Authoritarianism is a meaningless term that people with lack of capacity for rational thought regurgitate. Every single government holds authority by virtue of having the monopoly on legal violence. The only question is whose interest the authority is exercised in.

That's just bullshit. Authoritarianism has a clear-cut definition that goes beyond "the government has authority on legal violence" and you know it.

This isn't reddit, please be respectful when disagreeing. You're not going to win any converts by alienating people.

Why didn’t you apply that critique to this:

thoritarianism is a meaningless term that people with lack of capacity for rational thought regurgitate

Did you simply not notice the alienating language there, because you agreed with the sentiment?

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's telling that you failed to provide any actual definition for the term.

[–] friendlymessage -4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm not gonna waste my time. Any definition I would provide you would dismiss as "western propaganda" anyway.

I suppose actually having to define things would take your valuable time away from trolling here.
