preference for social uniformity, prejudice towards different others, willingness to wield group authority to coerce behavior, cognitive rigidity, aggression and punitiveness towards perceived enemies, outsized concern for hierarchy, and moral absolutism.
Love to abstract beliefs so absurdly much that racism and not wanting bosses to exist can be categorized under the same label. "Willingness to wield group authority to coerce behavior", so like, laws? "Concern for hierarchy" actually liking hierarchy and disliking it are the same thing when you think about it. Having strong beliefs is also totalitarian, btw.
psych professional licks the tip of their fountain pen hmmm, today i think i will pathologize even more of the human experience

You know, fifty years ago, it was Iv-him-ectin but then PC feminism happened
Founded in 1938, AEI (American Enterprise Institute) is commonly associated with conservatism and neoconservatism but does not support political candidates
Coupling that with the author's prior work you mentioned, I think we can safely assert that this is a classic case of chuds going 'liberals are leftist commies' and 'universities are commie playgrounds'
The thought of an AEI think tankie also being a psychiatrist makes me nauseous.

the bourgeois liberals I know are slurping this bullshit with abandon
set fires and committed other acts of violence
lol this isn't authoritarian if anything it's the opposite (COMPLETE ANARCHY). But to these guys "authoritarian" just means "breaks established liberal norms." Well the norms suck and are outdated so of course more people feel good about breaking them.
Anyone that the Atlantic says is an "expert" in anything can smd
Authoritarianism is when you have no political power, and the less power you have the more authoritarian it is.
In the mid-1990s, the influential Canadian psychologist Bob Altemeyer described left-wing authoritarianism as “the Loch Ness Monster of political psychology—an occasional shadow, but no monster. ” Subsequently, other psychologists reached the same conclusion.
But i disagree with this peer-reviewed scientific consensus. Please buy my non-peer reviewed book rather that read the science that disagrees with me
Also, here's my study based on throwing random questionaire items at the wall until something sticks.
By recasting left-wing authoritarianism in more specific terms anti-hierarchical aggression top-down censorship, and anti-conventionalism Costello and his colleagues offer other researchers and the general public a new vocabulary for discussing antidemocratic attitudes on that side of the political spectrum.
These shitlibs are a fuckin joke, they always tip their hand and reveal the true agenda, they just can't help themselves
These leftists! They oppose hierarchy! They love top-down censorship! That's them, alright, I tell ya!
Right: I hate non-whites.
Left: I hate bigots.
Researchers: These are exactly the same.
