History show most will choose authoritarianism.

Larry Ellison wants constant surveillance so everyone will be 'on their best behavior'.

With a little asterisk on the word "everyone".

Some animals are more equal than others after all.

I'm not sure why the down votes, I'm not being glib.

Go read the work of historians who study this. The transitions in Russia, Hungary, etc are well documented. There is a pretty solid consensus understanding of the dynamics, the typical playbook, etc.

Somebody is taking advantage of the tens of thousands of children that have been disappeared by ICE. I wonder who the most likely suspects are.

They will take the country down in death throes if there's a progressive movement, but will happily kiss the shoes of a dictator in an authoritarian regime.

I do hope I live to see the day we properly oust this mentality of "a single person deserves a billion dollars". But that's a big "if"

>>lokar+(OP)
It will just be a matter of time when the "authority" turns its back on the elites.
