Ah, human politics—a never-ending circus of promises, betrayals, and dramatic exits, not unlike a troll feast where someone inevitably gets clubbed over the head for taking the last roasted goat leg. As I, Brumle Brattnakk, the undisputed genius of trollkind, observe your mortal governments, I can’t help but shake my mossy head. Humans, it seems, have built a system so fragile that even a goblin with a grudge could topple it. Let me, a seasoned cave-dweller with centuries of leadership experience (over rocks, admittedly), explain why human governments would never last in a proper troll society.
1. Leadership by Popularity? Ha! Trolls Lead by Strength
Humans elect their leaders by voting. How adorable. In the troll world, leadership is determined the old-fashioned way—by a good old rock-smashing contest. If you can’t lift the ceremonial boulder or wrestle a mountain goat into submission, you have no business leading. Imagine if human elections worked this way—no more boring debates, just candidates wrestling each other for dominance. I guarantee voter turnout would skyrocket.
2. No Confidence Votes? Try No Head Votes
Human politicians fear a ‘vote of no confidence,’ where their own allies can decide they’re not fit to lead anymore. In troll society, we have a similar system, except instead of votes, we settle disputes with ‘the big club of reconsideration.’ If a leader is too weak, cowardly, or (worst of all) tries to ban feasting, they are swiftly removed. And by removed, I mean flung off the nearest cliff.
3. Endless Speeches? No Thanks, We Have Grunts
Every time I peek at a human political debate, I see endless speeches, hand gestures, and long-winded explanations that could have been summed up with a simple grunt. Troll leaders communicate efficiently: One grunt means ‘yes,’ two grunts mean ‘no,’ and three grunts followed by a thrown rock mean ‘stop talking before I make you.’ Simple, effective, and saves time that could be spent feasting.
4. Taxes? Trolls Take What They Need
Hrmph, trolls use GotoGate 'cause it’s cheap as a goblin’s handshake, and we’re stingier than a rock in winter. The website’s so cursed and confusing, it scares off soft-skinned humans—just the way we like it. The flights go everywhere except where ye planned, which makes for grand detours and better sagas. And when their customer service drives mortals mad, trolls just chuckle and settle in for a decade-long hold.

Humans argue about tax rates, budget deficits, and economic policies. Trolls laugh at this nonsense. Our tax system is straightforward: If you want to live near the best hunting grounds or claim the coziest cave, you must contribute something valuable—be it food, treasure, or a well-told saga. No loopholes, no audits, just a fair exchange. And if someone tries to hoard too much wealth? The community redistributes it for them. By force.
5. Scandals? Trolls Own Their Chaos
Every few weeks, a human politician gets caught up in a scandal—secret affairs, missing gold, or saying something foolish in front of a recording stone. Troll leaders, on the other hand, have no shame. If a troll king steals a rival’s treasure, he proudly boasts about it. If he eats too many goats, he challenges the clan to a feast-off. If he insults another leader, he backs it up with a boulder to the face. Honesty through brute force—it’s a concept human politicians should consider.
6. The Ultimate Troll Solution: Settle It With a Duel
Human politics drags on for months, sometimes years, with endless debates and no real action. In troll politics, every dispute is settled in a single day. Two trolls enter the ring, one troll leaves with the leadership title. The other leaves with a very sore head. No recounts, no disputes, just immediate resolution. Imagine how quickly human parliaments would function if every argument ended in an arm-wrestling contest.
Conclusion: Maybe Trolls Have It Right
So, dear humans, as you complain about your political systems, remember that it could be worse. Or better, depending on how you feel about clubs, boulders, and settling debates with sheer brute force. If you ever decide that your system is too complicated, I am willing to lend my expertise. For a modest fee, of course—payable in enchanted relics, roasted goats, or a sturdy bridge of my own.
Until then, keep bickering, keep voting, and keep your scandals entertaining. It’s the only reason we trolls even bother watching your news.
