Russia gets called authoritarian every day
yeah but Russians are considered Asiatic mongrels by the Europeans, they’re the orcs and aren’t really white you see
Source?
the whole orc narrative and Russian hordes narrative has very much been embraced by western media over the past four years https://web.archive.org/web/20260414080035/https://spectator.com/article/why-are-ukrainians-calling-russian-invaders-orcs/?edition=us

Nah, authoritarian is basically a term for any system of governance that’s different from western liberal capitalism originating in Europe. Russia has never been seen as truly European in the west, this is basically what the whole untermensch narrative nazis embraced is based on. In the Nazi racial hierarchy, being “white” or “Aryan” was not a given for all Europeans. Instead, an internal hierarchy existed where Nordic peoples were at the top, and Slavs were placed at the bottom, akin to non-European races. And these are the values Europeans very much embrace to this day.
