The first sentence: >>Your original point is that their actions are close to 60 years ago, right? If not, quote it again please No, it was not. And I think you know that. The first thing you commented on was: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7795134 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7795134 It starts: "It seems that dictators generally need to make enemies out of the world's democracies." My second comment starts with: "First -- that is not relevant to my point that authoritarian juntas seems to need to make external enemies out of the world's democracies." (Similar in my third and fourth comment.) I only read the first sentence you wrote. I lost hope of a serious answer a while back.

"I still can't figure out what your "original point" is. Perhaps you meant the very first sentence you wrote. "It seems that dictators generally need to make enemies out of the world's democracies." I never did disagree with it, only that even non-dictatorships such as U.S. do it too. Almost without exception, those in power conjure external forces to ensure their own legitimacy, it's stupid to say only dictators did so."

  >>I still can't figure out what your "original point" is Strange that it took you half a dozen comments of repeating other stuff to ask for what I referenced in every comment? I think you troll or actively try to hide the subject. I just mentioned the trivial point again here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7799415 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7799415 (And, well, I only read your first sentence again.)
