Right-wingers: Heil Hitler and God is white!
Left-wingers: ?
Liberal: ?

A German general signs Germany's capitulation at the end of the Second World War and greets lifting his right hand with his general’s rod. "Heil Hitler," he said no more. One could of course also interpret this as a custom that already existed in ancient Rome. But it was probably too much inside of him and came automatically.
It is a longing to be led, to belong to a strong organization or group. Moses fooled the Jews in the desert for forty years. Alexander had led his warriors thousands of kilometers into a previously unknown area before they finally woke up in India and put an end to this senseless march, since they had not been at home for years. Hannibal ordered his blind believers to walk from Spain across the Alps to Rome (Hannibal ante portas) and southern Italy. Napoleon was stopped in Moscow not by his own soldiers, but by the harsh winter. Germany had to be devastated (there are pictures of Cologne showing the Cologne Cathedral as the only building still standing) before the Germans came to the obvious conclusion that the war was lost.
The list of examples of this madness could go on endlessly. But where does this need of many people come from, not to want to think critically? What makes authoritarian systems appear in such an attractive light?
It is the lack of self-confidence, the fear of responsibility, the fear of a full life par excellence.
Unfortunately, this longing does not only exist in right-wingers. So-called left-wing extremists also seem to pay tribute to this remnant coming from slave and serfdom systems. Their god is called ideology and dogma in both cases. But a really liberal person cannot agree to that. Every day he tries to confront other opinions and interests, either to realize his own ideas or to improve them via ideas or suggestions from others. She / He hates the convenience and laziness to accept others' thoughts and commands uncritically. The future of humanity lies in the critical and researching individual.
