You’re going to call protestors “agitators” while the broligarchs keep coming up with the most outrageous, evil bullshit they could think of, just for the hell of it.

Err… I’m not trolling or taking any sides here but couldn’t that also be claimed about communism? And the vast majority of monarchies if you start your analysis then… And I guess if we look at the current day, one could argue contemporary democracy tends to devolve into fascism…
But, you know, It’s almost like the systems in use are irrelevant when there are generalized hostile war scenarios with huge foreign threats that might exterminate your nation state or make it implode through sabotage… And this seems to happen roughly every hundred years or so.
And after the horrors of war, the general population unifies to pick up what’s left and swear they will never let anything like this happen again. But then they have kids and grandkids that are like “oh, gramps you so silly”.
A basic notion of history and some critical thought shows us this has happened time and time again, the only significant contemporary difference being the existence of aerial and nuclear warfare.
Empires have life cycles, and they get old. Then they get corrupt and other empires start challenging them… And then you have a big big war, and then someone wins, and then people calm down for roughly 50 years… and on and on it goes.
