Ummmm achually America has become authoritarian under trump 
it wasn't before though
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
Since when is the WSJ European?
Europe is a vestigial organ of amerikkka, all their political opinions that don't arise out of some petty medieval ethnic feud are imported directly from us. We tell them to fuck their economies by cutting Russian gas, they do it.

Not always the defining factor (see East Germany) but it definitely amplifies the existing class hatred
Tasmania deftly evading American targeting while the rest of Australia falls victim
Maybe to most Conservative westerners. I'm always a little puzzled about why people around the world seem to think American = Redneck Republican. At least that's what comes through on social media. But I guess it's only fair, since we think French = Snotty Waiters, Australian = Crocodile Dundee, etc.
The issue is that there are also many "progressives" who are like this, ex: supporting the kidnapping of the president of Venezuela or the invasion of Iran. Just because someone might be less bigoted to queer people or immigrants it doesn't mean they're any less imperialist, unfortunately. And this isn't just a problem over there of course, I know too many people from my country who side with our comprador elite rather than workers like them.
Would it make any difference if they thought all yanks were vote genocide no matter who radlibs?
Liberal westerners are no better on this
