CMV: the world will enter an era of practically eternal oppression

People who are motivated to help others tend to enter fields where they can help others such as medicine. People who are sociopathic and selfish tend to enter fields where they can gain power such as politics and business. Unethical and evil tactics such as blackmail, lying, and killing give massive advantages towards rising to the top and gaining power. Therefore, sociopathic and evil people tend to rise to positions of power as genuinely good people are not capable of competing.

In the past, dictatorships have been overturned through revolutions, wars, and the death of leaders. Most people are inherently followers so in order to start a revolution there must be a leader figure. It also takes planning to start a revolution. With modern day technology, the government can spy on people through cell phones and computers. Facial recognition technology combined with GPS on cell phones can ensure that they have information on the whereabouts of everyone at any time. For that reason, it is impossible for a leader figure to incite a revolution because the leader figure will be silenced before they can do anything.

But what if a revolution does get going? If it does, it has no hope of succeeding against an authoritatian government in the future. Automated drones, tanks, and missiles already exist. The direction we are headed in is automated warfare. The government need only have control of an army of automated weapons to completely destroy any sort of civilian uprising. In the past, there was a possibility of the police and military also turning on the government. That possibility will not exist once the military is comprised mainly of machines.

But what about the natural death of dictators? Given enough time someone better should come along and change things? In the future, it is entirely possible that near immortality will be achievable through better medicine and genetic editing. Leaders will stay in power for very long periods of time.

Democracy is the most stable, least corrupt and most rigid power structure there is when its established correctly.

Your point that dictators just wont die naturally is really weird. How many in history have been killed? What about accidents? Not only that, but when there is a powerful dictator, the power vacuum they leave usually plunges he country into chaos immediately. Mostly because law and order were based on fear. 

Furthermore, all the richest most powerful countries are democratic, and all the most economically, security and ethically challenged countries are loose dictatorships or military juntas. Where is this worldwide “eternal” oppression coming from exactly?

You argue that surveillance technology will necessarily crush organization but that’s outrageous as well. Security is an arms race that nobody can win. For every measure, there is a countermeasure. At the end of the day its just people that control things, so all it takes is one non-loyalist in an important position to undermine security.
