Everyone is a little bit authoritarian. It's the intent and end result that gives it meaning. You don't see France being criticised these days do you despite their citizenry being vocal about their regime's mismanagement. We've even seemingly had a Western media blackout effectively on it for the past month (they've had riots/protests).

When was the last time France massacred protestors by using tanks to turn them into red paste?

When was the last time France rounded up its citzens based on ethbicity and religion and put them into reeducation camps?

Western media blackout? Maybe in your bubble mate, though I tend to follow these things deliberately so I'm not best placed to say. Western media is a joke regardless - owned and controlled by a few wealthy and powerful individuals, who sadly almost all hold similar politics beliefs.
