Any deviant act or view is probably anti-authoritarian if by authoritarian you also include the "authority" with which mainstream views and regulations are imposed, sometimes by law, more often by majority pressure.
Yet everything mainstream isn't somehow bad. Humans survive only by cooperating and banding together. It's just that we need to strike a golden mean between listening to authority and being unique. It's a matter of intelligence, applied on a case-by-case basis, and will work only if the most people in a group practice it.

Or, more realistically - by enslavement, the threat of violence and killing off everyone who challenges your authority. It seems history is tirelessly cyclical.
