This is why Trump won and the EU is falling apart.
In the next five years the populists and the right will tank the world economy and destroy the European union.
The people will then realize that this can't go on and we will see the return of the progressive left and centrist parties.
The harder everything crashes under the right, the better it will be for all of us after. I only hope the crash won't be something that the world won't be able to recover from.

What does that have to with anything?

I work at a university that trains pilots...

First post best fucking post
Thomas Jones
kek. Seriously though if you knew the kind of people that become pilots you would be afraid to fly.
Luke Jones
ACTUALLY its more like getting in a cab and its clear the guy doesn't know the area like you do and has no idea where he's going and he keeps making wrong turns so the fare climbs higher and higher so you just say fuck it get out I'll drive for you even if I'm drunk because anything would be better at this point
Alexander Lopez
More like "terrorists have taken over and are going to fly this plane into a building, who thinks we should take over and fly it into the ground instead?"
Fuck you guys. Your future had no place for me. You should have kept your smug mouths shut.
Christian James
Came here to say this Also it's against the principle of democracy and even representative republic that our leaders are somehow irreplaceable and a class above the common people Once again leftist cartoon misses the point Sad
Alexander Roberts
any jackass can drive a car, but we still have training and licensing.
Evan Young
How come then that poor people rarely do? As if, somehow money would make people more influental. The mystery that keeps me up at night...
Cooper Walker
And despite that how many people do you see on a daily basis that should have their licenses revoked? I see about a dozen a day and I live in a small town.

Robert Cruz
third-ed, came here to say exactly this. Until we do what even fucking Platon proposed 2500 years ago and start actually training people to become proper decisionmakers and governors, a politician cannot be treated as a person with a specific set of "skills" outside of what an ordinary citizen normally has.
Noah Hernandez
Coming from the left that has run things into the ground for many years thats funny. So things going good is a sign of things going bad. Eu is individual nations. They will survive and in many cases be even better without chokehold eu beaureaucracy.
Charles Perry
> yes goyim you are too stupid to make decisions > Let us do the thinking for you goyim because we are smarter, better than u > we don't need u, you need us
Aiden Smith
Haha very funny. But what if the pilot has lost his mind? What if he is trying to chrash the plane with no survivors? The establishment has betrayed the people and they are trying to chrash white civilisation with no survivors and we have to stop them.
Isaac Long
Burn it all down. Starting with Israel and Jews worldwide.
Jace Scott
Interestingly, the most succesful times in the long history of chinese empires were when highly trained and examined officials helped the emperors to govern the actual empire. There were times when they were castrated, so to remain focused on their jobs and 'saved' from nepotism

