  • authoritarianism is another word that can mean different things to different people. It can be used to mean the government enforcing any rule that isn’t liked. civil rights protection? authoritarianism. job protections? authoritarianism. minimum wage? authoritarianism. etc…

    Also related is “small government”. I think people who use it mean (at least when not in control) “small federal government”, the state however should control everything about peoples lives.

    I almost think its the laws they support are black and white and unchanging. If something is wrong with a law, it doesn’t matter, that’s the law. The solution to an issue isn’t to change the law, its to enforce it harder, or make it more restrictive. The “rule of law” also applies to individuals and actions. Money crimes, fraud, “the state” are not subject to the same “rule of law” because those laws “don’t make sense” and if we look above are a result of “authoritarianism”.

    Is there a solution to get people to use language that can be agreed upon? who knows, but it would certainly help clear things up. I hate trying to guess what someone thinks a word means to attempt to refute their points.




  • I DON’T AGREE WITH MOST OF THE FOLLOWING. what follows is simply my best guess.

    Different people are going to have different reasons, the first two are the majority of the voters the rest are for the owner class.

    1. Take the following statements to be true: Taxation is theft, government action is evil. If you apply no other logic, many of the actions make sense. The CFPB is government action, therefore evil and should be removed.
    2. ANY regulation impedes the free market. CFPB is a regulation it impedes the free market
    3. It helps the selfish people doing it. They will be able to take more risky positions at the expense of the public and make money.
