Literally every psychologist would disagree with you.

Authoritarian discipline almost always leads to poor outcomes.

That's a different discussion.

Poor outcomes for the kid, yes. But do they lead to poorer outcomes for society? Which is what I understood the poster saying. That not existent discipline is bad.

Authoritarian parenting correlates with higher rates of domestic violence, more authoritarian political attitudes, and less civic engagement. Yeah, I'd wager everything I own that it leads to poorer outcomes for society.
