Starship Schrödinger's Destiny

Yet another nation fell for the usual racket of a demagogic con-man, who started a war he didn't understand that he can't win, and can't back out of, to try and scare and distract the dupes in his voting base. #hormuz #demagogue #aliens #cartoon

The costs of war are always higher than any potential gain. Especially since the humans are all one, all the same. This is a world warring upon itself. #war #aliens #observers #cartoon

They must be a pretty simple species to keep falling for this same trope from demagogues over and over again. #demagogue #aliens #observers #cartoon

And the people fall for that do they? For some demagogue faction of the elite pretending he's one of them and against the elite? They voted for it? Haha. Twice. #demagogue #aliens #uspol #cartoon

Observer explains that sometimes, when the elite become especially corrupt, a demagogue may arise. He appeals to the masses, pointing their anger at an outgroup and exciting the outrage of the masses at the corrupt elite. Take this orange one with the comical hair, for instance.

Companion is confused. If the elite rule over the masses, the masses can never be sure the elite rule fairly on their behalf. In fact, surely the elite will just steal all the wealth of the masses? #aliens #anarchy #society #hormuz

Observer alien explains: The primitive creatures on this planet are very stupid and instead of living in a peaceful anarchic decentralized existence, they use an hierarchical structure of control. Elites at the top, the masses exploited below. #aliens #anarchy #theocracy #democracy

Companion is confused. The boats are all stuck, the cost of fuel and fertilizer and base inputs is rocketing, the economy is likely to collapse. > "What is going on?" #iran #hormuz #war #aliens #cartoon

Episode fourteen begins with the aliens peering out at the Strait of Hormuz. All the boats are kind of hanging around instead of sailing right through? Puzzling. #hormuz #war #aliens #cartoon
