Just because someone is in a position of power, does not mean they're a good person and should be listened too.
Don't be a tool, question everything.

No, as a general rule I don't have respect for authority
We all came crying and weeping out of someone's vagina, on this floating ball of rock and water in space...with that in mind, what gives any human being the right to dictate my life in any way? To have control over my life in any way?
I play the game with the pieces I was given, to a certain extent, so of course there is authority over me whether i like it or not, but people that try to flex power over me in an overbearing way can get fucked and expect resistance and my lack of cooperation, if not my full on rage if needed.
Respect is earned and not given willy nilly by me

I don't accept the idea that one person is "higher up" than another person unless consent is given. I think it's pretty much the underlying psychology of someone labeled "antisocial."

I'm not prejudice by nature. I see them as they appear, for example I could see a cop across the street and in my eyes he's got a clean record, he's got my respect by default, I don't know him, but then suppose that cop comes up to me and starts shoving me around for no reason, then I have data to collect and I can start making assumptions..

status does not automatically gain my respect.
I am always polite to anyone unless they are extremely impolite, rude, or hateful towards me for unjustified reasons in which case I can and will get a little 'fresh' before cutting them out of my life. I believe every human being deserves respect and dignity, for the most part, and as such I treat people above me with the same respect and dignity I do for everyone, I try to be sincere and candid, and I try to be a good employee regardless and do the best I can because that's for me, not for them.
A person in power who is doing a phenomenal job and is there because they earned it absolutely gets my respect. A person in power who can effectively lead, manage, and delegate but does not try to abuse their power and is there because they are passionate about what they do and want to do the best they can should have everyone's respect - the world needs leaders, and those are the people we want in power, they are also the one's who are less likely to uphold the nepotistic and corrupt culture of leadership as it currently exists.
