The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"Sez you."

No. Says Mirriam Webster.

"Antifa, as I use it, refers collectively to thugs, criminals, malcontents, and terrorists who we see breaking laws and undermining civil society in various contexts, current manifestation is the anti Israel movement on college campii. I condemn the violence and destruction regardless of the philosophy of the criminal, whether he calls himself FA, Anti FA, communist, socialist, marxist, Isis, Hamas, jihadist, or christian. Bad behavior is bad behavior regardless of the underlying politics of the perpetrator."

Ok. Since you completely missed the whole point of that post, I will ask you to answer the question:

Do you support a strong centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader with severe economic and social regimentation and the forcible suppression of opposition or are you against systems of government like that?

It is a simple question.
