gollark: I like authoritarian governments, but only if they magically make everything work better with no problems and never cause problems for me or anyone else I know.
gollark: Doesn't that demonstrate that being more authoritarian and not having democracy does NOT automatically make a place good, if you don't like Singapore?
gollark: Isn't Singapore also one of those somewhat-authoritarian not-very-democracy places?
gollark: Well, I don't know much about it and don't care very much.
gollark: Amazingly enough, people sometimes don't like being subjected to authoritarian regimes?
