A political idealogical concept in which a government should have the majority of control. However, being a social authoritarian means that the government acts on the part of its citizens. It by no means means a conservative, whackjob society where religion is key and rights are stamped out. It essentially is a benevolent dictatorship, where a small group of people act towards the better of a country.
Guy 1: Dude, did you know Singapore is a benevolent dictatorship?!
Guy 2: Uh yeah. But did you know its one of the most advanced cities in the world because of it? Because of its long term commitment, it can actually start and finish projects! That's why i'm an social authoritarian.

People with authoritarian views, agendas, or personalities rarely describe themselves as authoritarian, but can often be spotted when they try to rationalize some government control as being necessary "for national security", "for public safety", "for the children", or "for your own good".

Get the authoritarian mug.If there was a list of authoritarian countries, Great Britain would be only just behind North Korea and Nazi Germany due to ever more Orwellian one sided bullshit laws.
Rich from the USA: I just trolled some asshole online for a while because he was pissing me off, what have you been up to Fred?
Fred from the UK: I trolled someone online for calling me a cunt, and other names, and then the police turned up at my door and arrested me for "hate speech" after I called him a faggot back, but they pretended that the other person didn't exist and he got off scot-free. Don't ever come to the UK, it's a one-sided shithole that caters to snowflake idiots that are allowed to be verbally abusive towards you.
Fred from the USA: Wow i didn't know the UK was such an authoritarian police state!
