6 out of 10 believe stealing is OK (as long as it’s not from them). The republic is dead - long live mob rule (AKA democracy)...
I think Kissinger said something similar about American voters years ago. But replace “Chilean” with “American” and it sure fits:
“I don’t see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its people. The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves.”
When I first read this (or similar) quote years ago I thought “What a pompous ass”. Now I realize Kissinger was right.
