"A constitution should be structured to permanently protect the people from the human frailties of their rulers."
-W. Cleon Skousen
- Netherlands, Italy, Hungary and Poland have seen a rise in far-right extremist beliefs.
- Germany is facing similar problems with the rise of the AfD political party.
- In Canada, the conservative leader seems to be using similar strategies as Trump did during his campaign.
It's a concerning trend, as these movements often target marginalized communities and push for more illiberal democratic systems. The rise of such parties can have real-world consequences, including the rollback of human rights for various communities.
"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society."
-Jiddu Krishnamurti
It's important that we vote, while we still can, and develop an ability to identify good vs bad leaders. If, for example, a leader keeps saying he'll "become a dictator on day 1" this may not be the person you want to represent your country no matter what other silly promises he may be talking about.
