The sign is a little messy, but more people NEED to keep tapping it:

THE aim of authoritarian power is to get, expand -and keep- power consolidated among "the in group".

Authoritarian assumptions are rooted in force, not reason.

And -using coercive means- (aka: force, unjust laws (ahem), by sick cultural norms, etc) are the accepted means.

Unfortunately, it's been hugely successful for ALL colonizing cultures…so it's still pervasive

but often only really shows its teeth when threatened

Groups who already have consolidated power...like their reach and power. So large corporately owned groups like the NYT WaPo, MSNBC or any number of other groups are simply NOT going to mention this often enough. Universities "leaders" like their statuses as well, so they aren't gonna be eager to deconstruct their own authoritarian assumptions.

Same with demographics with certain privileges due to social hierarchies created by colonizing cultures.

Compassion based people will though.
