I don't wish the same for my friends or family still living in Thailand, if the country burned to the ground they would have no home. I also hope the best for the people of Cuba, I don't want their home to burn to the ground either, we can disagree here.

Fuck that! Fuck socialism, fuck monarchy, fuck fascism. If you’re not liberal democracy fuck you.

You're having a really hard time seeing that the policies and laws that govern a country, are not always representative of their people. I support liberal democracy as well, I don't support fascism or monarchy, but I can still acknowledge the people who live under these regimes as human beings who don't deserve to have their country burned to the ground.

When their countries are burned to the ground they can have liberal democracy. Look what happened in Germany and Italy.

If you're going to take the position that every country in the world that isn't a liberal democracy should be burned to the ground, regardless of the human cost, in order to achieve a a liberal democracy, then I applaud you for being so steadfast in your beliefs. I personally find these things a bit less straightforward.

Democracy is non negotiable.

Is it really better to be alive without democracy? My parents risked floating through the ocean on garbage because they didn’t think so.
