Just one man's opinion but I would prefer *not* to live in an increasingly authoritarian society. Things don't tend to work out very well for people like me in authoritarian societies.

I don't feel I live in an increasingly authoritarian society but I do feel I live in an increasingly incompetent one and that worries me arguably more

People are “othered” depending on the whims of the authoritarian. Today’s “in-group” is tomorrow’s “blindfolded up against the wall” group.

Things don't work out well for anyone other than the autocrat. I think that's the defining characteristic. So, how can everyone else survive the wrath of an authoritarian regime?

Although you could point out to the censors that most of your characters must actually be supporting the regime, if you go by what they're saying.

Things don't tend to work out very well for the authoritarians either. It's just not good for anybody.

Authoritarian doesn’t go far enough. Call it what it is: a dictatorship.

the grim irony is that it's not even guaranteed to work out very well for The Most Perfect Skull-Haver if you become even mildly inconvenient to any one of the myriad people who can use force with impunity

I don't understand the mindset of those that do. They clearly don't have the mental capacity to see that they'll have no power. Too dumb to realize how unimportant they are.
