    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.
