anti authoritarianism, n.All

Anti-authoritarianism (n.) turns ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠into its own antithesis: by abolishing every absolute tie, it leaves power free to decree and manipulate whatever ties suit it.

Anti-authoritarianism (n.) runs ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠in an American streak perhaps unique in the world; it can show up as assault rifles, or as healthy opposition to illegitimate authority.
