We're talking about totalitarian stuff. Politicians/leaders not telling always the truth (or, if you're cynical enough, hardly ever tell the truth) happens everywhere, in various political systems. If that's totalitarian then we pretty much only know totalitarian systems, which makes the category kindy meaningless.

The point is that it's less democratic when the voters are stupid and they vote for liars or don't vote at all. That's what DeT was talking about.

But that is not OB's point. He used the quote to support his view which is about totalitarianism, not some shortcomings, problems or failures of democracy.

The fact that you are free to have your silly views, and can freely post them, or, say, have a political rally, is a strong proof of your nation's democracy. Even if you are the only one who 'sees the light' - you are free to express this.

This does not compare to Russia, where people who go on rallies are arrested and beaten up by police.

Troll thread for Serb. He hasn't taken the bait yet.

True, but only to some extent. These guys are not an independent movement, they're gov't sanctioned and financed. I'd be cool if they were genuine self financed Lord God worshippers.

Wrong. Freedom of speech is that last right they need to take away when everyone believes their lies. They don't have to worry because they can just put their spin on whatever you say or simply say its a matter or national security, they have a duty to protect us, blah blah blah.

If I was running Nashi and was as good as KGB is at deception, there'd be deniability more perfect that that for a fact that you're a camel.

Does Russian education suck so much that you don't even know the parts of your decrepit Motherland's former empire?

[Serb]

Yeah, I forgot that Americans are well-known for their geography skills.


I'm totally pwned.
