How it goes for me: It was the worst of times, it was the absolute worst of times, it was the age of foolishness, it was the age of ignorance, it was the epoch of narcissism, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Darkness, it was the season of Despair, it was the spring of doom, it was the winter of imprisonment, we had everything against us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to the 5th level of Hell, we were all going direct to the Ninth level...

Man, go take a walk and clear your head, you’re starting to depress me and I almost never get down. Are we under a tyrannical regime? I think so, but remember, that’s the form of government that most people have ALWAYS lived under since we came out of the caves. A representative republic (”democracy” which is actually inaccurate) is a very rare thing. Kings, dictators, strongmen, oligarchies, emperors, theocracies are the norm, not the exception. People live through them.

That is actually a ignorant line.

How can you say that in light of WWII Germany, for example?

The plight of the Russians as the Soviet Union formed, starving tens of millions?
