    “Authoritarianism” doesn’t mean anything in the vast majority of cases in which it is invoked. Every political discussion would be improved if we could just completely eliminate this framework and force the discussion to be on more meaningful terms. It’s at the level of “woke” or “tankie” in the sense that it mostly just means “something the speaker doesn’t like” with absolutely zero additional analysis.
