If I learn more about either the margins of error for each subcategory, or the specific language of the questionnaire, I'll post an update. And, if the survey is accurate, the results strike me as extremely troubling, as to both sides of the aisle. That's certainly so within despotic governments but some argue that, even within democratic regimes, people's moral right to self-defense extends to lethal force (whether in the form of violent revolution or more targeted assassination) used to defend against sufficiently serious threats to liberty.īut given the extraordinary damage that a culture of political assassination can do both to democracy and to liberty, I have to be pretty firmly in the "no" camp here.
Athens indeed spun the murder of the tyrant Hipparchus by a pair of disgruntled lovers into a fight against tyranny, but neglected Cleisthenes’ place in the true origins of the democracy. Yet their roles were downplayed by succeeding generations. I should say that, as a matter of abstract morality, assassinating political figures might be defensible. Cleisthenes and Thrasybulus played important roles in the independence of Athens, and its existence as a democracy. The poll was "a nationwide survey of 1,500 adults ages 18+ which was conducted via online panel," so I expect there were likely only about 150 respondents in each of the demographic categories (such as "Younger Republican Men") which would mean a margin of error of about 8%, so I'd be hesitant to make much of (say) Younger Republican Women seeming to support assassination more than Younger Republican Men, Younger Republican Women more than Younger Democratic Women, or Younger Democratic Men more than Younger Republican Men.īut it does seem that among the under-50-year-olds, there is about 35-40% support, with no detectable aggregate difference between Democrats (averaging 38-54%) and Republicans (37%-56%). In Democracy 3, dissatisfied liberals - especially from the middle income bracket - may join the Human Rights Society to make their demands heard and, if ignored, may radicalize and join the Freedom League.This is according to a Southern Poverty Law Center poll, conducted by Tulchin Research (warning: gives Tulchin mediocre marks, at least as to its campaign polls). Seeing as elections are the cornerstone of democracy, that’s not good. Won five elections, lost one, assassinated.thrice The game itself starts off great, but where the game drops the ball is elections. Other liberals may join the peaceful Secular Society to lobby against any religious policies. Played about 5 five hours, done several games.
Democracy Now is a 501(c)3 non-profit news organization. Liberals, especially from the middle income bracket, may join the peaceful Human Rights Society if they feel their nation is lacking in social freedoms. Before Her Assassination, Berta Cceres Singled Out Hillary Clinton for Backing Honduran Coup.
In Democracy 3, liberals are 20% less likely to be religious and 10% more likely to be environmentalist.Ĭitizens are influenced to become liberals because of high liberalism.
DEMOCRACY 3 ASSASSINATION FREE
They have a distrust for most forms of authority, support the separation of church and state, and oppose any laws that prevent citizens taking actions of their own or making a free choice in a moral issue, such as consumption of products having a negative impact on health (alcohol, tobacco, drugs) or prostitution. From, a game POV, these are disasters, but the trouble is, they seem emergent from a dispassionate attempt to build an accurate simulation. However, the simulation DOES need some difficulty tweaking, as it does seem to get into virtuous circles (or the reverse). Liberals are supporters of social freedom. 3) People do not spot the difficulty slider :D.
