Fascist playbook:

1. Tell the big lies
2. Test the constitution by impinging on civil liberties
3. Provoke a judicial, legislative, administrative or popular response to impingement of civil liberties
4. Decry the response as hostile to the public and state interest
5. Bring to a crisis point
6. Suspend elements of the constitution for the duration of the emergency

We had an era of dictators at the same time, like Pinochet, Mussolini, Stalin, Hitler... e.g.
Did they fix anything? What do they cause?

Look at Gaddafi and Hussein - provided stability to Libya and Iraq; absolute chaos without them.

Things were fairly stable under Stalin too. A stable level of food, fear, etc.

You are talking about Arabian countries that need a strong fist to control other wild groups inside. They have a different mentality.

.. the UK has voted for isolation and a backwards looking "Little England".

Why is escaping from restrictive EU trading arrangements to better trade with the rest of the World being a "Little Englander"?

and why aren't Scots keen, like you, on independence from the UK not "Little Scotlanders"?
