The man with a literal gun has very real authority. An authority often has the ability to threaten punishment for noncompliance. Resisting is a tradeoff. Not doing your math homework in middle school "cause it's dumb", for example, is kinda stupid, because the punishment doled out (bad grades, hostile teachers, extra work) are worse in the long run then just dealing with doing something pointless.
Resisting where you can actually do some good is useful. Always blindly resisting is at least suboptimal, but the word disorder might not be entirely off base.
- meric 11y agoIf the teachers and parents can't convince you they're there for your own good despite the natural inclination for you to believe that is the case, then it's entirely unsurprising you'd refuse to follow their orders - they're bad teachers/ parents. If disorder arises because of that then that's only there were bad leaders to begin with, and order was never "deserved".
