Oh well, better life under Bradley's rule than he's father's, that much is certain.

He may be Not So Different deep down, have questionnable motivations and heavily rely on immoral toold/methods, but the fact remains that he's doing a whole lot of good on a global scale, much more than ever happened in real-life history.

Considering freedom is ultimately an illusion, and any such attempt always end up with greedy oligarchies manipulating and vampirising the masses, I'd say Bradley is the best option in the end. All things accounted for, we're simply better off under his rule than that of so-called democratic governments, who only ever serve their own interests anyway, and never achieve a tenth of the promises that got them elected.

Bradley may be a sociopathic control freak, but he actually gets shit done like never before in human history, and under his domination everyone is garanteed to have a wealthy, safe and enjoyable existence. How many real-life governments ever managed to accomplish something so essential, the very reason for their existence in the first place ? Absolutely none.

So I say : screw democracy, and long live to the emperor ^ ^;
