    Colombia and Brazil are defending Maduro.

    And yes, I’m asking why Europe sides with the US in the glaringly illegal abduction of a foreign president

      People (note that I’m saying people, not whatever authoritarian figure you simp for) are celebrating this, from Brazil, to Colombia, and in Venezuela. Get a grip.

        Hahahaha Lula da Silva and Gustavo Petro, the democratically elected prime ministers of both countries, are authoritarian figures. Average European lmfao

          Then maybe obviously I meant it as “authority”, not “dictatorship”? What people want versus what the higher ups want. Police is also authority. That word has multiple definitions my dude. Context matters.

                There is no definition of “authoritarian” as “authority” in common English language, you’re trying to redefine words. The word you mean is “authority figure” or “authoritative”.

                  Having authority over most of the subjects means being an authoritarian figure amongst those subjects. How much of an authoritarian a leader is, is another question. When I said “authority versus people”, again, I quite clearly meant voices of people versus voices of prime ministers and presidents who probably have different dealings going on.

                  The word “figure” plays a rather important role, as I never said “authoritarians”.
