  • An authoritarian isn’t simply the person at the top, it is also all of the people who support them. Authoritarians like the comfort of being told what’s good and what’s bad. Life is simpler when those difficult moral choices are made for you and you free yourself of the responsibility of them. They don’t believe they’re at fault if those choices end up being disastrous because they were just following along, it wasn’t their idea after all.

    Of course that’s all nonsense, but the point is that it’s a comfortable fiction which means it is very appealing to someone who is susceptible to that mindset.
