We're not a monolith any more than your country is. Which one is that, BTW?

    I think Ruth Dreyfus, Yvette Jaggi, and Micheline Calmy-Rey who have served as head of state might disagree. We are non-monolithic all the way up.

    We are the only diplomatically important country on earth in which the ability for the head of government to hold more than one competing thought at a time is guaranteed, by dint of there being seven of them, representing all of the major parties.

    Oh, so your system guarantees that at all times at least one of those thoughts is "collaborate with fascists"?

    If one person collaborates with fascists and the rest do nothing to stop it, then the fascist still gets what they want as surely as if the entire group had collaborated. You can list as many people who didn't personally collaborate with fascists as you want, as long as they didn't stop collaboration they are complicit.

    So thank you for demonstrating "pride in a state that collaborates with fascism" for the class.
