Gladly if you can point out why I'm wrong. I think we're analyzing two separate arguments contained in the same comment, which is the result of the confusion. But nobody has cared to layout the specific argument ( I have in another comment) and if you can't already parse why the other commenter was appealing to authority by citing the US/EU/Brazil as "authorities" on just governance, then that's fine. It doesn't mean it's not an appeal to authority, because it clearly is.
