What is an authoritarian and authoritarianism?
Authoritarianism is a belief in and/or preference for strict obedience to authority at the expense of personal freedom, desires, values, beliefs and opinions. Authoritarians tend to see some people as being inferior in some way. A person who is believed to be unable to make good decisions can have his or her decisions made by a superior authoritarian leader. A criminal may not be allowed freedom.
Authoritarians tend to believe that most people are untrustworthy. Authoritarians tend to value life less. They see a few leaders or compliant individuals as being good and the vast majority as basically bad. An authoritarian believes that those who are consider bad people must be controlled by the good or superior people.
Whether secular or religious, a philosophy that suggests human nature is unworthy or untrustworthy requires or looks to authoritarian rulers to be told what to do. Like a child’s parent dictating the child’s behavior, a strict authoritarian will attempt to dictate his constituents behavior, beliefs and liberties.
Patriarchal means “rule of the father.” Those who see males as natural rulers create gods that reflect their values. They belong to religions that demand obedience to a male god and a male ruler.
In the middle ages, strict patriarchal values kept humanity in bonds to an authoritarian church that dictated thinking, behavior and actions. Martin Luther broke the hold the authoritarian church had on the Western world. Martin Luther brought about the enlightenment movement which led to the creation of the United States of America, our democratic system, and constitution. The Enlightenment also brought about the industrial revolution. You can than Martin Luther for your smart phone and liberties. To learn more, click below.
One of a group of articles comprising a plan to save democracy
The values introduced in the American experiment with democracy see all people as being equal and therefore worthy of autonomy and self-governance. However, it is the people within the United States of America that choose their leaders, and if the people distrust their fellow humans they may be inclined to elect authoritarian leaders. Democracy in the U.S. is in decline because of distrust of human nature built into the underlying philosophies of the people.
Those who elected former U.S. President Donald Trump tend to be in this category. They distrust people and are angry. Those they have elected are attempting to dismantle democracy and bring us back into the Dark Ages and the way things were before Martin Luther liberated the Western world.
Putin’s Russia and his values are an example of the way things were in the Dark Ages. Powerful authoritarians controlled the people, what they could believe, think and do.
U.S. Attorney General Merrick B. Garland has taken the wrong approach to investigate the ongoing efforts to overthrow the United States of America by former President Donald J. Trump. The investigation should begin at the top if that is where the evidence is at, and in this case it is. The DOJ can see plenty of evidence of seditious conspiracy (18 U.S. Code § 2384 - Seditious conspiracy) and aiding and comforting a violent insurrection (18 U.S. Code § 2383 - Rebellion or insurrection).
While it is true that no one was prepared for an actual sitting president to try to overthrow the United States of America, there is no excuse for the indefinite delay in prosecution we have been experiencing. If we were in a war, we wouldn't wait two years before taking action, we would address the threat and respond immediately or we would be in grave peril and could be killed.
That being said, the DOJ is looking closely at the January 6th hearings and are investigating independently. At any time Trump could be indicted and arrested.

