I think this is an example of where the left-right axis isn’t the most adequate way of viewing things. The Fediverse in general is anti-authoritarian. You can be all the way from a far-left anarchist to a far-right anarcho-capitalist and still be anti-authoritarian, just like both tankies and nazis are authoritarian.
If you’ve never watched the move 12 Angry Men, do yourself a favor and watch it. You are going to love it and it has everything to do with your comment.
