  • I did not quote the post because it is in spanish.

    In short: a guy argued that my country’s goverment is a dictatorship because expeled out the staff of an UN office that is supposed to work on human rights issues and in his opinion there are human rights violations. I replied that a dictatorship is defined by the means a group of people get and/or keep political power and stay in power against the will of majority. Democracy: power by people’s vote, otherwise could be a dictatorship. The violations of human rights does not define dictatorship and made this example: Israel’s goverment is legal and democratic but, in mi opinion, is commiting genocide against Palestine people, so violations of human rights does not equal dictatorship.

    I guess that was the trigger, the guy freaked out and i Just stoped the argument, thought it was useless.
