who taught you social studies?

i haven't blogged about this topic ever. i only talk about it when i comment on other people's blogs. you know, i'm going into this with no research on the current news at all; please do tell me if there is something inaccurate with the entry. (i.e. if it was already proven that gloria cheated)

on my way home from the barber (and no, i didn't get my head shaved) i saw some small posters plastered all over a wall. these posters claimed gloria was a fascist. (it said pasista, so of course it would pertain to a fascist in translation, unless someone could tell me otherwise.)

well, whoever is managing the group doesn't know his or her types of government leaders. suggestion: play some civ.

for those who don't know, fascism, according to wikipedia (yeah, it gets pretty handy these days) does:

• exalts the nation, (and sometimes the race or culture) above the individual, with the state apparatus being supreme.
• stresses loyalty to a single leader.
• uses violence and modern techniques of propaganda and censorship to forcibly suppress political opposition.
• engages in severe economic and social regimentation.
• engages in syndicalist corporatism.
• implements totalitarian systems.

our president did none of this, mind you. maybe the "stresses loyalty to a single leader" part, although figuratively and debatable. how could you possibly call yourself a political opposition group when you make the wrong political claims?

and, also on the posters were (strong) claims of her cheating in the elections. of course, you hear it everywhere, but the annoying thing is they made it sound like it was already proven, which is something it isn't. well, she did admit that she was on the (illegally wiretapped) conversation, but that doesn't immediately point out that she cheated on the elections. how many times must we stress that fact?

i long for the day when this (that is to say, our) generation takes over the palace. we've had so much bullshit from the previous generation already. my humble opinion.

oh, and the sona was rather short. she was merely stating the obvious in her speech. good move on reusing a gown, though.
