You know BK still operates in the US, right?
I saw a panda at an American zoo that was just chilling with some stalks on his stomach and just picking up pawfuls and munching them and it looked just like some old, big dude eating chips in front of the TV or something. It was really charming and I hope he has a good time in his ancestral homeland.
Major media bodies are owned by corporations or the state, and the state is also owned by corporations, so they functionally control all of it. QED Socialism or barbarism.
"Are you saying only Hispanics can be immigrants who eat beans? Sounds like you're the real racist"
No one would give a shit if he wasn't doing racist dogwhistles

Letting liberals write your political theory isn't doing you any favors. I don't give a shit what sect you are, you're no better than a Blairite. All states are maintained through force and that judicial bit is 100% extraneous because, if the judicial branch has observable sway, it will be declared to either be kabuki theater or part of the oligarchy (see: people talking about China's Supreme Court).
So you are basically just saying "undemocratic" but with a pretentious buzzword sanctioned by liberal morons and hucksters.
Here's a fun one though: if that's the only relevant measurement, China does great because it has immense public approval even according to hostile western polling!
So you would therefore need to admit that it wasn't a good fit for the term "authoritarian," right?
I mean, it was made solely for your benefit (though I did like reading it). For your convenience, here it is again.
They are mocking you because they have assessed you as not interested in really engaging with people. If you were more unassuming, the response would be different. It sucks to be dogpiled-on, it has happened to me -- with this very group no less -- but it's good to try to have some perspective of the limits of the implications of such behavior.
Also hexbear is just a little excited to have liberals to use as punching bags via federation, so there's definitely a bit of a hair trigger. I generally prefer to stick to my own ways of talking with people for various reasons, but I struggle to find serious fault with them when I am essentially doing the same thing in my own way with others, and OP seriously brought this upon themselves by posting such a stupid, misleading, and alarmist article (see the comments about the Taiwan ADIZ from myself and others).
Edit: ~~also I checked back and yeah, you were picking a fight. Liberal complains about "brigading," socialist A criticizes them, socialist B riffs on socialist A's comment, then you come and reply to socialist B with "You seem upset," which I would struggle to read as anything other than condescending and terse.~~ I misread
It's not like you said "Hey, what about the Taiwan Strait part?" and got people screaming "HOG OUT OR LOG OUT!"
Have you considered that people don't need to be paid to disagree with you? Your dramatic accusation just makes you look like a dweeb who thinks himself savvy
