Besides the fact that we naturally evolved toward them since everything else we tried so far was worse ? And the fact that people are fleeing authoritarian regimes risking their lives to get into democratic ones daily yet the opposite never happened ?
> After all, democracies have exterminated continents full of people, democracies have practiced race-based slavery and the only form of government to have nuked civilians is a democracy. Hell democracies have attacked and destroyed more democracies around the world than authoritarians have.
When you put lions in cages they're still lions.
> Instead of focusing on silly labels, why not focus on deeds/actions/results/etc.
Right, open an history book and it'll be painfully obvious that the vast majority of authoritarian regimes are worse than being "not inherently good".
> It's funny how we conveniently forget that even nazi germany rose from a democracy.
It's neither funny nor forgotten. It's also pretty clear germany and their neighbours weren't better off after being under dictatorship. It's almost as if desperate times lead to desperate measures... more than democracy leading to authoritarianism.
> the only form of government to have nuked civilians is a democracy.
The US is as far away as you can get from democracy and still call it a democracy.
