I didn’t say anything about a dictatorship. A democracy isn’t thousands of people propping up a single figurehead to “represent” them, time has taught us countless times all that accomplishes is a recipe for corruption. Democracy looks like people assemblies and congresses, people actually representing people. The fact that you and others saw my comment and immediately went to dictatorship actually really illustrates my point. The west has a lot to learn about democracy.

You said “the west” as if the other major option not “the west” wasn’t a totalitarian dictatorship.
Also, local councils and assemblies exist in the US, and they have power, but not quite enough.
And they’re correct, Westerners are just programmed to treat it as axiomatically true that foreigners are ontologically evil
Dictatorships are not their people, that’s kind of the point.
Did you reply to the wrong comment, because that has nothing to do with what I said.
