    Yeah, it's a lot more important to vote for people that'll make you look cool than to base it on political realities.

    The UK is not a socialist country. It may be more left-wing than the US, but the idea that it's socialist is part of a larger myth designed to make America look more centrist than it is. If that makes sense. Basically, the fact that we're more left-wing than you guys doesn't mean that we're socialist - it just means your country is right-wing.

    But yeah, the UK is perhaps a good example of how capitalism doesn't have to always be the enemy. It's just better for us to exert pressure and make the system work for us. Maybe it's just that our history of revolution is so different from yours, but we don't set much score by over-throwing the government every five seconds. I think the general consensus is that it would be letting them off too easily!

    Have you considered just moving, rather than voting fascist in a country that doesn't want it? I mean, the way you're talking about voting, you're clearly looking to exploit a weak point in democracy - to get people when they're on a low - rather than it being what other people want. But still, I guess you know what's best for everyone better than they do, right? Or rather, the people you're looking to vote for do. Right?

    I'm not bothered. People in this country like Canada. Common enemy, I guess.

    No, I intend to run as a Fascist candidate, just not under the Fascist label.

    Trust me, nobody will know the difference, in the Canadian electoral system my objective will be to have candidates situated in strong ridings, at first around 12, then more, and so on and run strong campaigns in those ridings, set up roots and then expand.

    This is in contrast to what the Green Party has done, they run a candidate in every riding, we have 308 and they have yet to win 1.

    Then again I'd destroy democracy if I ever got into power, of course to do that I'd have to first abolish the Senate and counter other Parties as " technically " illegal etc You know how it goes, sure elminating democracy isn't easy, but it can be done, from within.

    And you don't see how doing that stuff would make you just a tiny bit of a ****? I mean, we're all humouring you, like the ideological minutiae are what makes what you're tossing out so blithely so abhorrent, but really, on a basic level, what you're talking about is being a massive wanker. A successful massive wanker, but a massive wanker all the same.

    I know it won't make any difference, and that you'll assume I'm ideologically wrong-headed simply because I think that a fascist taking control of a half-decent nation and completely fucking it over as much as is physically possible for no reason that's so far been explained to me, but it's not. I'm being "emotional", which is something that's quite important in politics, and I'm telling you that if you get any power, it will only be as a result of being a corrupt, lying, disgusting piece of human waste, and you should not talk about that as if it's just fine. You probably justify it as being only as bad as what those mean ol' politicians do, but it's the intent, not the action.

    I acknowledge that I was born into a very favorable position, as an only child to semi wealthy parents ( again, not millionaires but they don't have to get loans or mortage and can afford to buy new cars every 3-4 years etc ), so why not exploit my situation?

    I've already stated by position on life and death, all we as humans are doing is wasting, yes wasting our time until we die, it depends on us as individuals how we choose to waste that time. I have chosen to waste my time by achieving more and more power, it makes me happy but above all it makes me content, content and satisfied.

    Being a politician is in many ways no different than being an athlete when you think about it ( and yes I am physical active in several sports, but mainly tennis, I do enter the Canadian Tour Tournaments in the summer ).

    A politician seeks to get approval from the public and continues to do so to achieve more and more power to become a central figure, similair to say an NFL Quarterback right?

    Politicians get the same kind of scrutiny as pro athletes.

    I support and admire Quarterbacks like Kurt Warner and Danute Culpepper when so many others criticize them to no end, same with politicians.

    I would never vote for a " 2 big ones " because that would be me going with the overwhelming majority, and as I sometimes say, fuck the majority they're just a bunch of brainless morons.

    What do you want, a fucking cookie? Why waste your time on something that will make people hate you? Oh wait:

    Well that's charming and a totally sane reason to go into politics. Honestly, I don't really know why you're bothering to explain yourself if this is all you're going to come out with. I guess it's a good job no-one here has the technical savvy to find out your real name, otherwise these remarks could make you look kinda silly when you're "under scrutiny".

    Was that supposed to make me empathise with you? Because, like, athletes are jerks, remember?
