I propose that many of the "assholes" and "tear it all down" types are anti-authoritarians who fell through the cracks in the authoritarian system. They have all the anger, anxiety, and hate for the authority that surrounds them but they never found a way to obtain the higher knowledge about what is really going on. Maybe the "smart ones" just have a higher capacity to modify their world to fit them, maybe they had a better environment, or maybe they weren't as anti-authoritarian.

More likely they are better at avoiding the authorities. That is what I usually try to do.

Here I think you are getting at a distinguishable difference between those who are pushing against authorities and those who are hacking the system and flying under the radar. I think that anti-authoritarianism is more a directed attitude of questioning, while avoiding them/it is something different entirely; less trying to change the system, more accepting or ignoring it altogether. That is not to say that one cant do both things; in fact it might be a necessary way to live outside of the norm of blind obedience.

I think that //avoiding// could be considered by the authority as a disruptive disorder.

Authority want you to follow instructions, to do the things in their way. "They are the guardias of the truth" but if you found a way to do your best where authority isn't an obstacle, it also show new ways to improve the world you live in.

Open new ways of doing the things to others.
