- ninetyninenine 1y agoAgreed. Authoritarian is what westerners don't like. They see it as an evil. I see it as one side of a coin. The yin to a yang.

- selfmodruntime 1y agoI always laugh a bit at comments like this. Trump is pompous and certainly admires authoritarians, but you Americans have no idea what a real authoritarian tyrant looks like.
- KingMob 1y agoIt's weird that you want to compete, but ok, here's your gold in the suffering Olympics.
- selfmodruntime 1y agoIt is seemingly great to achieve societal progress and modern living conditions, but the individuality and freedom of the individual suffers.
- ninetyninenine 1y agoDepends. Do you go out to protest and talk about social issues on the regular? If not and you live a normal life like most people, then you're generally not effected by this.
