You are being downvoted but I agree with you. Of course there is a difference of degree but it is the same mechanics. I come from a country run by authoritarians, and it is the same. Some people seem to think authoritarians admit they are the bad bad guys oppressing the people,but they ALWAYS see themselves as the champions of morality, high values and justice. It is the other group of nasty people who dare to confront their vision who need to be discarded. It reminds me also of a funny and universal thing I have noticed for example on Reddit. Moderators of subreddits, many of them dedicated to noble causes and ideas and supposedly anti system tend to be extremely autocratic and arbitrary in their decisions, even the worst judge in America would be more level headed.
