All definitions of “AutHoRItaRiaNisM” that .world, piefed, or other right-wing lemmy instances is anything that modern centrist liberals don’t like or involve “political violence”. Lincoln and John Brown would be “Violent Authoritarians” according to modern liberals if they existed today.

It goes back to the definition of a liberal: A liberal is anyone that is anti-war, except for all the current wars and is in favor of liberation struggles, except for any that are still ongoing.
