The hilarious thing about this is that the modern authoritarian doesn't respect the engineer or the scientist either.

- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

MODERATORS
Outside of very ancient times, where many regimes we consider authoritarian were closer to an electoral technocracy anyway, I don't think even half of the totalitarian governments respected science or technology. And when they did, it was usually because somebody was forcing the leader's hand.
It's more of a trait of democracies.
