What she said shows that she understood the function of Damocles system, and elaborate a way for destroying Schneizel's plan from the inside. Schneizel wanted to keep the world frozen in terror, Nunnaly wants the world to unite against a common enemy.
Its pretty clear in the show that Nunally had no idea what Schneizel was doing and that she was doing her own thing but all the while playing into Schneizel's hands. To Schneizel fear and hatred of the Damocles fits perfectly into his plan, which means that even Nunally's own plan was just a step of the ladder for Schneizel. She was his more than willing puppet.

For a crippled girl of fifteen that has been held in a bubble of glass for half of her existence, it doesn't seems this less to me, but we all know by now how high are your standards............*sigh*
She didn't care about fixing the world. She thought she was blowing up a city that had been emptied out on nothing more than the nice words of her brother. She was Schneizel's puppet through the entire thing, the stupid thing being that she willingly accepted pushing a button that would kill millions to stop her brother. Stop him from doing what, though? All that she has are the things fed to her by Cornelia and Schneizel, she never actually saw him do anything evil.

I would except nothing less of a 15 year old girl that had been held in a bubble. What I expect and what she is, however, are very different things. I expected her to act like an idiot, and she did act like an idiot. The inherent problem, however, is that she never did in the past. She did not blindly trust people prior to the final arc.

What are you talking about? In the show it is clearly shown that everyone loves him for what he did, even the Japanese. The only people who did not trust the Emperor were those who knew about Geass. None of the none-BK diplomats had any problems with Lelouch and were appalled by how he was treated in the meeting.

You can't just call him a tyrant because you want to, he did nothing tyranical until during the 2 month skip where we don't know what happened. Prior to that the people considered him the greatest Emperor. It is people who define a tyrant, not you. There was a reason the KoR were publicly feared by everyone, and there was a reason that Lelouch was loved.

Especially since it wasn't even an absolute dictatorship which is entirely debunked by what is said about him in the show itself. He desolved the Areas system and gave the people back their countries. He liberated everyone, that is why everyone loved him, even the people of the former Areas and even the Japanese. That is not a dictatorship. Especially not even remotely close to an absolute one.

Please, stop making stuff up.
