It seems I have hit a strange language anomaly.
Strong government x authoretarian government.

I believe, that strong government is such, that is capable of protecting its population from external threads and from crimes.
For instance, if there was a city occupied by a terrorist organization, a strong government would be able to shoot all of the terrorist down in order to restore normal lives to civilians.
(any resemblence to Chaz are purely coincidental)

On the other hand, authoretarianism is defined by just how pointless shit government regulates in your life. If government sends you to jail over a tweet, or doesn't let you enter a pub, it is definitelly authoretarian.

An I perceiving these two words incorrectly?
