Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon

The US and UK are populist democracies, as such both had sizeable minority support for Fascism in the years before WWII - I believe it was Churchill who was leaning heavily towards it as a “great form of government to consolidate popular support.” But, those movements ultimately did not gain full control and once war was declared on the Fascists, it had a strong damper effect on support for it in the US/UK.
Nobody is harmless, and no nation is made up of people who agree 100% on all questions. Fascism attempts to manufacture the appearance that lie is true, which is one of it’s many drawbacks: allergies to reality.

It’s not the people that make decisions or even matter.
It is the capitalist US/UK governments that have decided to help their nazi friends.
That’s what matters

In a democracy, the people get the government that they deserve, at least the near-majority of them do.

There is no such thing as democracy, it’s only a theoretical concept.

There’s no such thing as pure democracy in anything larger than an ancient Greek city-state, possibly today’s HOAs - and you see how well they work.
What passes for democracy in todays’ nations of millions (and even the HOA we chose to leave 12 years ago) is elected representative government where the voters trust their elected representatives to represent their interests - to varying degrees of success and failure.
What’s lacking in, for instance, the US government for some time now is actual representation of the majority of the peoples’ interests - unless the majority of the people actually enjoy being on the poor end of a growing wealth gap. Those voters who continue to elect representatives who perpetuate these policies are: getting the government they deserve.
