  • It’s a bit more nuanced than that irl. You may think rule of law is important and appreciate the authority of the courts, for example. Or you may think that someone had to pass the laws and appreciate the authority of the legislature in that regard. Institutions without authority are pointless, but they’re not all inherently authoritarian unless you stretch that adjective to breaking point

    Or you appreciate authority in some matters, but reject it in others. That’s the point in the spectrum that rejects the simple binary.

    Edit: just realised both my last posts were responding to you. I’m not stalking or weird shit I swear! It just happened I woke up with more opinions!

    Any assertion in chart form must be true!

    Edit: ok now that I’m getting downvotes I feel I need to explain: the conventional usage of the word libertarian is not commensurate with it covering such a wide range of the political spectrum. Usually we mean people who favour mildly anarchistic views (minimal governmental institutions, low taxation, low intervention). Representing that niche as half of the political spectrum is highly disingenuous
