The problem is with scale. All the other dictators you mentioned know you personally , and probably care about you or care enough as long as it benefits them. The dictators everyone is talking about don’t know you or your family, friends, school and probably town if you are from a small one. Now, when they make decisions do you think they think about you or ilk? You will be treated as if you don’t exist and your cries are just as heard as much as that crushed ant beneath your feet. Representative government matters because it gives everyone a voice and power to change things if stuff doesn’t work out.
