The psychological roots of authoritarianism and fascism

The author changes the definition of authoritarianism.

White libs change the definition of "liberal" to mean the opposite.

They are afraid to even define "socialism". The democrats are just Orwellan nazis hiding their true agenda. The white lib boomers lie to the children. Promise them they will never have to work and everything is free.

it is so obvious that authoritarians migrate to the left. Only on the left will you be able to achieve a government powerful enough to push your views

It is obvious that you are utterly dishonest or very stupid. Perhaps both. Authoritarianism is right-wing like you. Have someone read project 2025 to you.

You have been brain washed. Socialists flipped the definitions of right and left near the beginning of the 20th century.

Is Communism authoritarian? How about Marxism?

Psychologist Michael Milburn has studied the childhood antecedents of rightwing ideological rigidity. His research confirms that the harsher the parenting atmosphere people were exposed to as young children, the more prone they are to support authoritarian or aggressive policies, such as foreign wars, punitive laws and the death penalty.

“We used physical punishment in childhood as a marker of dysfunctional family environment,” Milburn said. “There was significantly more support for the capital punishment, opposition to abortion and the use of military force, particularly among males who had experienced high levels of physical punishment, especially if they had never had psychotherapy.” I was intrigued by that last finding.

Neuroimaging studies have shown that the amygdala, the tiny almond-shaped brain structure that mediates fear, is larger in people with more rightwing views

So you reject all authority, including police, government, any expert you want to try to use, etc.

I happen to agree with Project 2025. You never read it, just like you never read the Constitution or your own State constitution.

Eichmann in Jerusalem: The Banality of Evil was a tough read. The writing was mind-numbing with no sentence structure, no paragraphs (at least in my copy,) poor punctuation and a flood of words when fewer would have said so much more. You have to read everything over and over because it's so easy to lose your train of thought. IMO it needed a lot of editing. It was about 300 pages of small print but I abandoned it around 200 pages in. I was really looking forward to it; maybe if it comes in Cliff's Notes I'll try again.

That sounds terrible. I can't invest my time in poor writing.

Her concept of the banality of evil has revolutionized ethics. The Christian idea of the battle of Good versus Evil transformed into "just following orders."
