   it's pretty bewildering how much general lack of interest there is authoritarianism and how grows and maintains itself. given how widespread authoritarian beliefs tend to be, it's not exactly surprising, but just from a straightforward risk analysis it's seems so obvious to me: what kills people, what stifles and reverts human development? sometimes accidents, mostly authoritarians. how controversial is this, really?

     @sofia it's extremely controversial. Most people see violent authority as a clear net positive.

     i guess most people don't really have a coherent concept of authoritarianism and freedom. which is so strange, because they still love to sing the praise of "freedom", what what does that mean for them?

     @lain well, bur rarely just as blatant as this, right? i think it's usually something "yeah freedom sounds good, but a sohisticated adult i understand that [some nonsense that doesn't survive much scrutiny]". i think there is some discomfort there. they want a justification and be over with it, i think.