Trump's strange legal arguments claiming voter fraud are shown to be bogus by 10 Trump appointed judges, 21 Republican judges and 61 courts. It is unnecessary for me to continue. The evidence against Trump has no apparent limit. This is why I wrote the book "Will Trump Be Indicted, Arrested and Sent to Prison? The Reason Why He Will and Why It All Happened."
The cause of problems in the U.S. is the same cause of the Putin terror war.
All the issues are connected. We can't stop our civilization's downfall if we do not address the core problem.
Save democracy our way
This is a good science that empowers the individual. It can bring us a future of unimaginable beauty.
There are possibilities for the human race beyond Trump and Putin, and this is a path to that world.
The good science that grants the individual power over events.
The reason why democracies are failing is because we have ignored the science that holds that answer to prevent the actual collapse of civilization itself.
CONSCIOUSNESS IS A STATE OF MATTER: MIT
Now the science is being rediscovered at universities like MIT.
Autocratic republicans and right-wing dictators will dismantle democracies worldwide until we understand the problem.
The scientific paradigm of materialism is losing followers to evangelism, extremely conservative fundamentalism, fascism and various cults. Democracies worldwide will fail; famine and war will continue unless we wake up.
The cause of problems in the U.S. is the same cause of the Putin terror war.
We can't stop our civilization's downfall if we do not address the core problem. We cannot reverse global warming, for example, if authoritarian climate-deniers block legislation while diverting attention to false claims designed to sow division or justify genocide.
Albert Einstein
"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them."
— Albert Einstein
The books by William Eastwood contain the new thinking that Einstein spoke of when he said "A new type of thinking is essential if mankind is to survive and move toward higher levels."
“The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.”
― Albert Einstein
Explains everything and gives you a good overall perspective.
By contrast, people who value life and see humans as being basically good allow autonomy and do not put people in prison at the high rate that the United States does.
What is authoritarian and bully psychology?
Authoritarian and bully psychology arise from having been mistreated, and the shame and guilt that is internalized as a result. If, for example, someone is arrested for something and is put into prison, that person may feel misunderstood. Instead of accepting the degradation from police or inmates, he or she may complain that other inmates crimes are far worse. Eventually a pattern of thinking develops in which the other person is always seen as being the bad guy. Authoritarianism spreads from person to person in this way.
Authoritarianism tends to arise out of distrust of human nature or similar negative beliefs about people. If you are loved and have positive views of all people it is much more difficult to become authoritarian, but it is still possible.
One of a group of articles comprising a plan to save democracy
Authoritarianism cane arise from the idea that “might is right,” or “survival of the fittest,” but it can also be generated from religions that hold any aspect of the human experience in low regard. A bigot or prejudice person may like some types of people but not others. Authoritarianism takes the idea that some people are evil or flawed to heart. They feel that these people must be forcibly controlled.
Humans who are seen as being of bad intent need to be treated more harshly. The bully and authoritarian tend to falsely justify harmful words, degrading and treatment of those they see as inferior for whatever reason. However, very few people are evil for the sake of being evil. We have made a great mistake as a civilization. We have learned to read human nature incorrectly. Our nature is actually good. It is beliefs that generate poor behavior, but not the innermost soul.
Why people see what they want to see, and create negative experiences
“Each person reads and experiences reality according to what they believe exists. If they hold a view of reality within themselves that is inherently limiting and/or negative, then this inner subjective reality and nothing else is projected outward into events and experiences so that everything conforms with their beliefs. They then cannot see anything outside of their own worldview. In effect, they become blind to any information that would free them from their inner and outer restricted reality.
“The negative focus on perceived enemies or opposition combined with the overlooked and unchecked power of consciousness and focus has been causing the world severe problems for a very long time only because we do not see the obvious.
“The solution is to understand that consciousness is altruistic.
“The people that seem evil don’t believe that the human spirit is basically good, and that’s the problem.
“My work is to explain that this is a scientifically validated fact in order to bring an end to global conflict and assist humanity in advancing into a new stage of incredible fulfillment, both private and public. That work begins with you.
“You can become a good or bad person in this life of yours — it is your choice.
“Yet, regardless of what you make of yourself in this life, your innermost soul is good. What you are at the deepest level IS good.”
— William Eastwood
Anyone can be an authoritarian. such as a police officer, prosecutor or lawbreaker.
Does an authoritarian and a bully degrade human nature?
Yes, an authoritarian degrades human nature. An authoritarian tends to see all people as flawed or sinful. This is how they falsely justify cruelty, violence and things like punishing people. An authoritarian or bully will not usually believe themselves to be bad and so they will project their innermost belief that human nature is evil on other people.
Authoritarians need a victim, a twisted person or an enemy to put themselves above. They will often create such an enemy by how they interpret people’s nature or behavior. They are almost always wrong about people. People are good inside, but many, many people feel otherwise.
It is people’s beliefs and behavior that can be bad, not the inner person, and this is what authoritarians and bullies do not understand.

