FUYUTSUKI:“Government by majority decision of three different computers. It's a system that is properly in line with the fundamentals of democracy.”

Zusuchan: Interesting how the fact Nerv therefore essentially rules the city without the knowledge and consent of the public is never really brought up or criticized by other characters. Fuyutsuki might say this form of government is basically democratic, but it's ultimately really not, even if Nerv as an organization does relegate the basic job itself to the supercomputers.


thewayneiac: This strikes me as just being an offshoot of the current unfortunate trend of legislatures ceding their lawmaking powers to boards of unelected bureaucratic "experts". Having computers do it is just one step beyond this.


UrsusArctos: Democracy or not, it's properly in line with Fuyutsuki's sense of humor. The younger Fuyutsuki we see in Episode 21 would've erupted in rage against this farce, but his older self seems to have resigned himself to mere sardonic mockery of the system that he's now entrenched in.
