Don’t you know. When I kill people, it’s called freedom; when someone else kills people, it’s called tyranny.

People who think this don’t deserve an /s.

MOSSAD

noun a government, especially an authoritarian one

The Liberal regime froze the bank accounts of the trucker convoy protesters.

Authoritarian is subjective not objective.

It’s solely a matter if reference.

You don’t know Curtis Yarvin (ally of VP Vance) where he rightly points out that tech companies run like dictatorships not democracies. Yet we don’t opose them. Why?

Again a matter of preference.

The COVID trucker convoy labeled the Liberal government as a regime. They also say the liberal government suppresses dissent and the freezing of bank accounts as totalitarian. They also say most Canadians oppose the Liberal regime and that Trudeau got fewer votes then the Conservatives.

Many such people emigrated to Mexico saying leaving is better than fighting.

Are you going to say the Liberal government is a regime?

I bet there is at least one Cuban who labels the government as the government.

“Cubans” don’t view their government as a regime. You do, then found a Cuban that agrees with you and then put their quote in bold.

You just proved my point. Government I like is called a government, government someone else likes is called regine.

If you are consistent with “regime” you’d call all governments as regimes.

Don’t you know? When I kill citizens, it’s called freedom. When someone else kills citizens, it’s called tyranny.

Governments I like are called governments, governments someone else likes is called regimes.

Don’t you want to support freedom? Why are western governments so against freedom? Why is Canada playing pussyfoot with oppressive tyrannical communist regimes?

The person who thinks this post is legit doesn’t deserve an /s.

Talking to Iranian expats is like talking to flat earthers.

They believe the Islamic Republic was a CIA coup while the Sha was not, when in fact the opposite is true.

What the expats fail to understand is that, at the time in 1979, the majority of the people (i.e. people outside the cities) wanted the Islamic Republic.

This same dynamic is playing out in Turkey with Erdogoun. His support comes from the countryside. The secular support is in the cities. That’s how he put down the military.

Same thing happened with the Taliban. They were popular in the country. And overtook the country when the US withdrew. But you would be stupid to say the CIA backed the Taliban government.

It’s very difficult for them to understand that their viewpoint was in the minority (at the time). They have to say the government was imposed on the country instead of confronting the reality that it was not.

These governments were not imposed, they were chosen. Negative consequences came as a result, like a lot of ultra conservative movements, but chosen none the less.

The current government fucked up though with killing protesters. The majority is prob against them now.
