Weird to see a pro authoritarian post in an anarchy community
- it's not pro-authoritarianism
  
  Liberal is anti authoritarian
  Anti liberal = anti anti authoritarian = pro authoritarian
  
  liberal is center right; and liberalism completely fine with authority, maybe less with authoritarianism per se, but that's what the "inevitably leads to" part is about. an anti-authoritarian but pro-authority stance will inevitably lead to authoritarianism. just like how cops and military keep getting more and more ridiculous funding despite not demonstrating anything of worth that they contribute to society.
  
  We are looking at the north south axis not the left right axis
  
  north south
  left right
  oh no I was looking at the up down and east west axis
  
  Liberalism exists on both east west
  The more liberal (free) a person is, the less authoritarian they are
  There is no reason for you to be looking east west because it’s shared across that
  
  Sorry, I forgot my compass i'm all turned around
  
  Apparently
  Just associate Liberal with Freedom, that’s why you can be “liberal with the rules” if it’s not strictly enforced. It’s not a political group rather it’s just an English word that is used in political thought
  
  Just associate Liberal with Freedom
  Lol. LMAO even. I'm fairly certain that every 'group' on your compass would consider themselves to be the true representatives of 'freedom', and none would consider themselves 'authoritarian'. Anarchists regard all states as authoritarian, including and especially liberal democratic ones.
  The invention of the 'political compass' meme was an act of terrorism: change my mind.
  
  Yes, anarchy is extremely liberal
  I even gave you an apolitical example (sort of, the politics of sport and interpersonal connections is a different discussion)
  
  liberals are fine with authority: cops, judges, bosses, and landlords... don't lie
  
  That’s just because they’re dumb enough to think not doing anything with their own authority is enough
  Though Laissez-faire that it derives from felt only landlords should pay taxes because they don’t provide anything to society
  
  so you can see how anti-authoritarians take issue with liberals
  
  Color me surprised - a liberal who doesn't know what authority is
  
  Not a liberal, just not using the term incorrectly
  
  Well you're certainly using one of those terms wrong.
  
  No but see action for the sake of action is fascist
  And having interests or a conscience is woke, which is what causes reactionaries to get riled up, so that's also fascist.
  So taking any action to oppose fascism is the most fascist you can possibly be. That's why the left are the real fascists!
  So the only real move that isn't fascist is for us to reach across the aisle and do brutal bipartisan antifascism to the left. Possibly with some sort of camp system. Maybe we could merge good corporate citizens with the state to make it more efficient.
- You have correctly understood this, yes. You're so clever.
