Oh this is actually very helpful as I’ve been confused about the term “totalitarian” as it’s been used in so many different contexts it’s hard to figure out what it actually means. At best I’ve seen people use it interchangeably with “authoritarian.”
Authoritarian is when they don't like a state. The more the don't like that state, the more authoritarian it is. And when they really hate it, it's totalitarian.
Yeah it's the same thing as calling a country bad or evil, but with a big word that sounds academic. You can get away with saying the most horrific shit here if it's spoken in formal language.
Meh. I hope that they have fun without this. They clearly would have benefitted from it.
I almost want to laugh seeing them unjokingly using the term ‘totalitarian’, which is usually a clue that somebody hasn’t been keeping up with modern historical scholarship. If they were writing in the 20th century then I could understand that, but being a totalitarian theorist in the 2020s should be pretty embarrassing.

”Authoritarian” is another one — what does it mean? If you go by the dictionary, why doesn’t the U.S. get included?

or literally everything ever. Every relation and structure in sociology uses some degree of authority.
