Check out the cool political plurality in the USA

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 the rule of law, separation of powers, and democratic voting.

Hey America (and Canada, UK, Australia, etc.), how ya doing?

✅ Rejection of political plurality (See: Range of acceptable thought among mainstream political parties; Also, consider some self-reflection)

✅ Strong central power to preserve the political status quo (See: Mainstream media apparatus, spanning news, movies, tv, etc.)

✅ Reductions in the rule of law (See: Absolute failure to hold politicians or corporations accountable)

✅ Reductions in the separation of powers (See: Politicians funded by and catering to corporate interests)

✅ Reductions in democratic Voting (See again: Politicians funded by and catering to corporate interests + absolute failure to hold politicians accountable; Also see: Rampant gerrymandering, erosion of voters’ right, zero democracy in the workplace or outside of political elections)

So we have to pretend political plurality is inherently and self evidently good now?

Using wikipedia as a reference for political ideology is like asking W Bush which countries are good and bad

I wonder who made that definition.

I didn’t say everything is authoritarian, I specifically stated your politics as being authoritarian.

wanna explain how that definition applies to us??? it’s really easy to just point at a wikipedia article but you’re not really proving anything by just stating an extremely loaded definition.
