Yes.
Upholding the ideal value of questioning authority is one thing. Using that as a justification for all instances of it is another. What most concerns me is when it is done for the wrog reasons:
"Here's the focus of my concern for the shibboleth known as "questioning authority." It is quite often done for the wrong reasons. The wrong reasons are egoistic and romantic notions of self-image and self-serving agendas. The hypocrisy involved in these sorts of rebellions are dangerously irresponsible."
What we have then is merely radical chic. That is a form of mental tyranny so common these days that it moves me to make the observations I've made regarding rebellous behavior as a neurosis rather than a virtue.