This comic might as well be arguing for a return to feudalism. The political class and their pocket "journalists" view themselves how monarchs and lords used to.
Austin Lopez
Idiot croat. You of all people should know.
Connor Cox
Also, pilots are known for being competent and doing their job correctly. How often is there an airplane crash and when there is, how often is it due to pilot error? Almost never. Meanwhile, how often is there some social, political, or economic crisis in a nation and how often is it due to politicians ineptitude? Constantly.
If pilots were crashing planes on a daily basis the way politicians crash nations, then yes, it wouldn't be unreasonable for the passengers to demand a turn at the controls.
Zachary Butler
>how often is it due to pilot error? Almost never.
It's usually always pilot error...
>In fact, pilot error is the leading cause of commercial airline accidents, with close to 80% percent of accidents caused by pilot error, according to Boeing. The other 20% are mainly due to faulty equipment and unsafe, weather-related flying conditions.
Isaiah Perry
Based Magyarbro
Ryan Evans
I stand corrected. In any case, of all the countless flights there are annually around the globe, how many crashes are there? Very, very few. Pilots have credibility. Politicians do not.
Gabriel Cox
veteran pilots have credibility just like veteran politicians have credibility even if their ideology is cucked.
New pilots fly shit for quite awhile and observe even longer. Airlines don't trust new pilots at all for quite awhile.
Also flying an Airpline has a set amount of variables that you learn as you gain experience. Politics is abstract as fuck.
Jeremiah Ross
Why is he left so certain that their policies and oppinions are invariably correct and morally superior
Fuck off
Justin Smith
underrated post
Jacob King
>exhibit 1 Donald Trump
Isaiah Turner
look, the point is that the analogy in OPs cartoon doesn't make sense. Politicians are always fucking up. Pilots are not. If they were, people would be correct in being skeptical of them.
Veteran politicians don't have any credibility. If anything they are less credible in what they say as they have a lifetime track record of lying and ineptitude and years of experience in being a corrupt political parasites. Like Trump said about Crooked H.: "She has experience but it's bad experience"
Luis Wood
Exactly
Daniel Rogers
Listening to someone all the time because they belong to a profession with apparent credibility is a terribly cucked way to go through life.
Doctors have credibility, would you not agree? I know people personally that would have had dead children if they didn't take their kids out of the hands of a doctor.
I will stick to questioning everyone. Nobody with a particular credential impresses me unless I know they can do their job properly.
Hunter Reyes
This is basically what has happened in Latin America during the last 15 years.
Left-wing populists have gained power in countries like Venezuela, Brazil and Argentina. They have implemented their policies and they have failed so hard that the left has been discredited for a generation.
Asher Ross
Excuse me let me elaborate >politicians are just public servants >somehow people have begun to worship politicians >we have begun reverting presidents like some prophets >everyone needs to act with upmost decorum and class tompoliticians >even when they are corrupt and steal from you and send your children to war
FUUUUUUUCK THAT
Politicians are parasites, the president is a fuck, congress is full of rats
It's about time the "respect" for government gets taken down 100 slots and they be seen as the roaches and busybodies that thy are
No experience ? Good Shut the government down! Wonderful D.C. Gets nukes off the earth? God I pray for it
The president isn't a king, he is not a god, he needs no experience
Experienced politician means an expert in lying and stealing
Fuck political reverence
Fuck the government the. West part of trump so that all these political names and dynasties for he last several decades have been whiped away and sent to go die slow lonely geriatric deaths
Good riddance bey will not be missed

It's not edgy it's the American ethos and losers like you and liberals in our country have tried to hide suppress.
No man is above the law, government is force and it should fear us.
If you want to be meek stay in whatever shithole nation rules you, if you want to live for yourself the way god eintended you know where to go

Angel Robinson
>implying being a governmental leader needs special qualification CITIZEN GOVERNMENT
It's not about running the country the "right" way it's about running it the way the people fucking WANT it to be run. If we want the country to be run into the ground that our prerogative because it's OUR country. If we want it to be great again at the expense of a bunch of shitters riding our coattails that's also our prerogative.
Michael Taylor
More like
>Pilot is drunk, lost, has the fuel dump pumps engaged and is in a nosedive >Passangers have to storm the cockpit just to get his ass out so he doesn't kill everybody
I would trust a plumber, electrician, or white collar manager over any career politician anyday, just like I would trust someone without a pilots license over a drunk retarded pilot.
Mason Gray
We can't really just not have any. You have to choose your battles if you want to get anything done, user, and it's foolish to think that everyone in power has nothing but selfish motives.
Wyatt Turner
wow, you actually unironically wrote "American ethos" and "live the way god intended"
This is something a teenager who just read some "big books for grown ups" would write.

I'm serious. Blind cynicism is just as idiotic as blind idealism, and much more common because some people have got it in their heads that cynical = intelligent. It's demoralization.

