Online Public Relations Thoughts

Communications by force never resolves anything.  Resentment lingers and sooner or later erupts, which necessitates more force to shut it down. Dictators rule by violence, but they too have their limits.  Putin won't live forever nor Kim Jong Un.  Both depend on massive security operations to keep their people under control.  The only enduring communications is persuasion in which minds are changed and agreement reached.  Yet, dictatorships won't go away.  The temptation to seize and hold power is too strong: Democracies are always in danger.  Free speech and persuasion take too long and are too messy for dictators to abide, so communications by force will remain a human condition.
