      hmm yeah i was asking because in the context of these protests, it’s important to understand precisely what is actually protested against, just for the sake of making more efficient analysis and decisions.

        i think they’re talking about a leader snatching up power to make themselves an all-powerful ruler. where the power comes not from a mandate of the masses but from a wet tart throwing a sword at you absolute authority.

            yup. we would prefer the power of this nation to live amongst the people rather than allow it to coagulate into a single person or position. unfortunately with what amounts to actual monarchists in control of all three branches of government, we are on the backfoot.
