Authoritarianism is a crucial part of the wingnut mindset. Authoritarians can exist on the left too, but they’re very at home on the right.

In the case of fundamentalist wingnuts, it’s because they are afraid to live life without the idea of a controlling authority. The very concept of a universe that is governed by absolutely nothing except the random number generator is absolutely terrifying to them.
