            Genocidal? For sure!

            Military Dictatorship? Sadly not. Because he does in fact seem to have the democratic majority behind his actions. And that makes it worse in my eyes.

              Mussolini had popular support throughout his term as dictator. Just because it’s a dictatorship doesn’t preclude popular support, and all dictatorships have some form of democracy embedded within them since they’re all based on western roman governments.

                Yes, not having fair and free elections makes a dictatorship. Which Mussolini didn’t have after seizing power. And as far as I am aware Netanyahu didn’t manipulate elections (yet).

        I love when people throw out basic facts like they expect nobody to know anything. Only you can enlighten us. Only you see the truth of who the real bad states and good states are.

          Clearly I have a better idea and know basic fucking history since people praise the literal dictatorship turned FUCKING SEX-CULT RULED ‘DEMOCRACY’(read: dictatorship) turned ‘Democracy’ (read: oligarchy) that was set up by the united states after they invaded Korea.

          It really is that fucking obvious when you just look at history, as presented by any side – like the US does not disagree with this take (though they are much more favorable to calling the sex cult dictatorship and oligarchy periods democracy than I am) but for some reason people think the Israel of Asia is somehow the good guys.

            That’s the key thing about your way of thinking: you need me to support one side. The idea of not giving critical support to one side just doesn’t cross your mind.

              Yeah, because I assume you’re a human being capable of thought and intellect and not just a fat intellectually lazy westerner who believes politics is just too hard to think about.

              I try to assume the best of everyone on alt platforms, generally, because you’ve managed, either through incredible luck or the bare minimum level of both ideological and technological mental engagement, to make your way onto a non-mainstream platform.

              X users I’d expect to be politically braindead, same with reddit or facebook or any other right-wing site meant for those too unaffected or too stupid to understand how they’re effected by politics to have a thought on said politics.

          I agree but we’re in enemy territory right now and liberals physically cannot understand that level of analysis. They genuinely think the west is the free world despite their active acknowledgement of the contradictory thought that it is ruled by nazi pedophile billionaires.

          Something as complex as 'hey the invasion force that seized power and acts as a ‘stationary aircraft carrier, but now in asia’ is far too contradictory to their programming of South Korea as a bastion of freedom and democracy amongst subhuman savages.
