Right because their current regimes have existed uninterrupted since the dawn of civilization.
Unfortunately I'm not trying to say that improvement is inevitable, but rather that no regime lasts forever. Even when they manage to become dynasties, they collapse eventually.
Usually sooner, if they're really shitty. Whether what follows is an improvement, wasn't something I even commented on.
Dictators, monarchies, etc. systems have been the bread and butter of the world for the longest amount of time.
You can’t possibly be arguing against that. Especially Japan and China.
I'm not. What made you think I was?
The fact that you edited the comment after the fact? Didn’t see the edit, thanks for clarifying
I wasn't asking about my reply, but which part of my initial comment made you think the words you tried to put in my mouth would fit there?
Calm down, I didn’t claim you said anything, which therefore makes you paranoid and a hypocrite.
Did you expect to crack wise at my expense without me telling you off?
I'd love for you to elaborate on my alleged hypocrisy.
You’re putting words in my mouth.
Which makes you a hypocrite.
What words would those be?
All I think you're guilty of, is making a comment assuming ignorance on something I do know, and then another assuming I hold a stance I clearly don't.
Am I wrong?
I don’t know how much clearer I can be with you. The words you put in my mouth were that I was putting words in your mouth. Follow?
I wasn’t doing that. Which therefore means you put words in my mouth and that would make you a hipocrit.
You also edited your comment while I was responding which went from
(Loosely worded not a direct quote ;)
“yeah because those civilizations havent been around since the dawn of civilization”
To including content after that sentence which I had originally read as sarcasm. Are we caught up now
Yes. I did not realize your interpretation did a 180.
I was still questioning how that first interpretation arose in the first place, considering the context of my first comment. I thought it more illustrative of what kind of ideas I have, and that it would have excluded such a conclusion on your part.
I didn't like you shifting my words away from what I actually wanted said with a jovial comment that undermines my credibility without even forwarding any relevant points like the guy mentioning NK.
I can sympathize with that, nobody likes to be misrepresented. My bad man.
