    लोकतंत्र में आपके हुक्मरानों को चुनना शामिल है, क्योंकि वे आपको बता चुके हैं कि आप क्या सुनना चाहते हैं।

    ժողովրդավարությունը բաղկացած է ձեր բռնապետերին ընտրելուց հետո, երբ նրանք ձեզ կասեն, թե ինչ եք ուզում լսել:

    demokrati består i å velge dine diktatorer, etter at de har fortalt deg hva det er du vil høre.

    ஜனநாயகம் என்பது உங்கள் சர்வாதிகாரிகளைத் தேர்ந்தெடுப்பதை உள்ளடக்கியது, நீங்கள் என்ன கேட்க விரும்புகிறீர்கள் என்று அவர்கள் சொன்ன பிறகு.

    ప్రజాస్వామ్యం మీ నియంతలను ఎన్నుకోవడాన్ని కలిగి ఉంటుంది, మీరు ఏమి వినాలనుకుంటున్నారో వారు మీకు చెప్పిన తర్వాత.

    جمہوریت آپ کے آمروں کا انتخاب کرنے پر مشتمل ہوتی ہے ، جب انہوں نے آپ کو یہ بتانے کے بعد کہ آپ کیا سننا چاہتے ہیں۔

    דעמאָקראַסי באשטייט אין טשוזינג דיין דיקטאַטאָרס נאָך זיי האָבן דערציילט וואָס איר ווילט צו הערן.

    民主包括在您告诉独裁者您想听到的内容之后,再选择他们。
