      Is this really what passes for a micdrop moment with the pro-authoritarian crowd?

        All governments are authoritarian, that’s literally the entire point of a government 🙄.

          Acting with authority and being authoritarian are not the same, but goes to show how you can actually believe the shit you write

          Authoritarianism is a political system characterized by the rejection of political plurality, the use of strong central power to preserve the political status quo, and reductions in democracy, separation of powers, civil liberties, and the rule of law.

          I know it’s kinda leaning into the meme here, but I genuinely think you need to go read some at least basic political theory before you try and engage with this topic.
