Santiago Alba Rico — The role and bias of this geopolitical obsession becomes very clear as soon as one compares the different attitudes toward Palestine and Syria.
“One officeholder must step down” is apparently an impossible demand.
You:
When the officeholder is the one on the opposite side of the negotiation table, it tends to be a difficult point to reconcile. Do you think the ruler of a country should step down any time a group demands their resignation?
If you don’t like your dictator bootlicking being called out for what it is, maybe you should consider not being a fascist apologist in the future?
Sorry, I know that’s a big request to ask of you.
Notice that I followed that up with a question about whether a ruler should step down any time a group demands their resignation.
Yes, that’s definitely a question asked in good faith (‘any time a group demands their resignation’) and not at all downplaying the fact that the resignation was demanded in the process of a nationwide uprising including mass defections from the nation’s military, directed towards a figure who had never allowed legitimate elections in his life. /s
Since you’re genuinely having trouble understanding, I’ll help you out with this. My exact words were, “it tends to be a difficult point to reconcile”, I didn’t say it was impossible. Notice that I followed that up with a question about whether a ruler should step down any time a group demands their resignation. This goes back to my original point of looking toward the future. If the leading opposition is looking to install a theocracy, then do you consider this acceptable? I guess you do since you must be a terrorist bootlicker and apologist, according to your own logic.
This is my final response for real now. Have a nice day.
