Authoritarians are both more likely to work in government intelligence and investigation agencies while also being unable to imagine any other way of society working besides what they have. Authoritarians are unimaginative and forceful and don't want to give up their special place in society where they make rules for others and can be excepted from those rules by their friends who enforce the rules. The authorities are terrified of being treated like the civilian population they think they rule.
Let's change society and make things fair for all.
Very much like "the captain" in The Handmaid's Tale (book version, never saw the tv version).
This article is about authority figures, not about authoritarians. That’s like mixing up paediatricians and paedophiles
Not even close.
You do understand the difference between authority and authoritarianism, right?
You do understand the similarities between authority and authoritarianism in our current world where oligarchs and billionaires control most of the money and a fair chunk of the security services?
No. If I’m a doctor with qualifications in microbiology and I tell you that vaccines are important an effective, then I’m it’s worth listening to me because I’m authoritative, more so than the random guy on YouTube. It’s the erosion of **authority ** as a problem that the article is about.
