    Why do we need to separate somebodies core beliefs from the person?

        Sure, their core beliefs can change, as can my opinion of them when this happens.

        To clarify. Authoritarianism is the belief that a singular authority should hold strong control over a system often meaning those who act against it or disagree should face punishment output by said system. I dislike people who agree with that idea, but if they change their opinion mine may too
