I don't particularly care as that wasn't my point. My point was to disagree with your comment prior which stated that authoritarian as a term was mainly used as a truncheon against communist nations in order to increase support for capitalism, which it isn't.
Yeah, what they should have said is that authoritarianism as a term is mainly used as a truncheon against non Western countries in order to increase support for Western hegemony, which it absolutely is.
Yeah, but you doing that is unhelpful. It is confusing people because that is not a reasonable place to find criticism with the argument. Too much precision is not helpful in arguments and the CIA literally ran propaganda programs to get people to try to bog down any discussion of communism with meaningless minutiae. So, do better or something.

You are correct, I should have picked my words more precisely, thanks for explaining what I meant better than I could have
I disagree but that at least would have been a better argument
And you disagree why?

It is helpful because it's not about having too much precision, he made a bullshit argument and I found it ridiculous.
I'm not sure you if you can see my pronouns because federation is still kinda confusing to me, but I go by they/them please thanks ❤
Didn't see but will keep in mind for the future, sorry and thank you for understanding
No worries mate ☺️
Look at the replies? Was it really helpful? No. I am glad you found it emotionally validating but that is not reason enough do to all that.
Yeah cause I only comment when I think everyone's gonna agree with me
