But my comment was questioning OP's suggestion that the incident was tied to authoritarianism.
- dylan604 4y agoYou do realize I wasn't describing a hypothetical situation, right?
- ellrob88 4y agoI kinda assumed you were referring to Trump (?) But my point all along has been that "youtube personality getting house firebombed" != "ridiculous authoritarianism in Australia". If you are arguing against this point, I may need you to explain further.
