    Actually, they have a pretty good idea of the core principle of “rejecting authority”. That’s the natural state of the adolescent already.

    How you would get an adolescent to naturally align with capitalism though, is a mystery for me. Seems like shit lemmygrad would make up.

      My rejection of authority is why I’m a liberal.

          No, it makes total sense. What are you missing?

            Liberalism is the dominant ideology enforced by states of the world. It is the establishment, the status quo. Agreeing with it is agreeing with authority. More than that, though, liberalism requires authority to function. So to say you reject authority, yet are a liberal, makes no sense.

              Bring “anti-authority” doesn’t mean “disliking ideas because they’re popular.” That’s a middle-school-ass take.

                    Explain how. And while you’re at it, how you get from that to “being against authority is rejecting what is popular”.

      Because we’re indoctrinated into it from birth. You have to put up active efforts to ignore or critically examine it, in order to believe differently.

      Also, hating your dad isn’t rejecting authority, and rejecting authority isn’t anarchism. It’s pretty close, though.
