back to @GrenfelArsonist's posts@nitrrogen__ Autocracies weren't the norm aside roughly from roughly a few hundred years from the rise of absolutism till the revolutions of '48.
Though really its silly to think of Russia today as an autocracy and arguably the Tsars were autocrats for the most part in name only.

Autocracies based on brutal suppression have been the historic norm in Europe (and the world) for the entirety of human history. Liberalism is an unnatural disease - not the other way around. x.com/GunterFehlinge… (⊹)

@GrenfelArsonist He doesn't mean autocracy in the early modern sense, he just means authoritarian state.
