    u mad bro?

    Now who’s unserious

    Russia, Iran, China. Textbook definitions of Authoritarian government.

    So authoritarianism is when designated state enemy that the US wants to bomb. Refreshingly honest for someone who probably wouldn’t admit to being an American jingoist otherwise. No but for real, tell me a definition, not what you think are examples. You do know what words mean, right?

    Cool racism bro

    Netanyahu

    Who did you vote for this past election? And hey, how about Zelensky, is he An Authoritarian? Why or why not?

    Your entire circular reasoning boils down to “you are bad because you love the bad guys and probably want to kiss them, and they are bad guys because they are bad guys because they are bad guys”.

    Your ideology is a formless sludge of floating signifiers and pavlovian response-conditioning, and you probably don’t even consider yourself propagandized. classic

      Thank you for confirming you are, in fact, a Chinese nationalist.

      I don’t even need to highlight exactly how I know, you are well aware. You don’t have a choice, and I understand that. I also understand that you literally cannot let this go, as you have been trained not to. To let it go would bring harm to the Party.

      And I literally did give you the definition, but your cognitive dissonance seems to have ignored it entirely. After giving you the definition, I gave you present day examples.

      If you need more definitions, I can gladly oblige. I don’t need to look up the definition of Authority: "The power to enforce laws, exact obedience, command, determine, or judge. "

      So therefore, an authoritarian is one who favors absolute obedience to those who have power to enforce laws, exact obedience, command, determine, or judge.
