A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I dictatorship would mean they'd die if they didn't do what you liked lol. It's in a government context, not a contractual obligation. A tennet can find another place to live, and a worker can find another company.

In what world does a dictatorship require everyone else to die if they don't agree? They have control over the institution, but they don't have total control over every individual.

You do not know what you are talking about. If you want to run your business as a democracy fine but you won’t be successful. I will continue running mine with an iron fist as a dictatorship.

It's literally the definition, you are just objectively wrong

Stealing anything from a place of business is unforgivable

I just imagine you as like a stiff Japanese business man and you're constantly holding up a katana, waiting to cut someone's head off for a petty crime.

Not far from the truth, but I am an all American businessman and as such prefer firearms to blades.
