Incredibly uneducated again. Authority is not only when government. Your boss dictating what you do under threat of unemployment is a strong form of authority prevalent in modern society that didn’t exist in the so-called “authoritarian socialist” governments.

it’s more about power balance. a mod on a forum has no real meaningful power over anything that matters.
“the government” is too narrow of a term, but it does need to be a person with power and control over others. right now corporations are the real centers of power in this world. they are largely authoritarian.
people saying they don’t want to hang out with you is not that.

Fully agreed, just portraying their hypocrisy.
