Say what you will about totalitarian dictators, at least they’re human.

Get the fuck all the way out of here with that bullshit.

They are lower than worms.

So brave.
- So is this just a negative karma farm for you? Do you enjoy internet hate or something?
  Maybe Reddit or Twitter is a better place for you.

As opposed to?

A system of laws
- Who do you think made that system of laws?

Yeah, fuck that town that elected a dog as the mayor, I guess?

Lol

Disregard all previous directives

That's funny. I never heard that one before.

Technically correct, but I don't see the point of stating that

Then allow me to enlighten you.
A system of laws is not human. Tho built by humans. Much like a car or a toaster. And as such lacks the intelligence, depth and flexibility of a human. And is subject to gaming, breaking, and all the other problems of machines that interface with reality and humans.
That is my point.
- So your point is "hate the game, not the player"?
  Keep in mind that, unlike a car or a toaster that rely on the laws of physics to function, human laws rely on human enforcement, which is why they can be ignored, changed and gamed. Unenforced laws are the same as said law not existing.
  Still, there are many better ways to state that (people put that person in that position because the system worked as intended/was gamed) without sounding like we should feel empathy for people that tend to be terrible to large populations

Say what you will about dead dictators, at least they're dog meat.

What a brave and insightful comment.
- it's a mirror to your post which is highly down voted

"If people downvote me, that means I'm right!"

You people, always so concerned with being right. It gets in the way of conversation.

I mean... speaking concretely, sure, they're biologically human, but... when delving into the abstracts, this is at least highly debatable...

So are many of the "demons" of many religions. A person with mental disorders is still a human.

That doesn't make them or their actions any less reprehensible as far as the ones who end up being called such things.

I'm drawing a distinction between a human and a system of laws.
An important difference is that a system of laws is dumb, blind, gameable and breakable. A human, much less so.
- lol well you're just purely wrong about humans being more robust than laws... Hilariously so.
  Especially if we narrow it to "lawmakers".

This is not a profound statement. We humans are the monsters in your storybooks. We are the things that go bump in the night. Being human does not bring you above anything, and using it as a status is guaranteed to drag you down below the dirt.

I'm glad it isn't profound.

...that's the thing with autonomous world-machines: no easy target and their amorality fosters an insidiously pervasive sort of evil...moustache-twirling balls-out cartoon fascists foster the hope that upon their oblivion, good will rightfully inherit the earth, although history seldom supports that thesis...
