"No, but at the very least you can stop making allowances for their past lack of ethics?"
I never attempted to justify the ethics of tyrants. The rest of the paragraph is obsolete by this fact.
"Stop deluding yourself into thinking that you're standing up for anyone but yourself. Just because you're standing up for people not to judged for crime they have not committed, doesn't mean you just ignore those are actually committing crimes in the first place."
I do not support criminal acts. From now on have the common courtesy to quote me when I support unethical acts.
"That's not what I'm talking about. What I am referring to is the unadulterated fact that Democracy is using the tactics of tyrants to further Democracy's goals and that, in and of itself, is UNdemocratic."
You are free to report them to the police and post/link what you believe proves that these crimes are taking place on this message board.
"What do I call this system, with all it's flaws? What term do I give Democracy when Democracy isn't holding up to Democracy's expectations?"
"Those who continue to taut Democracy as the greatest ideal, while at same ignoring and CHOOSING to remain ignorant that those fighting in the Democracy's name are causing just as much suffering and pain as past tyrants are SLAVES. Mindless, fucking slaves."
Democracy is not perfect and does not solve all crime. Tyranny makes it astronomically easier for criminals to enter positions of power and commit devastating crimes, therefore democracy is more desirable. I do not claim democracy is 100%perfect or that crimes committed by those in a democracy are justified.

If you think inadequate proof for assertions and putting words into opponents and critic's mouths is acceptable, I certainly hope there aren't too many of you in my democracy.
