Yes, if only we made you dictator and subjected ourselves to your capricious whims, you would surely rule over us benevolently and somehow stop the foreign scammers from conning our grandmothers. Sounds like a great plan!
- omginternets 3y agoCome now, the charitable interpretation is that the OP is not considering dictatorship as the alternative to democracy.
- mcpackieh 3y agoWhat then? A non-democratic republic, e.g. a dictatorship of a committee? A monarchy, which is little more than a dictatorship crossed with religion/tradition?
- omginternets 3y agoAsk him? I'd encourage you not to make it a loaded question, though.
- well_actulily 3y agoI'd suggest that anyone coming into a comment section with vague anti-democratic platitudes is not worthy of a good faith discussion over their precise meaning. If they're unwilling to state their position outright, I think it's entirely fair to chalk them up as a dog-whistling fascist in the current climate.
- omginternets 3y agoIt’s explicitly against the site rules.
- mcpackieh 3y agoI invited him to clarify his remarks and he has not chosen to do so. Being deliberately vague when criticizing democracy is a bad look but whatever he really believes is evidently even worse.
