Description

Hi, your democracy vs authortiy is biased towards "you are either a democrat or authoritarian". Both democracy and authority are types of authority which simply have a different government system. The opposite of authority is liberty, and democracy is just a type of authority. **Antonim of authority is liberty and lack of authority is not democracy but libertarianism**.

I as a libertarian was deemed as "authoritatian" because I was not supporting oppresive democratical minority-hating mob-rule, while my ideology is the definition of freedom and is the definition of anti-authority. The democracy means oppression of minority and individuals are not happy if the stick they are being beaten with is called "stick of the people".

Replace democracy with liberty. You are either a democrat or were paid by Biden's team because this test is clearly biased, there is no way democracy can be opposed to authority, the world has defined the freedom axis hundred years ago and it is called Libertarianism.
