Breh dictatorships easily morph into tyranny when the dictators mandates do not work.

who is Julius Caesar seen as benevolent to? Not me. He was a war mongerer that sought to amass power at any cost. Was he seen as benevolent to the populations his armies invaded?

Concentrating all the power into one entity is not wise. They’re will always be a faction in the shadows plotting to overthrow.

why would he seem benevolent to you? did you live in his era? if you can't interpret history any better than that i feel sorry for you. but then if you don't know the history i can see why you wouldn't be able to interpret it.

there will always be factions plotting to overthrow, regardless of the form of government. history has also shown that. this so-called democracy has been overthrown, if it was ever really even established in the first place.

personally, i'd rather have a decision maker at the top. someone in authority, who can also be held personally responsible. not a large body of people, looking for a majority to make a decision, and not a one of em can be held responsible personally for any bad decision and/or treasonous activity.

They dig their own graves.
This thing was that originally it was a simple "okay" sign. Them alt- right dudes thought itll be funny to turn it as a white power sign to get people rilled up.
Only for them to take it seriously.
They cant do satire.
Theres no such thing as joking WITH White supremacy. It should be shunned.
There's no joke.

All history is open to interpretation. There isn’t any single way to view it.

The difference is with a dictatorship or tyranny the plotters are seeking to use violence because a dictator can not be swayed unless faced with death.

Democracy is more about chicanery, although violence has been used at different points especially in the US.

In my opinion democracy is not perfect but it’s the best option.

Who would hold the dictator accountable for treasonous activity?

Someone just negged me on my comment.

My question is, what has democracy done for you if our people continue to struggle:jbhmm:

If a Dictator for the people, the greater good, regardless of color was put into place, would we not be in a better position?

A dictatorship doesn't have to be totalitarian dictatorship. It's an interesting topic nonetheless. Could it be something feasible

who held caesar accountable?

and that's not true about dictators not being swayed unless faced with death. there are examples of dictators laying down their dictatorships voluntarily. cincinnatus and sulla in roman history are two examples off the top of my head.

don't be so quick to speak authoritatively about issues you really don't know enough about. i understand people are reading, but it's ok to realize when you don't know something and ask for more info. that's what a Man does.

The world is drastically different from when Caesar was assassinated. Many of the dictators maintaining power today are backed by larger nations. Anything is possible though.

I’m not an authority on dictatorships or tyranny. I’m expressing my opinions on why I don’t feel they are conducive to the good of a population. Same as you are expressing your opinions and providing examples. If you feel that I’m not qualified to debate this matter with you then say it. No need to make condescending remarks.

That Democracy talk is honestly propaganda. U.S. has used that type of talk for years and years, you see what happens down the line:francis:

Above the fray.
Went to see the comments about this and racists are out in full force saying that it's the "hand game"...smh...
There's a documented case of a military man pulling the same stunt on live tv, and getting punished for it.
Despite the pleas copped and the excuses, these West Point and Naval Academy students are held to a higher standard than enlisted men and should be punished accordingly.
