Naw, you're just a bully who thinks they're the smartest person in every room. You don't have an "authoritarian tone" - you're not an authority. You're not a leader and you're not respected. You'll never be any of those things while you treat everyone as if they're below you.
You're the bizarro version of a Trumper, always right, always angry, and ever more insulting when pressed for relevant facts. In fact, if you're the official spokesperson for China, fuck that place. You make it sound about as appealing as Tucker Carlson's America.
You're wasting your life in comment sections screaming at the wall. People don't learn or change their minds because an omnipresent username tells them how stupid they are. Your voice is one more angry buzz in an ocean of people who no longer know how to see humans behind each username.
For your own sake, consider a different way. You have to be miserable holding all that anger all the time. There's no way you're happy. You can have strong opinions and still not be rude or dismissive to others. In fact, I can guarantee that you'll have exponentially more success getting your point across.
