Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus The motto of the Austrian Empire, Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus, or Let justice be done, though the world perish

• Austria is fast becoming Europe’s latest debt nightmare.

Arnold: (in his blunt tone, shaking his head) You know, Joe, I tried it already in California. And let me tell you — fuck the politicians. They all look for a bribe, a cushy deal, or some cozy retirement package. They don’t care about the people. They only care about staying in power.

JCJ: (calm but sharp) That’s exactly why I don’t put career politicians on the ballot. My elections? They’re filled with famous people who actually care about their fans, their audience — their people. Actors, musicians, athletes — they can’t hide behind bureaucracy. They live or die by public trust.

Arnold: (raising an eyebrow, intrigued) So you’re saying fame can be cleaner than politics?

JCJ: Cleaner when it’s tied to responsibility. Fans don’t tolerate liars for long. In this new order, we cut out the career parasites. No more perpetual debt machines, no more endless growth fantasies with finite resources. We reset the system.

Arnold: (leaning forward, voice deepening) You’re talking about a revolution.

JCJ: A revolution of trust. If the old order is built on debt and corruption, the new order must be built on loyalty and honesty. And Arnold — you could take back Austria. Imagine it. President Schwarzenegger. Not some faceless bureaucrat. You’d give the people a leader who fought for them, not for a pension.

Arnold: (pauses, then smiles in that signature grin) You’re dangerous, Joe. But maybe you’re right. Maybe Austria needs me back. Not as the Terminator… but as the President.

JCJ: (with a grin of his own) Then let’s terminate career politicians.
