authoritarians of any side deprecate liberal values (ie, individual liberty) & treat the individual as an expendable means to (rather than the nonexpendable ends of) their illiberal agenda

I notice you didn't mention the lack of democratic rights for a particular group of people in the United States after there was challenge to the monarchy. Y'know, as the revolution was happening, slave freedom petitions were already pointing out the obvious contradiction in a democracy where most people couldn't vote. The US has legal routes to forced labour and denied democratic rights today extending back to the 1860s.

It has never been democratic as you are using the word, it has always wielded the idea of democracy to the benefit of its privileged class though.

You are a chud though, the talking points all over your profile could be AI generated they're so typical. Might be even.

Not surprising, considering I have that user tagged Zionist for repeatedly defending Israel
