If we take his premise at face value, based on how Redditors see things:
It's because "authoritarianism" isn't actually a bad thing, and most people support it to 'some' degree. Authoritarianism is a spectrum, obviously. On one extreme end you have a completely lawless post-apocalyptic Mad Max anarchy, on the other extreme you have Equilibrium where if you don't take your emotion-deadening pills, Christian Bale shows up to murder everyone.
People like to live in societies that have rules and structures because most people are smart enough to see that that's how things work best. Free societies are balancing the rights of the people against the need for society to limit those rights.
