Well, to start, he'll never relinquish power. According to him, he's in charge forever. That alone is all one needs to thoroughly distrust and oppose.

There's nothing homophobic about what I said.

maybe you should read your comments first at your hypothetical wedding, see how it goes over.

I intend to! What a perfect moment to highlight the exploits of edgelords on the internet. I'm sure I'll be strenuously heckled and ostracized for condemning and deriding supporters of Putin, the CCP, and the DPRK on the internet there.

It's in June, back home in Chicago, so it'll be a joyous affair, of which you're an expert of, no doubt.

As I've said before, it doesn't matter if you suck dick or not. It does matter whose dick your sucking (proverbially), which in this case would be Putin, Jingping, et. al.

I'm gonna show your comment to my wife, and one of my best friends, at whose gay wedding, I will be speaking. Congrats! You're in the speech! Let's face it, we all need to laugh more in life, and judging by your reaction, I prefer to do it at your expense.

So please, cry harder, because I need more material!

It's not about whether you're sucking dick or not. It's about whose dick you're sucking.

Thank you.

Absolutely nobody on any of those sites believe that Vladimir fucking Putin is a leftist.

I have seen evidence to the contrary.

Those wannabe champions of labor are temporarily-inconvenienced-dictators-in-waiting.

Anyone who praises Xi Jingping, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and <insertAuthoritarianMurdererHere> as hard as I routinely see on lemmy.ml, hexbear, and lemmygrad is an awful person and deserves derision, contempt, and distrust. They can call themselves a "leftist", "socialist", "communist", or a whatever-ist. Fundamentally, they're edgelord bootlickers and temporarily inconvenienced dictators-in-waiting.

"wHaTaBoUt USA, iSrAeL, nAtO, etc.?"

You can hate "The West", their people, their foreign policy, and their economics.

Doesn't mean you should suck dictators' dicks because they're "not The West".

lemmy.ml, hexbear, and lemmygrad users verbally fellate contemporary and historical autocratic mass-murderers they deem to be “leftists”, or "great leaders and allies to the cause", most recently being Vladimir Putin, Xi Jingping, and Kim Jong Un.

They are, in reality, bitch-made invertebrates who don’t even have the arm-strength to lift their Molotov-sippy-cups out of their premium-outdoor-brand backpacks, let alone form meaningful opinions on economics, political philosophy, or geopolitical reality.

thats derogatory

Despite whether it was called for or not, being derogatory is the point.

and misogynistic.

No, it's not.

For example, my mother is a gambling-addicted, mean-spirited, unapologetic, narcissistic bitch. My brother, my cousins, and I have receipts to prove it.

For what she put my family and I through, I will call her a bitch to her face at every opportunity, until her death. To denigrate her. Because she deserves it.

She is the equivalent of the definition of a bitch, a female dog. In fact, she's worse because female dogs, in my experience, have been orders of magnitude more loyal, agreeable, and loving.

Do I hate all women? Does equating a woman to a female dog reveal an irrational contempt of every woman?

Absolutely not, and my wife, niece, cousins, and female friends would all agree. People who make claims like yours attempt to infantilize and absolve women of ridicule or accountability in some weird effort to appear to want to "protect" them, and, ironically, are being sexist towards women!

Women are just people; some are wonderful and some are awful, and some are stupid bitches, from the goddess Laxmi right down to my abusive bitch of a mother; let's not forget one of the worst bitches of all time, "The Bitch of Buchenwald".

Your banal and platitudinous political correctness on the internet will never change that.

Whenever I hear about fuckery on cruise ships, I always think about this.

Me, when the family asks me, "the IT guy", for help.

Not a lot. Should be zero. But at least it's below 10.

You being good for people is secondary, less important parameter.

Based on what?

I guess if your country managed to survive for 74 years before collapsing on its own, then we can conclude you were not effective.

What country are you talking about?

It doesn't mean their cars are good.

Exactly my point.

Basically, if you or a group say "I'm in control forever because I've always been in control and my goal is to always be in control forever.", at the very least, your reasoning on why you have to be in charge has no bearing on whether you being in charge is good for people, effective at the tasks of governance, or even objectively good for yourself.

A similar argument to what you're saying would be, "Ford makes the best cars because they have been making cars the longest." It's demonstrably false, to use your words.

A dictatorship may last for millennia, but the duration of a system of government's continuity is not the sole, nor most important, attribute when judging its legitimacy, utility, merit for all its citizens.

You're taking a teenage edgelord's, or if serious, a sociopath's dictator's position, as if that's something to aspire to be.

Evidence I was talking about were links to books about primary historical sources that I could read.

If the Roman Republic, isn't democratic enough for you, then, as I said, we could talk about the Athenians. Or perhaps the Iroquois League.

But what was your point again? The merit and utility of a system of governance is measured by how long it lasts, or something to that effect?

In your words,

2. Democracy is shit.

and,

Demonstrably false.

in response to (paraphrasing), "other systems of government other than democracy are worse."

So, educate me and everyone else, then. What are you talking about, and send some links to back up whatever that is.
