Death and elections

What I’ve learned by reading the “Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” is that Hitler was a master politician first, and a dictator second.

Also, a country really needs general support for it’s conservative party, as a counter to self serving insurgents such as Hitler.

Unfortunately for us in Australia, it seems that’s our conservatives have themselves been captured by insurgents. Therefore, Labor has to take on this role. After all, we are well past the era of humans as units of energy, so what else are they going to do?

Also in Germany the parliament of the day could change the constitution themselves without referring to the people. An oversight one might say!

The overwhelming impression I have is that “the people” are easily lead into a corner by devious insurgents. The status quo offers little resistance.

But then of course the devious insurgents get drunk with power and fuck it up. Lesson learned, the hard way.

What’s the half life of that lesson learned? 30-40 years I reckon, given the current state of world affairs.

Then it goes around, again. It seems that people have to die early and painfully so that others don’t have to.

What a wretched race we are!
