Life isn't fair. Russia invading Ukraine wasn't fair.
In order to change the government of a dictatorship, someone would need to take the initiative to overthrow the government. This could be ordinary people, but the military or elites would have the best chance of pulling it off. But, there needs to be some pressure to change, or everyone will keep muddling along as things are.
I am not sure you could make this statement and also be consistent.
For example, are you in favor to repeal the American with Disabilities Act. What about repealing Medicaid ? or to end progressive taxation ?
If any of your answers is no, then you aren't being consistent, and it is likely that re-examining your position is warranted.
??????????????
How did you pick those particular things??? What???????
Edit: Oh, I think I get it, you're conflating "Sometimes there is no fair solution." with "Nobody should ever try to be fair." or something like that. That's a ridiculous argument, then.
