How much right-wing authoritarianism by a sitting government will or would it take to convince you that authoritarian governments are more of a problem than ideologically incoherent university students?

If it were kept in universities I wouldn't care, but it's infected left wing politics and HR departments everywhere.

I'm much more worried about left wing authoritarianism in the near future than a rather bland right wing authoritarianism today.
