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.

Authoritardian

These federalist cucks want to get bent over by daddy FBI and dommed like nobody's business. They are the antithesis to Twitter Blue Hairs, hate minorities, women, and flag-burners.

Low levels frequent internet junctions such as /pol and r/politicalcompassmemes, surviving off Doritos and mountain dew. But some, more powerful types, can blend into society and masquerade among other normal human beings...

Social Authoritarian

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.

In a non-political context - Bossy, controlling, domineering
