I was listening to a talk about authoritarian personality and the speaker did bring this topic up, and how studies have borne out that it is, in fact, a thing. What I'm trying to wrap my head around is what that would actually look like. From my very (left-leaning) biased, American perspective, how can you be "authoritarian" about freedom?

The term alone brings up images of right-wingers thinking that, say, a trans person asking to be called by their chosen name and appropriate pronouns is some kind of controlling, authoritarian demand. Or that the left demands lockstep conformity and obedience, as evidenced by how much they'll cancel you for saying that something demonstrated by science doesn't exist, or generally treating some group or another as subhuman. Basically calling the left "authoritarian" because they don't approve of calling people slurs

On a more reasonable level, I could see stuff like socialist revolutions, violent protests, or just hyper-PC SJW types (the kind of split hairs over minor nonsense that benefits no one) as actual examples. Could a rigidly environmentally-conscious society be a left-wing dystopia, for example? Strict controls on what you can and can't do or have, but rooted in presumed "safety" rather than morality? Or maybe the WEF's infamous "you will have nothing and be happy", as left-wing authoritarian?

The studies I skimmed as I'm not smart enough to read them, suggest that LWA applies when a person scores high on authoritarian traits for left-aligned positions only. So, what, supporting legislation to mitigate climate change makes you authoritarian? If so, now what?

Sorry for the ramble. I feel like when we talk about RWA, many people have an image or two in their mind of the type of person, their beliefs and behavior, and how it's problematic. I'm trying to understand how that genuinely works from the left wing side.
