Again, this is not something that I feel strongly enough about to go to bat for, but I've watched a couple of videos essays over the years. The argument is essentially that many governments that are called authoritarian have very little in common besides being considered enemies of those in capitalist power. Therefore the government and the media paint them all with the same evil-sounding brush. I think I've heard this argument is more valid for the word 'totalitarian', but I would need to do more research.

It's probably because PugJesus got mad at me for claiming that 'authoritarian' isn't a valid political term and exists primarily to lump together fascist and communist regimes. It's not something I believe(d) particularly strongly, but I've heard it multiple times and it feels right, so I parroted it and ended up on this subreddit.
Parliament must remain neutral
That's horseshit, there's nothing neutral about parliamentary proceedings, and there shouldn't be.
Obviously this shouldn't have happened, but this is a good reminder to never associate your real identity with your social media accounts. If your job/hobby requires that you do so for self-promotion reasons, that is all that you should do on that account.
Or use an open source slicer and a home-built printer. My Ender has so few original parts that I named it "Ender of Threeseus".
They're 100% right and phrased it as nicely as possible.
Wow, I always kind of thought the "just asking questions" thing was overblown, but your obtuseness is impressive.
Damn, I didn't realize the Yen had gotten so weak. I was still using the "drop two zeroes" rule.
"'Do you have games on your phone?"
Is it at all possible that they were interpreting the "bulges" thing as trans related? Not to say that it is, but it seems more likely than the TRN thing.

As I've said, I'm not really trying to get into a debate here. I only settled on the phrase "in capitalist power" because "enemies of the West" seemed a little too conspiratorial, but it's closer to the idea I was going for.
