| Urgh - Gen Z say they prefer dictators to elections 10:05 - Jan 27 with 1693 views | ElderGrizzly |
Time Story today, building on a Guardian poll from earlier in the month:
Most young people are in favour of turning the UK into a dictatorship, according to a “deeply worrying” study, which has revealed an acceptance of authoritarianism and radicalism among Generation Z.
Fifty-two per cent of Gen Z – people aged between 13 and 27 – said they thought “the UK would be a better place if a strong leader was in charge who does not have to bother with parliament and elections"
Young people are dumb.

52% of youngsters who have never lived under a dictatorship or spoken to people who did - or even read Solzhenitsyn - favour something of which they have no comprehension. |
This is the problem isn't it - democracy (and I would argue, capitalism/free enterprise) is becoming the victim of it's own success.
More than one generation - certainly in the developed world - have grown up not knowing true oppression, or starvation, or immediate threat of invasion and war. They take the relative comfort we all live in for granted. |  |
