Creeping Authoritarianism



Israel-Gaza Conflict
Israel Battles Militants as Netanyahu Warns of Long War

More than 30 hours after militants from Gaza surged across the border, Israel’s military said its forces were still battling gunmen on Israeli territory. Around 600 Israelis are believed to have been killed and more than 370 Palestinians are dead.

So ya wanna be a dictator while not admitting you're a dictator, and you wanna stay in power forever while not admitting you're shit-canning the principles of democracy that might limit your tenure?

Find a really great crisis you can pimp to the masses so they won't notice how you're actually fucking them with their pants on, and you'll have a lot of them standing in line to volunteer to get fucked with their pants on - several extra times.

The best crisis? Invasion - terrorists - enemies from without and from within.

And if you can get one that puts a nice rosy glow of racist assholery on it - jackpot.
