Buz, please have a visit to the Amnesty International website here: Home | Amnesty International UKIt's a charity which, amongst other things, stands up for the rights of people who are the victims of genuinely despotic regimes around the world. The details are harrowing. (Type in "broken bottle" in the search engine on the library page, for a starter).Please bear in mind that characterising the duly elected leader of a democracy as a despot not only gives your views the appearance of being ridiculous - it is insulting to the thousands of victims of actual despotism around the world.

If you look at one interpretation of the phrase "you didn't build that" (ie "You didn't build that on your own - you needed help from other people too"), then I can agree with what you're saying.The problem is that by quoting the phrase on its own, and out of its context, then it allows alternative interpretations of the phrase (eg "You had no part in building that" or "that was already there and you didn't add to it").I suspect that the purpose in quoting the phrase on its own, out of context, was to allow for the alternative, more insulting interpretations, which inclusion of the context would clearly rule out.
