    Autocrats are perfectly capable of prioritising the people, and there are many cases in history of them doing so.

    There’s a reason this is always the exception and not the rule. Let me introduce you to The Rules for Rulers by CGP Grey, based on the book The Dictator’s Handbook.

      While I’m sure it’s probably a very interesting book, I’m not watching an entire video or reading a book just to figure out if you have a point to contribute in an ongoing discussion. Cite it or use it as a source sure, but not just throw random media titles around with no context.
