The Rise of Right Wing Authoritarianism | Moral Sentiments

On this week’s episode of Moral Sentiments, IEA Communications Officer Harrison Griffiths speaks to IEA Senior Research Fellow Jamie Whyte about the ideology behind the creeping authoritarianism within conservatism.

Mayor Adams (of NY) said directly, NY is done, because of our open southern border.
(there is no end in sight to the crisis), "it will destroy New York"
but yeah, its the "Rise of Right Wing Authoritarianism" that's at issue (smh)

I thought this channel was all about fighting for freedom of speech etc, which was so aligned with the current right movement in the USA, there's nothing 'authoritarianism' about them.
They're also as closest as you can get today to classical liberal. You're just eating up US state media propaganda framing.
I do agree with other people saying you're all out of touch and don't know what you're talking about.

Seek the truth no matter wher it lies. If you can criticize one political group, there is almost certainly an equal representation on the opposite side. Every political action, seemingly will lead to an equal and opposite reaction.
The binary, polemical certainty of either side, is palpable, and is ubiquitous. If you cant see your own infalibility, you are blind to actually understanding anything, objectively.

Interesting that some people commenting suggest the rise of left wing authoritarianism means the right wing isn't also tending to authoritarianism. IEA here outlined pretty well why Trump and national conservatives are leaning more authoritarian, and 3 weeks ago did a video on why you shouldn't call the left 'Liberals'. Actually a good video here
