What would you do if you lived in a dictatorship?

[DiegoO]

Not any dictatorship. I am referring of the ones that are not supported by most developed countries—who are aligned to a specific ideal of what's development and human rights.

I pointed out specifically those dictatorships that are not aligned with most developed countries, because if you do read history, you'll realize many other dictatorships have been sponsored by the dominant political ideology in an attemp to full stop or block the expanding rival ideological movement.

In addition to what I said: dictatorships that are sponsored by the dominant political culture, do not suffer economical blockage or heavy sanctions. Those that do, are heavily attacked.

Move. It is funny how folks think they can survive in one. The problem is that things can turn in a moment’s notice. Just look at Russia and Ukraine. One day everything is good. The next day Russia is coming across the border attacking the capital. You can’t have any stability with a dictatorship. No matter how seemingly benevolent. Because it swings on the whims and ambitions of one single person.

Tell me about it. In my country "La
Real Academia de la lengua española or RAE" (in English: The Royal Academy of the Spanish language) has being forcefully detach from the National representative of the academy—The: Academia nicaragüense de la lengua.

Now, the RAE has no ties with the country. Fucking insane, considering the first lady is an "intelectual". She basically wants to convert the country to a mini North Korea.

Wow man. That's just crazy. The weird thing is that every dictator knows more likely than not, things will end in a violent mess. And so do the members of the society. But everyone pretends to go along for the short term.

[DiegoO]

We already pass trough hell in the 80's. Here nobody wants another civil war.

[RolandCuthbert]

Believe me. They want a civil war. They are even threatening the lives of life long republicans.

[DiegoO]

The ones governing my country are surely looking for war. Everytime I listen to their speech, it sounds like they're stuck in the 70s-80s.

The Russian-Ukraine war isn't making things any better. Russia military force has been invited to settle in my country. Not that they haven't been invited before, but due to the conflict, the intention is much more obscure.

The US has serious concerns. It just means one thing: to finance guerrillas and gun traffict.

[DiegoO]

I also forgot to ad that Russia due have military bases in my country, reason why drones are ❌ banned for civilian use.

[OlderAndWiser]

The only thing to do is to look for a way to leave the country.

[NaultD]

Honestly a Hans Hubermann from the novel "the book thief." Hide runaways in my basement if i could or just runaway with them if i couldn't.

[ArtemisSilver]

Take the train, which would presumably run on time.

[OddBeMe]

Even if I agreed with the dicator i would fight it.

When you dont have political opposition, thats a sign you're in a dictatorship.

[legalboxers]

give it a few months.. people gonna find out real fast

[jshm2]

Like the one in the USA?

[DiegoO]

Whichever country you imagine yourself.

[menina]

I would try to find a way of leaving the country.

[TheMajesticKing777]

Try to survive and get away from it if I can

[exitseven]

I would start a revolt.

[Adronicus]

Plant seeds in the minds of others to grow.

[Dargil]

Defect elsewhere.
