THE DICTATOR read America to bits and pieces. And y’all laughed, but didn’t realize that he was talking about YOU. So you sat there complacent eating your popcorn.
Wow. Well @sonofbaldwin, you know analysis of satire isn’t a strong point on the average American’s resume. Because this video clip? WOW. I cannot stop looking over the script, which I posted below:
Why are you guys so anti-dictatorship? Imagine if America was a dictatorship! You could let 1% of the people have all the nation’s wealth. You could help your rich friends get richer by cutting their taxes and bailing them out when they gamble and lose. You could ignore the needs of the poor for health-care and education. Your media would appear free but would secretly be controlled by one person and his family. You could wire-tape phones. You could torture foreign prisoners. You could have rigged elections. You could lie about why you go to war. You could fill your prisons with one particular racial group and no one would complain. You could use the media to scare the people into supporting policies that are against their interests. I know this is hard for you Americans to imagine, but please: try!”
