    The united states has the world's largest prison population by both total incarcerated and percentage of the total population. People from the US calling any other country authoritarian is fucking hilarious, and should make it clear how little meaning the word actually has in common usage.

      I never claimed the U.S. wasn't authoritarian. I think the U.S. is in fact extremely authoritarian, maybe even on the same level as China.
