>I asked, “Why did you leave an authoritarian government for fear of your life only to want another authoritarian government?”
Authoritarianism is easy, you just do what they tell you to do. One of my co-workers is pro-fascist/Authoritarian, not that he will admit it. There is not a rule, recommendation, or a law he will break. If he is told to do something a certain way, he will do it that way, no ifs, ands, or buts.

My authoritarian coworker got back from vacation and it was so nice not hearing the words publicly executed

Following instructions in a work setting or obeying the laws of the country/state/country/city you live in isn't being "pro-fascist/authoritarian". It usually means you're a good worker and a decent resident in your community.
So, please tell us more about these horrendous situations in which he's told to do something in a certain way and he actually does it that way.

Nah, more like 115mph on the German autobahn--outside of the speed limit zones, of course.

The fascist safety offices here won't let us stand on the top rung either. Fascists everywhere!

How about not once putting a foot on the upper rungs of a ladder because it is "illegal"?

Imagine considering someone 'sheeple' for not wanting to end up paralyzed--that's the most NJ'est thing I've read on here in a long time.
The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) was passed to prevent workers from being killed or otherwise harmed at work. The law (yes, the law) requires employers to provide their employees with working conditions that are free of known dangers.
Ladder Basics:
- When on a ladder, never face away from it.
- Never stand on the top rung of the step ladder.
That top rung is, at best, for your hands, not your feet. Ladder too short? Get a longer fucking ladder.

Sounds like someone who knows their OSHA rules. Following OSHA rules is fantastic for malicious compliance.

I don't disagree with you. But him saying it is "illegal" was the thing that got me.
