That's where we disagree.
How can despots succeed except that sufficient numbers of "our fellow humans" are simply unwilling to live their own rights, speak their own truths, always waiting for external authorities, repeatedly voting for despots to rule over them?
How can you believe there won't simply be more despots come to power?
what's the point of being a despot if it gets you killed on the spot
So assassination (and AP) have many problems, just a few of which have been discussed on this list in the last few years. Folks tend to grasp for an imagined silver bullet, overlooking events of history which might teach us something such as the assassination of Arch Duke Ferdinand and the consequent World War I. The price of an individual stand for a fundamental human right can carry far better outcomes. A number of folks so living a fundamental right, will undoubtedly shift our reality. Find such folks.
