I think its clear that I am saying that Russia is an oppressive country with goals of being an empire. I am saying that it is wrong for them to do so, and more generally wrong for anyone to do so. Hence me calling them authoritarian and comparing them to the GOP.
So what descriptors are useful?
What are you trying to describe?

Okay, well say those things instead then.
I did all along. That is where my use of the word authoritarian is coming from.
Okay, but do you see what I am trying to communicate?
Use different language that isnt connected to a holocaust trivialization attempt.
So what form of authoritarian is Russia so that i can use the word for them?
I feel like you’re trying to argue when I’m trying very clearly to communicate,
“Your comments will be moderated if you keep using the word authoritarian”
So is it wrong to say that the US is authoritarian? Would that be trivializing the holocaust?
