"Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority”
and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person”
and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay."

you know how liberals fall anywhere from "regulations are good to" to "i think communism should be our mode of function"
Similar thing with conservatives. You can thank politics for lumping you in with the crazies.
