    You’re making highly authoritarian, essentialist arguments - I can’t imagine why you’d be getting that kind of pushback.

    As you double down while getting downvoted to oblivion as everyone tells you how wrong you are, I’m sure you won’t be the…

    kid (that) comes up with bullshit rationalisation for why they’re right and everyone else is wrong once they get home.

    You know the best way to get a teenager or a toddler for that matter to do something? Start by treating them like a person.

    I bet you absolutely love listening to people as they refuse to treat you like a person, let alone acknowledge your bullshit rationalisation.

    Try not to lick any boots on your way out.







  • Common goals, with a strong unifying purpose for 1.

    In no way reliant on a benevolent dictator, and using authoritarianism to push a purpose generally results in outcomes like genocide and the annexation of neighbouring territories.

    Opportunities for significant advancement.

    The opposite is typically true as autocratic leaders use their power to entrench their power, enforcing strong hierarchies.

    Significant investment into medical care.

    This one is a mixed bag, but also isn’t remotely dependent on an autocrat.

    Strong leadership direction.

    That needs to point in a positive direction for it to be a positive - something that’s almost never happened for long

    An extremely egalitarian society.

    The opposite is almost invariably the case - preferential treatment (generally paired with bloodshed) is necessary to keep the powerful in power.

    Filtering of those in power.

    Who filters the dictator? That would mean they’re not a dictator.
