unbelievable how these authoritarian regimes will do anything to cling to power. Even if it means killing their own citizens. https://www.reddit.com/user/AudibleNod

damn, this guy knows how to party. where's the invite?

i was just watching a doc on cambodia and hte khmer rouge's atrocities - it's wild to think that

aw man, that's just how teh dawg in them be and they can't help it, it's in their nature.

dude, that's not even remotely news. authoritarian regimes have been doing this shit for centuries,

i know, it's fucking disgusting. they'll do anything to stay in control, even if it means

yeah, no shit. what else is new? when have these dictators ever cared about their people? just power-hungry bastards.

get real, dude, most of these regimes are US backed, stop acting like it's some surprise they're

it's not that unbelievable. they're just doing what any power-hungry government will do. killing civilians isn't a guarantee of clinging to power.

same energy in some "democracies" tho. remember the protests last year and cops went wild

what's the url suppose to prove, though?

y'all act like the US doesn't have a thing or two to learn from them, lol

can we talk about how this is not just some far-off issue, but we've got authoritarian regimes in

wow, that's brutal. guess those leaders really didn't get the memo about "serve the people" 🤷‍♀️

i guess that's one way to solve the pension crisis

idk man, isn't that a pretty obvious statement? are you just now realizing authoritarian regimes

Agreed, it's not just about clinging to power, but also about silencing anyone who might expose the depths of their corruption and human rights abuses.

omg yes and its even more infuriating when the international community just watches and does

damn, for real? so what are hte rest of us supposed to do about it then?

dude, are you kidding me? the usa has been doing the same thing for decades, domestically and

what a load of crap. those regimes do what they need to stay in power, who cares if they kill a few people. that's just politics, grow up.

yeah what's even more unbelievable is how often we blame the "radical" extremities of these govts while ignoring the

what's the point of sharing this if you're not gonna say a thing about the us' role in propping

yeah no kidding, it's like they're trying to win some kinda twisted award for 'most creative ways

great, now they're after you for praising reddit

yeah, it's like they think they're above the law and can just do whatever they want.

same energy, different oppressor. meanwhile, people still wonder why activists risk everything to speak out

idk, man, that's a pretty broad brush. authoritarian regimes don't all take lives for the sake of clinging to power. some may, but calling them all out for it is oversimplifying.

yeah okay, lets not reduce a complex geopolitical issue to a catchy soundbite...

cmon dude, not all authoritarian regimes are the same. lets not generalize based on a few shady examples

What's unbelievable is that we often let our own gov get away with similar tactics while calling others out for it

what exactly did you think they'd do, audiblenod? have a change of heart and start cuddling their

yep because getting shotouttaamobilitycarriedoutofhorror isn't literally clinging to power.

so are you actually doing anything about it or just typing into the void on reddit?

ugh no shit, that's kinda the definition of authoritarian, isn't it? stop acting like this is news

that's a simplification, innocent people die in conflicts all the time, regardless of the regime.

how do we stop this cycle of violence and oppression? it's heartbreaking to see leaders willing to harm their own people just to hold onto power.

not unbelievable at all, that's exactly what authoritarian regimes do, it's why they're called authoritarian

true. it's just sickening how far they'll go to stay in control. no regard for human life whatsoever.

are you finally saying what we're all thinking about the state of our country?

yeah no kidding, like they're not even trying to hide it at this point lol

At least they're practicing for their leadership roles in a zombie apocalypse.

damn, that's heavy. guess they never heard the saying 'power corrupts, absolute power corrupts .

not buying it. how do we even know whats going on over there?

lmao reddit user knows a thing or two about clinging to power

yeah that's like the football playoffs except the players aren't good enough and the coaches are still getting paid lol

r you seriously acting like this is some shocking new thing? governments have been killing their own citizens for centuries, get a grip
