      Define “authoritarian” without using the word “authoritarianism” or variations thereof or “totalitarian” or variations thereof.

          I appreciate some attempt at answering it, but I gotta be honest and say it seems pretty dogshit so far. I clicked on the “proof” that “showing any support for Ukriane would get you banned” and the post is inaccesible, the comment is too and the only context I have is some user, who has since received a bunch other moderation strikes, claims that they just wrote “slava ukraini”. On what post? No clue. Given how often someone makes up some story about how they were just a uwu smol bean who totally just said “I think we should all be friends” and then the mean evil [outgroup] just BANNED them out of the blue!! Then I have my doubts on that one.
          So I looked for some other comment that might showing a large group of ml users declaring their undying love for neoliberal russia, the oligarch putin, and a hatred for all things marxist. In lack of that I clicked on the post that had undeniable PROOF of the admin of .ml declaring his wholehearted support for RUSSIA only to see… A common meme

          If this counts as proof that this guy supports everything about Russia, may I then say it is safe to assume you love:

          You know, since apparently sharing a meme that indicates any sort of support for a country means you support everything about it. I just want to make sure. And before you respond with “well Russia is bad too” or “whataboutism” or something like that, let me make it clear: I think Russia sucks and I hope the country undergoes major changes. My question here isn’t to justify some international action, it’s to make sure I understand your logic.

          After this point of link-clicking it kind of seemed to me like the links didn’t really prove anything or say what they said, and were more just something made by some guy who was butthurt at leftists, so I stopped looking. Please share me any specific link if you have one. Let me know if I missed a “good one” in the aggregation of things that don’t describe what they claim to describe.
