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. 👏

Truth. Facts.

I meant Lemmygrad, but the admin came to the thread and said "fuck you, I want to boost my numbers up, the tankies are staying" so it doesn't actually matter. 🤷

Yeah, I am pretty sure the All feed is intended to show content from a variety of instances, not to be dominated by a few shitty ones.

That shows how badly they need to travel. There's a literal epic fuckton of cool things you can find across the country. I traveled cross-country a few years ago and I saw lots, things you wouldn't even necessarily find in books. 🤔 Things that really need to be in books, come to think of it...

We ought to fork Lemmy and include features it's badly missing, like the ability for users to block whole instances, and to better enable admins to block brigadeers and spammers who make alts.

They don't get that what repulses people is them, because other people know what they're peddling is a pack of obvious lies.

Like, who the fuck honestly thinks the Tianamen Square massacre didn't happen? We have pictures EVERYWHERE. Motherfuckers in China who saw it or had relatives killed are still alive.

Next they're gonna argue the fucking Holodomors weren't real or not actually genocides.

🤦🤦🤦 I tripped and fell down a rabbit hole of abject scumfuckery the past 24 hours. Someone help me up.

Also hi, I'm the one who found that thread and bitched up a storm about it on lemm.ee yesterday, how's it going? Glad for the invite. Glad I'm not the only one who noticed it, either

I could go on for days on how unconscionably fucked up it is for them to deny the Holodomors (fun fact: there were actually 2 of them).
