    Um… no, I don’t think so.

    The problem authoritarians have is that they’re just not that popular, so to be relevant at all, they must cloak their ideas in the language of the progressive. They must pretend to be something they’re not.

    I mean, I’m not saying being very strongly opinionated doesn’t lead to some authoritative rule-whipping, but I wouldn’t call that Authoritarianism. Authoritarianism is more like narcissist behavior.
