                is the us-sponsored genocide in palestine not “authoritarian”?

                Fuck yeah it is, what kind of question is that?

              Yo, define authoritarian in a way that doesn’t include western bourgeois democracies or find a different word

              The whole “authoritarian” nonsense has its roots in holocaust trivialization attempts in countries that collaborated with the nazis.

                holocaust trivialization

                How exactly am I trying to excuse or deny the Holocaust? Are you suggesting that Russia and Israel bullying their smaller neighbor is not authoritarian? Are you suggesting Russia does not treat Central Asian nations the way the US treats those in Latin America? Bullying those around you is wrong no matter what party you are.

                  I would look to historians like Dovid Katz and search for “double genocide theory”, I would not like to make this an argument.

                  Please change your language when posting in the comm. “Authoritarian” and “totalitarian” are not useful descriptors and are historically connected to trying to equate the USSR and nazi Germany in order to do holocaust trivialization.
