...do I need to nationalize the newspapers? Why can't they stay nationalized?
...do I need to ban elections? It seems somehow, the people keep having stealth elections and thinking they have more political freedom than I give them. Just because we allow freedom of speech, freedom to bear arms, have strong transparency laws, doesn't mean you get any say in anything I decide for you! When I told you those agitating for elections were to be shot last time, I thought you got the point!
...do I need to introduce public health care? I get it, I'm mostly small-L libertarian. But I believe in certain "equality of opportunity" positions, and so you get your public healthcare and education. But it seems over time, with enough small-government decisions unrelated to health care, they eventually forget that I have public health care and I'm stuck instituting it all over again.
Likewise, why do occasionally have only idiot choices available to me? On the one hand, there are PETA animal rights types advocating all meat, leather, and furs are wrong and should be banned. On the other, they're advocating I let them skin and eat all the endangered species. I'm a benevolent despotic autocrat. Both those people would have been shot.