Secret wisdom
"The most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or hostile universe.
"The most important question a person can ask is, 'Is the Universe a friendly place?'"
― Albert Einstein
The cause of division and failure:
"If you do not act on your ideals in small practical ways, and if you distrust yourself, you will project that discontent out onto the world. With little or no tolerance, you will attack those you blame because all you see is duplicity.
The path to a successful civilization and self:
"But if you think the universe is friendly and you act on your ideals in what may be small and ordinary steps initially, you are likely to succeed and live a good life. You will serve as an example to others, and in general, everything will work in your life."
— William Eastwood.

What are the core beliefs of authoritarians and bullies?
Authoritarian and bully psychology is based on a core set of beliefs in human unworthiness. It is an internal paradigm or set of values usually adopted early in life. Usually the authoritarian isolates a specific group of people and projects all the negative ideas she or he holds about human nature on that group.
An authoritarian thinks the better people should control the inferior people. An authoritarian will degrade the people that he or she feels are inferior.
As an example, a prison guard or correctional officer often has an authoritarian view and feels society must be protected from inferior and unworthy people. Prisoners often feel the same way, that many inmates are just bad and must be held down to protect others.
Authoritarianism provides a rational or false justification for degrading others because it is based on negative theories about human nature that come from religion and materialism. Most bullies, those who abuse others, commit crimes or impose fines and prosecute are authoritarian.

Authoritarianism is an internal personal condition responsible for bipolar and other disorders
As we come to believe human nature is unworthy and accept some degree of authoritarianism, we split ourselves in two. The part of us that complies with the official beliefs (values and rules of society and hence authority) is considered good, and the spontaneous and nonconforming aspect of self is rejected.
The conflict between the authentic self and the forced self as defined by psychology as being normal underlies most of the social and personal problems and undesirable conditions in the world today.
The belief that humans are basically bad generates authoritarianism, the belief that authority is necessary in order to control and punish those who are out of line. In this view authority is good and many or all people are bad and therefore must submit to authority, even if that means accepting oppression.
According to authoritarianism, the path to becoming a good person involves domestication and taming, even having one’s spirit broken.

“Our belief systems are so toxic that some children decide it is too dangerous to communicate with the world and so they are born with what we call “autism.”
“It would be one thing if the world was intrinsically as we believe it is, but it is not. The negativity and chaos we experience is a projection of a failed negative belief system. Children that are born with autism are reacting to their parent’s and society’s core beliefs.
“Everything from bullying to excessive demands on individuals—the source of all our problems—is born of distrust of human nature around which our civilization is built.
“Einstein’s friend, David Bohm, gives us a scientific paradigm that explains how this is possible. Our reality is a holographic projection of our beliefs, thoughts and emotions.
“To create a new and successful civilization we must discard the highly negative myths that caused current failure and in their place project beliefs that will produce success.
“The global altruistic, autonomous movement is a rapidly expanding circle of people who are recognizing the non-competitive, cooperative and non-selfish workings of the universe. These beliefs will generate different behaviors, institutions that are more friendly and an overall transformed reality.
Authoritarians can be hard on themselves also
We eventually become victims of our own authoritarian rules and self regulate by punishing ourselves. We maintain our own domestication through harsh words and actions aimed at keeping ourselves in line.
A divided self is no better than schizophrenia however, and such a one usually spirals downward into despair. Attempting to escape the despair we tend to enter into roles that allow us to bully others or complain about everything that is perceived to be wrong with others.
Bullying is a symptom of the belief that people are bad and authoritarianism as a way of dealing with it. It is an attempt to enforce the hierarchy of authoritarianism, punishing those who we falsely think must be punished, and submitting to authority. Bullies demand obedience. They also must always be right and the inferior victim wrong.
“Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.”
— Albert Einstein
“If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.”
— Albert Einstein
“Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.”
— Albert Einstein
“The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education. “
— Albert Einstein
“A new type of thinking is essential if mankind is to survive and move toward higher levels.”
