      Yea not serious.

      Authority means force.

      Your dentist does not have the ability, to force you to do anything. They are an “authority” in the sense they know a lot about teeth so we willingly ask them for help.

      That is clearly not the same type of authority being discussed in authoritarianism.

      Stop comparing Hitler to your dentist.
