Poll: Personally, I Support Our New Fascist Dictators

[shadoworc01]

I am not saying that any current governments are fascist -- China is communist, there's a difference -- but if the country you live in was to suddenly become fascist, who would you want to become the dictator? My picks are Michael or Alan Moore, but I've also heard the Dali Lama, Joss Whedon, and Miyamoto (only two of those I take seriously.) Please post realistically, don't say things like "GlaDOS," although fiction is okay.

Hmmm... Meh.

Lets just throw up Morgan Freeman, because with his wonderful voice anything is possible.

 

[rokkolpo]

none, but i'd prefer a politician.

like hell anyone unqualified gets the job

 

[El Poncho]

Someone who wants to restore the image of fascism.

But uh yeah, since I can't think of anyone I will go with Demented Teddy

Oh god yes. One thousand times yes.

Him or Gordon Freeman, anyway.

Edit: Realistic? Awwwwwww. Well, Gabe Newell then

Can I say Light Yagami? It probably sounds stupid, but he doesn't abuse his power much, and he's certainly not afraid of cleaning things up, so to speak.

Liam Neeson vs Morgan Freeman, I'll just let them duke it out with their amazing soothing voices.

See, the reason I don't want politicians to be the dictators is that I have yet to find a politician I trust with that power and is still alive. The closest that has come to Bernie Sanders, but he would just make it a socialist Democracy, and that's not Fascism. Just think of how many political scandals there have been within the last five years. Apparently all of the members of congress come from Illinois.

Its what happened in the first book is why i gotta say no to that. He killed a protector of the innocent for no other reason then he didn't want to be stopped. Meaning he would probably kill anyone who even suggests an opposite opinion of his. That's not being a dictator, that's being a tyrant.

 

[Not-here-anymore]

An Andrew Ryan-esque political scientist/psychologist. A benevolent dictatorship would actually work quite well as a government system. The only problem is finding a person who could wield that kind of power only for the good of others...

Lo and behold. I was about to say the same thing.

Or maybe my stepfather, but only if he names the country after himself so we can have a real-world Republic of Dave.

He wouldn't kill at a mere suggestion. There were plenty of instances where people voiced their opposition to Kira and he didn't kill them. He only acts if an action is taken against him. It's less "I'm gonna kill you if you disagree with me" and more "I'm not going down without a fight".

He killed a news reporter for speaking out against him. Essentially using murder to crush his opposition. He was even planning on killing Misa simply because it would be more convenient to him. If it wasn't for her Shinigami she would have been left to the wolves or killed by Light.

I suport Chucktatorship!
if chuck is to busy being awesome and 70, call Vader.
I bet Vader would make a good dictator.

 

[Free Thinker]

Me. I have some interesting thoughts in mind...
Go ahead and ask me some questions as to what I'd do. I will amaze you.

Be careful. You might get stuck with Cheney, and he'll just bomb Russia and end the world.
