He was murdered by the fucking feds because he made so much sense
GLR failed because he was fucking assassinated.
The founders created a nation steeped in modernity
for example, it's been shown that when a bunch of people play a "guess the weight game", their answers, while varying wildly, will always average out very close to the true value
(((They))) knew GLR was redpilling too many too fast.
the same is true of other things
the problem is
of course
the mob
the effect is ruined when someone's decision making is influenced by everyone else's
which is why democracy often doesn't experience that effect
The hivemind is consistent with fascism. No one said that people wouldn't pool their collective intellect and efforts to advance the nation, in fact that is what fascism is all about
But the leader that the people elevate and will in to power gets the final say
Fascism is a sort of third way between democracy and total dictatorship. Usually a fascist dictator ought to be and is a charismatic, strong person that is beloved by the people
I can't wait for the day when I can catch a flight out of George Lincoln Rockwell Airport
There's that quote from Huey Long about how a perfect democracy almost looks like a dictatorship, where the people are so satisfied they have no complaint
Mussolini is a great example of this. Mussolini drew from Julius Caesar and italy's rich roman history to invigorate the national spirit of the italian people
Some day 😢
Caesar was, in a sense, the first example of what a fascist leader would look like
@Hadrian what annoys me about that little easter egg is that it makes zero sense in the world of High Castle
A charismatic, popular, beloved man who the people entrusted with total power
@The Inquisitor [☧] Shhhhh let us dream
The show takes place BEFORE GLR was assassinated in our timeline
and it's unlikely he would have been assassinated sooner in High Castle
Its a easter egg, that's fine. Few normies would know who GLR is
Yes and he probably would have never came to the realization Hitler was right if he still had to fight against them
There are any number of reasons he might have died in that universe
And GLR was an honorable and noble man, but I do disagree with his strategy to redpill people
He probably would have died a navy piolet
pilot
Maybe in this universe he actually did become Governor
and then gets assassinated? hmm.
and got shot by the resistance Kennedy style

Shieeeeeeeeeeeet
we should bug the High Castle writers for a lore clarification
That airport was based on the modern John F Kennedy Airport
the train is supposed to be the AirTrain shuttle between JFK and Jamaica
> GLR Became the first President of the American Nazi Reich
If only
