I keep on hearing conservatives and Libertarians say only left wingers are authoritarian, which often ignores that the several examples of right wing authoritarians.

So I am going to ask this, do right wingers consider alt right star Nick Fuentes to be right wing or not? Because he defines himself as right wing and is pretty authoritarian:


There are a lot right wing authoritarians, because they only apply their supposed small government ideology to themselves and want the state to crackdown on people they dislike.

You see they've employed the incredible tactic of simply redefining leftist to mean authoritarian. Therefore by their logic it is definitionally impossible to be a right wing authoritarian since being on the right means freedom/individual rights. So if someone is authoritarian it is impossible to be right wing in their mind.

Exactly, it's No True Scotsman arguments that have no basis in reality.
