Don’t know where that comes from, but I think it has to do with the institutionalized authoritative power that comes with the job. Both are positions that can be abused, and can negatively impact people’s lives.
On the other hand, my past landlords were nowhere near as helpful about noise complaints, as the police. So there’s that.

This is the internet. Everything we dislike is the same. Landlords are cops, Nazis, Israelis, authoritarians, libertarians, racists, homophobes, and transphobes; all at the same time.

I don’t dislike Russians. I am also curious of your definition of “authoritarian.” I am pro-liberation and pro-revolution, both things which would require a change in authority, either the colonized or the otherwise oppressed exerting their “authority” over their oppressors. Revolutions are by nature authoritarian. Also most of those things should be reviled and are not contradictory.

Fair enough!
