There are plenty of left-wing people who are homophobic and anti-trans. And of course there is an authoritarian left
Sure, agreed all around. Never disagreed with in the first place, in fact.
My point is that it’s interesting to consider the high degree of overlap of wounded narcissism, right-wing politics and authoritarian followers.
And also I do think it is also important to note that for the past 50 years and in the developed world, right wing authoritarians have been far more numerous than left wing. This is not for congratulations purposes, but to stay aware and monitor the bigger problems we have. Rather than, among other things, slip into the danger of false equivalence when the bigger problem has more guns.
For an effect this significant, there must be causes. If we can find out likely reasons for those causes, we can help predict and ideally reduce authoritarian problems from right, left, or any other direction.
Anyway, that’s my take on things.
