    Why is it so hard for liberals to admit that autocrats can become popular, too? Some of history’s most beloved politicians — the Caesars, Napoleon Bonaparte and even Abraham Lincoln — were all dictatorial in some way, yet their popularity persists to the present!

    I have no interest in advocating for autocracy, but underestimating the enemy can be the biggest mistake that somebody can make, which is one of the reasons that the Ukrainian army is losing the fight against the Russian Federation. If these dullards want to take their enemies seriously then the first thing that they should do is outgrow their absurdly simplistic ‘LIBERALISM GOOD, EVERYTHING ELSE BAD’ binary.
