Some people reject authoritarian submission and aggression regardless of which direction it points
Evidence
The âââLow-Lowsâ were unauthoritarian, period. They rejected submitting to the established authorities, and to revolutionary authorities as well. They rejected âstomping out the deviantsâ on the RWA Scale and âstomping out the Establishmentâ on the LWA Scale. They were against forcing conventions upon anyone, whether societyâs or those of a revolutionary movement. In short, with the integrity Low RWAs have often shown in other contexts, they rejected authoritarianism, however it was dressed and wherever it wanted to go. I would call them âUnauthoritarians.â â Bob Altemeyer, The Authoritarian Specter, 2902
