Actually Men Are From Mars, Woman Are From Venus somewhat sums up the authoritarian mindset. Mars is the god of war, and Venus is the goddess of fertility / beauty. Men fight wars, women have babies.
Some of us (the authoritarian men) fight wars in order to dominate and exploit other people.
Others of us (the non-authoritarian men) fight wars in order to defend against the first type of people, so we can be left the fuck alone and live in peace.
And sometimes the first group figures out a way to trick men from the second group into fighting for their bullshit causes. Couching a fight for domination and colonialism into a “fight for freedom” and all that.
Authoritarians are the absolute worst, and offer no benefit to anybody but themselves. They’re parasites.
If a man wants to be your king and master, the only sensible recourse is to kill that man.
