 17

or

For men, as they become at last weary of irregular jostling and hewing one another, and desire with all their hearts to conform themselves into one firm and lasting edifice
[...]
I observe the diseases of a Commonwealth that proceed from the poison of seditious doctrines, whereof one is that every private man is judge of good and evil actions.
[...]
Another infirmity of a Commonwealth is the immoderate greatness of a town, when it is able to furnish out of its own circuit the number and expense of a great army; as also the great number of corporations, which are as it were many lesser Commonwealths in the bowels of a greater, like worms in the entrails of a natural man. To may be added, liberty of disputing against absolute power by pretenders to political prudence; which though bred for the most part in the lees of the people, yet animated by false doctrines are perpetually meddling with the fundamental laws, to the molestation of the Commonwealth, like the little worms which physicians call ascarides.


Hobbes -- Leviathan, parts of Ch. 29

If you have been following the Clyde's fixations, you will see that he knocks ALL parties & want the workers of the world united, which is not possible without some semblance of organisation.

What can be more anarchistic than that?

This is what you get with “pay to play” politics, out of control corruption due to out of control greed. The whole political system over there badly needs to be reformed before the whole country collapses from the weight of that corrupted greed being continually piled on it (oh wait, havn't I been saying that for years now?), but some are just to stupid to see this fact.

Cheers.

There is a book/manual about how to grab power.
I get the feeling that Trump's father Fred has read it and that Donald followed in his footstep.
Power as a Hobby by Tönis Tönisson.
The outside world is really unimaginative.
With some proven and amazingly effective psychological tricks you can get it close enough wherever you want it.
Train yourself and grab power! You may of course work gradually.
Start with the family, then take your colleagues and the boss.
Upside there is no limit - For Disguised Gods there are no limits!
Power skills are the same for everyone.
It is only the starting point for those already powerful, who differ greatly from ours.
But it is possible to compensate with superior technical skill and unscrupulous conscience.
In Power as a Hobby, you will learn the common methods.
Power as a Hobby is a highly topical book. It has been that for four decades.
The celebrity names have changed, government agencies and companies have been shut down and restarted; Politically correct grammar has changed gender.
But the human nature, as depicted here shamelessly, is the same.

Dow Closes above 25,000, quickest 1,000 point rise in the history of the stock market.

My personal IRA grows by 22% in the last 12 months, far outstripping my goal of 8% per year in retirement.

I don't know if you are being sarcastic. But I don't like either side.

No I think I'm more of satirical.
In Europe we tend be more satirical then the US.
Take France and Britain for instance.
The Swedish satires are very mild to the satires from there.
And it's part of the constitutional Freedom to Speech to keep power grabbing politicians in check.
