> Sorry that you don't agree that the enforcement of laws is not authoritarianism
I never said this. Still, you can trivially pass authoritarian laws in an otherwise liberal society.
> The vast majority of people who have lived in liberal societies for ages
Only about 230 years, but sure.
> unfortunately believe that enforcing the laws that are made by either direct democracy or through their democratically elected institutions is good and just and I expect that will continue for a long while.
Sure, that doesn't make this not authoritarian. Sometimes people are just sick, scared, lonely people that are incapable of considering the impact of their actions. That's (collective) america to a T. If you knowingly sell someone snake oil you can't be shocked when they buy it.
> You will unfortunately have to live in such a world where people are not allowed to do crime.
I wouldn't really mind this if the crimes actually seems to correlate with encouraging a more livable society for the most of us.
