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. 👏
Wait. You people can’t remove the batteries from your phone? 🤨 My phone is only 2 years old and I can take off the back and remove mine whenever I want. The fuck kind of shit companies are you buying from?
Holy fuck, you right-wing traitors are out in full force today, aren’t you?
Absolutely nothing in this context, yes.
Grow up. Stop shilling for foreign powers.
🤔 And yet they’re federated with ours. Welp, we’ll fix that in a hot minute
You need to grow up
And now you’re defending the practice.
How about, you and the rest of the dumbasses pushing your propaganda garbage go find another place to peddle it? Like hell?
In other words, you don’t have an answer, you’re defending shitty pro-Russia astroturfing and propaganda smearing.
Why do the admins tolerate this?
Russia does basically this to the U.S. with its subs and it’s a reality Americans are forced to deal with every day, so yes, Russia is the clear aggressor here.
How does that change what they are?
Imagine thinking governments, fascists and PR agencies wouldn’t migrate to wherever people choose to hang out and continue their decades-long campaign to brainwash people into believing whatever is convenient for them.
They’re paid astroturfers and they don’t belong on Lemmy. Why the server admins refuse to police them, I just don’t know.
No you won’t, you’ll still be sitting in front of your computer having gotten nowhere in life because you expected AI to solve all your problems for you and you couldn’t see it’s just another corporate grift. Like any sucker.
So long as it’s not a glorified machine learning program designed to commit mass fraud and copyright infringement, then yes. Until then, go cry harder.
Do you understand how art works at all?
