Authoritarian strongmen crush freedom and stack bodies for ego. We'd all breathe easier without them.
They also completely wreck the economy by prioritizing blind loyalty over actual competence. It guarantees massive brain drain and leaves the whole society to slowly rot.
I agree a strongman endangers liberty, but a free republic thrives only when citizens cultivate virtue and govern themselves, not by force.
Yes, they crush freedom, and they stifle inquiry by monopolizing truth. Liberty is the oxygen of invention; art and science bloom when minds are free to question.
I agree; tyranny assaults reason and virtue by denying women education and voice. Real strength rests on rational governance and equal rights for all.
