One is authoritarian in nature, the other is protestant in nature. These are not the same thing

Taking a life is the most authoritarian act there is, the CEO certainly didnt consent lmao

The authorization of CEO execution sounds like a good thing. People are clearly singing for it, so why not make it policy?

Luigi's alleged actions were an attempt at drawing attention to social issues. Xi Jinping's actions on the other hand are attempts at violently suppressing opposition ergo authoritarianism.

Can you provide any support for your argument that the PRC executes billionaires because of opposition, and not, say, massive corruption? Because you again seem to be making up a narrative to suit your present biases without looking at any sources.

The opposition in China is the capitalist class, that gets capital punishment if they get out of line. China executes billionaire tycoon convicted of being ‘ruthless underworld kingpin’
