The Guardian has identified a trainee nurse and reported US air force reservist called Bailey Ross as the proprietor of a white nationalist publisher in South Dakota.
Ross was also a paid-up member of a white nationalist organization that marched at Charlottesville while enlisted in the United States Coast Guard.
Ross’s company, Agartha Publishing, is part of a wave of extremist publishers using mainstream e-commerce platforms such as Amazon to sell lavishly repackaged fascist and anti-communist books.
Well I guess you don’t know what the word authoritarian means because the military is an authoritarian institution by definition and in practice.
This is the part where you define what you think authoritarianism is, and how that equates to using titles and wearing uniforms.
Nah I’m not your daddy or your teacher. I did my time.
This makes no sense, unless you know that you’re wrong.
We have to agree on the definitions of words to have a meaningful discussion. You clearly are working with some definition of “authoritarianism” that also includes wearing uniforms and saying sir. Before we can continue on, I need to at least know what you mean when you say "“authoritarianism”.
The only reason I can see why you’d refuse to give me this information that only you can give me is because you realize that your definition is not accurate.
So that is what I’m going to assume, for now.
Authoritarian was the word I used.
Yes, and what do you mean when you say that?
