Doubtful. Putin for example has been in power for decades. Stalin ruled Russia with an iron fist for the rest of his natural life after rising to power. Unless they’re overthrown, that’s what dictators do. That’s the whole point of dictatorships, to make the leaders the new kings.
There’s nothing stopping that dude from suspending elections and just ruling indefinitely.
Okay, let me explain something to your dumb hypocritical ass before you make a fool out of yourself any further:
You’re clearly the only one being an asshole and a bully here.
You’re the one being the – how did you put it? “authoritarian we should try to avoid”, and you’re the one being a worthless hypocrite on top of it.
This is me talking to you via an alt account, an account I have because most people on Lemmy have at least 2 or 3 by virtue of federation.
You did nothing but take a cheap shot at some innocent dumb fuck who stuck their oar in because you wanted to hurt me and my feelings. And judging from the rest of your account activity, you very blatantly do the exact same thing you accuse me of doing, all the time, non-stop. And you have zero self-awareness at all.
So why would you even come here all offended at me in the first place, unless you yourself were just @FlyingSquid’s dumbass alt? I guess we’re all alts here, moron.
It’s okay though. You’re acting just like me and I’m here for it. 👏
Because people want a means to travel independently, as in they are in control and not riding with strangers.
