the emotional aggregate of a professional; extreme anger or hatred towards children;

also: manic depressive disorder linked to childhood defamation; a character flaw causing chaotic circumstances; evil in its purest form

(Emotional Aggregate): Believing that mundane activities make you a professional, such as waking up at dawn for no apparent reason, bathing in cologne, and degrading those close to you for not conforming to your own psychotic subconscious standards that you have created for yourself. You display authoritarianism.

(Hatred Towards Children): Beating, maiming, or murder of a pre-pubescent citizen on grounds with out much substance, for example, shoving a child's face into sand because his shoelace is untied or he called you Glenn Humplick.

(Manic Depressive Example): Walking down street in wet t-shirt and getting back slapped by town bully at a young age, causing backlash at close friends because you locked away the pain.

(Character Flaw): destroying the personal property of others or causing others to cower in fear over the fact that you are flying around like a tornado, speaking in toungues, face afire.

(Evil): Anything a manifestation of the above; professionalism at its absolute worst.

Authoritarianism 

A system of governance is fully authoritarian when a single individual or an elite has unlimited power over an area.

This is the polar opposite of direct democracy, instead of the country being governed from the bottom up the society is being governed top-down. China currently has an authoritarian system of governance and while people there can often enjoy some rights the government can take back any of these rights at any time for any reason without warning.

We needed authoritarianism to properly respond to the sars-cov-2 virus.

anti-authoritarianism 

Opposition to authoritarianism. Beliefs include no absolute faith in authority; appealing to reason, logic and evidence; equality before the law and civil liberties, and rejection of appealing to authority to prove an argument as a logical fallacy. Anti-authoritarianism has been associated with the counterculture movement and sub-cultures such as punks (and offshoots such as cyberpunk and unicorn punk), beatniks, and hippies; and the bohemian movement.

The accession to power of notoriously unpopular populist politicians such as Hitler and Donald Trump has been a spur for anti-authoritarianism.

BDSM Authoritarianism

... is the enforcement or advocacy of strict obedience to the dominatrixes'/dominators' authority with the appearance of being at expense of personal freedom. The doms & dommes enforce the tying, binding, or restraining the citizenry who entered the land voluntarily for erotic, aesthetic, or somatosensory stimulation.

I hear the ProDomme party, advocating for BDSM Authoritarianism, got 69% of the vote -- what simps.

Neoliberal Authoritarianism

A critical term describing how neoliberalism—often presented as a philosophy of freedom, markets, and limited government—operates in practice as an authoritarian system. It enforces market logic through austerity, deregulation, and privatization, but when policies face democratic resistance, it deploys state violence, legal repression, and institutional coercion. Neoliberal authoritarianism appears in eviction of protest camps, criminalization of dissent, and the use of emergency powers to push through corporate-friendly reforms. It reveals that the “free market” is not free; it requires a strong state to crush opposition and enforce inequality.

Neoliberal Authoritarianism Example: “The government slashed social spending while police cracked down on teachers’ strikes—textbook neoliberal authoritarianism, using state violence to protect market ideology from democratic accountability.”

Consented Authoritarianism

A critical term for how pro‑Western political groups argue that an authoritarian or totalitarian government can still be “democratic” if it was elected by a majority—especially when that government aligns with Western interests. The logic holds that as long as the ruler came to power through a vote (even a sham election) and maintains Western support, it is not “real” authoritarianism. Critics point out that this standard is never applied to non‑Western regimes. The term exposes the selective outrage of liberal interventionists who condemn illiberal governments only when they resist Western hegemony.

Example: “He praised the president’s landslide victory and ignored the jailing of opponents—consented authoritarianism, calling a rubber‑stamp election ‘democratic’ because the winner was pro‑West.”

Consented Totalitarianism

Similar to consented authoritarianism, but reserved for even more extreme cases where a regime controls every aspect of life, yet Western apologists defend it on the grounds that the people “chose” it or that the totalitarian measures are necessary to combat an external enemy. The term highlights the contradiction of praising “democracy” while justifying mass surveillance, secret police, and party‑state fusion when the ruler is a Western ally. It is a powerful critique of double standards in international politics.

Example: “She argued that the mass surveillance was ‘a democratic decision of the people’—consented totalitarianism, dressing up dictatorship as the will of the majority.”

Late-Stage Authoritarianism

A critical term referring to the authoritarian turn within late‑stage capitalism—when economic crises, inequality, and ecological collapse provoke popular resistance, and capitalist states respond with intensified repression, surveillance, and suspension of democratic norms. Unlike earlier welfare‑state compromises, late‑stage authoritarianism shows capitalism without a human face: mass incarceration, police militarization, anti‑protest laws, and the criminalization of poverty. It is the political form of late‑stage capitalism, where markets remain free while people are increasingly unfree.

Late-Stage Authoritarianism Example: “The new law made it a felony to film police, while corporate tax evasion was decriminalized—late‑stage authoritarianism, protecting capital by criminalizing accountability.”
