The problem is with their definition of authoritarianism. This goes back to a authoritarianism test that was so popular in the 1960s which shared the same psyop definition of the word. "The RWA scale was devised by professor Bob Altemeyer of the University of Manitoba as an extension and refinement derived from the California F-scale created by the Frankfurt School’s Theodor Adorno et al. to measure the same construct. Altemeyer spent his entire career attempting to redefine hallmark traits of Liberalism, such as submissiveness to authority and aggression towards those who do not follow the Narrative (a hallmark of antifa), as Right Wing traits exclusively. Altemeyer claims only Right Wingers are capable of authoritarianism, and famous examples of Left Wing authoritarians, such as Lenin, Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, etc., were actually crypto-Right Wingers. He further claims it is the Right Wing that consistently exhibit errors in cognition and in reasoning, and that they are the political side affiliated with hypocrisy and tend to have contradictory ideals. In The Authoritarians, Altemeyer describes his own usage of Right and Left Wing as “new-fangled” (p.9). Altemeyer thus openly admits playing with words and manipulating meanings to fit his own narrative. The entire work appears to be an exercise in academic sophistry. According to the RWA scale, if you believe in the American values of hard work, education, loyalty, and honesty, you’re a Right Wing Authoritarian, and quite obviously, a racist." Read the whole article.The mask is a visual flag that the wearer is taking the moral high ground and the rest of you out there are inferior I would be an authoritarian any day than a lemming.
Most people don't have what it takes to get old

And if you happen to join the minority that gets covid, please don’t clog the hospitals or wait in line for a vaccine. I know 3x the number of people with the vid since November. Two died, one in the hospital and one at home that was pretty cleared of it. Apparently it affected his heart, his wife’s lungs. Talked to him the day he died, sounded good, you never know. A club I don’t want to join.

Jeffo. still claiming your fake disability while ripping of hard working tax payers and posting your hikes on the backpacking forum? People in the United States with more authoritarian tendencies are less likely to wear a mask when going out in public, which might be explained by the fact that they also tend to be less concerned about the impact of COVID-19, according to new exploratory research published in Frontiers in Psychology.
The survey included an assessment of authoritarianism, in which participants indicated their level of agreement with statements such as “Our country desperately needs a mighty leader who will do what has to be done to destroy the radical new ways and sinfulness that are ruining us” and “The only way our country can get through the crisis ahead is to get back to our traditional values, put some tough leader in power, and silence the troublemakers spreading bad ideas.”
The researchers found that participants with more authoritarian tendencies were less concerned about the virus’s impact on their own and others’ health. They were also less inclined to wear masks and heed the advice given by experts and scientists. https://www.psypost.org/2021/01/ame...r-masks-amid-the-covid-19-pandemic-58992

Well...the antonym of "authoritarian" is "liberal".
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.
