Poll: Chaos or Tyranny?

Chaos. With chaos there is no order, no predictability. Humans crave predictability, even if that means giving in to tyranny. That's why so many nations allow a tyrannical leader to take over a country that is in chaos, because people want some kind of order, no matter what it is.
On the basis that both would be equally bad, I went with tyranny because I would still be able to get services and stuff (and tyranny is a cool word).
Chaos, because humanity always self-organises & forms communities that are capable of great things. Everyone here on the escapist is here as a result of chaos, not tyranny, and that's true of pretty much every community I can think of, although there are probably some exceptions. Tyranny just destroys communities & doesn't let the crowd reach their full potential.
You mean permanent chaos? Because there will usually be some leader to fill the void in cases of moments of chaos.
I'd prefer permanent tyranny over permanent chaos, as long as the government in question doesn't have a specific prejudice against my specific ethnicity, religion, etc. I get to mostly live my life as I want, as long as I don't go against the state or have overzealous neighbors who report me to the secret police for "suspected dissent."

I'm going to go with Chaos, simply because my faith in humanity gives me hope that the terrible things people do simply because it will have no repercussions will be kept to a minimum.
Chaos. Mankind has shown time and again that it can accomplish great feats even when it seems the world has gone mad. It won't be easy, but neither is tyranny.
In Chaos you can change your circumstances to better your position. In a tyranny, whatever the dictator says goes and it doesn't matter if you lose your livelihood or your life; there's not a damn thing you can do about it.

Chaos you never know it might me fun.
In the world I seeyou're stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway.
Chaos FTW
Chaos FTW
Under trinity you will be shot in killed my myself (or or other revolutionaries) for supporting tyrants.tendaji said:
Tyranny is not safety. The Hunger games, China's hideous human right violations, Nazi Germany. That is tyranny it breeds chaos which in context is ironic but none the less true. Chaos is a zombie film or Left 4 Dead it somewhat less ironically breeds cooperation (possibly tyranny) or total extermination both of which I prefer over tyranny
Don't worry, so did I.Uszi said:
OT: I think Tyranny is worse. Having someone tell me exactly what I'm going to do and when i'm going to do it does not sit well with me. It's likely to happen during chaos too, but at least then that person isn't likely to have an entire government behind him, slightly better odds. And he'd likely have other enemies too.
