    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”.

                    You claimed it is the status quo. I didn’t bring up how popular liberalism is. It’s popular because it’s correct.
