    I’d wager that’s just authoritative types and not fascists specifically. You can have an authoritarian fascist but bootlicking and subservience is a response to hierarchy and the social pressure to fall in line. While thinking critically with intellectual and ethical reasoning is always outside the desire of hierarchy enshrined in the status quo. Authority will always encourage sycophants.
