          liberal is center right; and liberalism completely fine with authority, maybe less with authoritarianism per se, but that’s what the “inevitably leads to” part is about. an anti-authoritarian but pro-authority stance will inevitably lead to authoritarianism. just like how cops and military keep getting more and more ridiculous funding despite not demonstrating anything of worth that they contribute to society.
