      I don’t see how “blind submission to authority” could be any more clear cut than it is.

        Explain to me what that actually means, what “blind submission” actually entails. You’re just going off of vibes

          Not being able to disagree with how your government conducts business without legal punishment.

          Non authoritarian states don’t have dissidents in exile or political prisoners.

            Nowhere is it illegal to simply “disagree” with a government. I’ve realized over time that when liberals say this, they’re doing their own version of the conservative "I was banned simply for disagreeing! You never state what the actual disagreement is because as soon as you bring the conversation out of the realm of stories and vague shadowy political urban legends and into the realm of evidence, it quickly falls apart every time. That’s why you always retreat to your faith-based non falsifiable orthodoxy where anything that paints rival states in a bad light must be true and anything that paints them in a good light must be insidious lies.

            Name literally any state and I will show you dissidents in exile and political prisoners

            Yes! Finally an actual definition. Although, I don’t think any state in existence fits these criteria.
