No wonder so many users are clinging to XP like shipwrecked sailors to a life raft We look back at our complaints over XP and are forced to reflect on our simple naïveté.
Every fascist justifies their means by waving the "Anarchy" bogeyman in front of people.
"If we don't arrest the Animal Rights protestors, there will be ANARCHY!"
That's just crap. We derive authority in our society, when it operates best, from the consent of the governed.
Democracy or the rule of law aren't things; they're a bunch of shared assumptions about how people should behave.
The question you're asking is about the survival of government; can government founded on the idea of deriving its legitimate power to act from the consent of the governed survive and prosper?
The answer is, always, maybe. (It's a process, not a state; if the process stops, the condition goes away.)
None of what's going on is, particularly, a problem of political institutions or parties.
It's a consequence of three things.
People act in their perceived best interest; the percentage of the population who constructs "best interest" in broad or altruistic ways is always proportionately tiny. So almost everyone is going to act in the ways that increase their relative social status, because, fundamentally, that's what band-living ground apes do. http://sideshow.me.uk/sdec07.htm#12162355
Better stop dreaming of the quiet life / 'Cause it's the one we'll never know And quit running for that runaway bus / 'Cause those rosey days are few And - stop apologising / For the things you've never done, 'Cause time is short and life is cruel / but it's up to us to change This town called malice.
This is an apology for authoritarianism - assuming innocence on the part of authority, and granting benefits of doubt to their actions while also itemising possible hypothitical infractions by the accused.
IOS is universally accepted. The model of its tiered, context-determined command structure has been emulated by many. This is including Microsoft, with it's cascaded netsh and other command utilities.
That said, this kind of command navigation sucks. You are trapped in a maze of twisty, little prompts, all alike.
The structure of these commands were determined in antiquity, when embedded networking devices were resource starved for storage and memory. That's pretty clearly not the case today.
Screw IOS, its resistance to simple scripting, and its defiance to be committed easily to memory.
The writer obviously has a different view of just what "better" means, than do we at Microsoft and the Motion Picture and Music Industries.
I think we all know better than to pay much attention to what foreign amateurs, writing in blogs have to say. If they knew anything, they'd be paid experts.

That is how fascism is apologised.
Looks like they failed in this.
Rearm with rubberbands and spitballs.
End the whole bloody military lie - its a corporate welfare program without end.
