Somehow this country is excluded from it:
Government vs Regime
Freedom fighter vs Terrorist
Expat vs Immigrant
Child vs Combat-age male
Police vs security forces
Intelligence services vs secret police
Trusted source vs Propaganda outlet
Media regulation vs State censorship
Rule of law vs Human rights violations
We should really document this language.

Ummmm achually America has become authoritarian under trump 
it wasn't before though
Since 1945... up to 2004 (according to the sources)
Was wondering why it looked so sparse
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
they’re the orcs and aren’t really white you see
Is there anything about the orcs being dark-skinned? You might be mixing up orcs with the Haradrim. Sometimes orcs are portrayed as green. 'Authoritarian' is a propaganda-term used chiefly about Stalin and Hitler; they're the type-examples. It might sometimes be used for black-skinned people like Mugabe or the Duvaliers, but less commonly; it's normally a term liberals use for the Soviet bloc and the fascists. They have other propaganda-terms for their dark-skinned rivals.
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.
Since when is the WSJ European?
Europe is a vestigial organ of amerikkka
Tasmania deftly evading American targeting while the rest of Australia falls victim
Unconditional support for the Tasmanian devil independence!
Not always the defining factor (see East Germany) but it definitely amplifies the existing class hatred
It was the Slavic Asiatic Hordes influence in DDR.
Mein gott, how they ruined our glorious master race
