"Gimme that ol' black-and-white thinkin', gimme that ol' - - - "

And that will never understand.

Read history and apply common sense. Try to figure out how the Nazis controlled France, what the British did with their colonies, how a successful, stable colony works. Try to understand what is necessary for a stable society.

For instance, allowing unlimited looting is guaranteed to destabilize a country. What happens to a country when the top 10% of their intelligentsia leaves the country, the doctors, judges, administrators, anyone who can afford to leave is gone?

Figure it out.

To say that one had a choice between the former government and total, unrestrained chaos is an example of the limitations of black-and-white thinking. Every situation is either one extreme or the other extreme.

Silly.
