    Literally all governments are definitionally authoritarian, it’s a stupid criticism

      Absolutely not! I encourage you to re-read the definition of authoritarianism and research a bit more about the governments all around the world!

          Ah! So you consider that every single restriction a country applies makes it authoritarian. Yeah, I don’t think you understand authoritarianism, and in today’s context, that’s dangerous.

          But I won’t lose sleep over it!

            Whichever western shithole nation you’re from is complicit in more atrocities and crimes against humanity in the past decade than China has been in a fucking century, you’re either an incurable moron or a fed, embarassing either way

              I’m aware, and yet, that is not what an authoritarian government is… But sure, continue to spread your ignorance and double down with dull insults, that will do a lot!
