MODERATORS
"Dictatorship" is not just a synonym for any unelected leader. Begging you people to learn what the words you use mean
Dictators can still be voted for, and many of them are through highly rigged elections. A burecrat is someone who's appointed to a position of power, which'd be closer in alignment with that definition. Really I don't think either term would apply here in good faith.
Oligarch is right there, but these people wanna misuse every term they hear.
There's also plenty of people put in positions of power that aren't classified as bureaucrats (like the Catholic clergy, a bunch of different regional administrators of the byzantine, latin and SEA Empires)