Christian Barnes
Lol the rights crashing the lefts plane with no survivors. And out of that we'll make a better faster more comfy plane if you catch my drift
Jose Diaz
you betcha
Charles Bell
And to match your point in this analogy I'm sure if we let everyone be a politician we'd be holding referendums constantly to remove some from office. I'm glad you're working through this.
Nicholas Peterson
What does the federal government do?
I would challenge you to find any real impact it has on you
Most of anything you need is done by your state or city
The federal government was meant to regulate state relationships and have an army
That's it
We don't need any of them
We could nuke D.C. And build a single office building in Missouri for the entirety of the the federal government to operate in and it wouldn't make one real difference in our prosperity
In fact it would probably help
But that's not really my point my point is that we have begun to revere our rulers, that we "need them". No we don't they need us
They are a tool to help us and people need to remember that
Daniel Garcia
"These smug pilotscompletely ignore science, facts and common sense. I'm an experienced mechanical engineer, with helicopter flying experience, and these people here are my co-pilots, with a decent amount of flight experience. Who thinks I should fly the plane?"

every human acts in their own self interest sometimes it's in your best interest to act benevolently in representative democracy those in power seek power there are such things as nepotism but george w. wasn't born an heir to the throne

maybe you think that's awesome, but the rest of the world would rather have medicine, roads and water.

civilization and government can't exist one without the other
Cameron Powell
of course not
but not everyone can or should be able to govern a nation.
Xavier Robinson
that doesn't mean you need to passively accept things as they are animals do that
Nolan Sullivan
once again, of course not. But you should know when someone can do something better than you, when someone has more experience, and when to respect the system. It's there for a reason, and IF IT WORKS it beneficial for everyone.
Grayson Lewis

Jonathan Jackson

is it working? do you really think brussels really has your best interests at heart?
Henry Ross
Cheers OP. Its great to hear a reasonable voice on Sup Forums
Isaac Anderson
Yeah and anyone can fly a plane too. It takes some training not to crash tho
Jason Powell
That is not true
Government is a result of civilization that's like saying "civilization can't exsist without academia"
What? Government is just an institution to help govern civilization. It is a tool or a "social construct" you might say.
Literally the entire enlightenment of the 1700's is about saying anybody can actually govern
Christopher Wood
according to fucking nature!
not everyone can write a book, not everyone can run 100 meters in under 10 seconds, not everyone can fix an engine - different people are good at different things.
Joshua Harris
If the pilot was nose diving the plane then I'd be happy for anyone else to have a crack at saving us.
When did the left become so establishment?
I don't think the right need to "crash" the west, it just needs to undo the damage the left has done while retaining the good
Mason Rivera
>Some people are good at legislation
Top fucking kek
Jayden Gomez
In theory, absolutely. In practice, yes, 80 percent of the time but just because it's insanely difficult to manage the EU.
Thomas Howard
That's because most commercial airplanes are flown via remote control. It's like auto-pilot. Pilots are there just in case something goes wrong, like with Captain Sully.
Hudson Gonzalez
Some form of government has always been there, ever since the earliest forms of human societies. There was always a leader.
So those two concepts have always been interlinked.
Ryder Watson
>Some people are good at legislation
Yes, some people ARE good at legislation.
Carson Jones
They really rustled my jimmies
You literally believe that some people are good at telling other people what to do
Just off yourself you fucking slave
Isaac Sanchez
How can you refute that some are better at governing than others? There ae obvious cases of horrible leadership doing very bad things to their country. Pol pot is one horrible example. Meanwhile our founding fathers are a perfect example of exellent legislative ability. Are you this dumb?
Andrew Ramirez
This is literally the kind of argument a king or dictator would use to argue that they should remain in power.
Luke Mitchell
When did Sup Forums become the most sensible place on the Internet?
Nolan Harris
That comic is beyond stupid. The analogy does not even make sense. Since when does a pilot have to be in touch with regular people? A politician has to be, but not a pilot. Fuck off with that stupid shit.
Samuel Morgan

Jack Moore
So you're telling me that a guy who went to, lets say, law school, who was an active member of various organizations, maybe started in a city council, then later became a senator, or governor, or whatever, who knows the system, who knows how global politics works, WOULD NOT make a better president than a guy who did none of those things?
You can't possibly think that, no matter what your political views are.
