too terrifying.
Once a dictatorship begins, it is like a derailed train that will crush everything and whizz by.
This piece is typical play off & don't make it or die.
Humans always overestimate their own self-control.
I'm wondering what causes people to change so much in a week. And this kind of change is unaware of yourself. Others tell you that you suddenly realize that you have indeed changed, but you still don’t know where it has changed and why it has changed.
The word superiority comes to my mind.
Human thoughts are always bizarre and full of divergent thinking. If 100 people want to do one thing, and you ask them to give opinions, they will give 100 kinds of opinions. In the case of equal status, everyone will feel that their opinions are the most suitable. If you let them argue, no one will accept the other in the end. It is like a fight in the community on the Internet. They have always held their own opinions, and they broke up in the end, and no one will admit defeat.
Even if one of them is quick-witted and eloquent, he persuaded everyone to adopt his opinion, and he also spent a lot of effort to persuade the dead-end people to temporarily reserve their own opinions, to follow his way first, and then to say no. That also takes a long time. This is democracy.
Humans know that unity can produce terrible power, and dictatorship can bring the power of unity to the extreme. 100 people always act according to the opinions of one person, work together, and screw together, even if that person's opinion is not the best, but when these 100 people work together, the power is terrible. Being in it, watching the artistic feats created by oneself, no one will not be shocked and infected. Such is the power and charm of dictatorship.
He is a belief. When many people around him share the same belief and work together to do one thing, the sense of satisfaction and belonging is like a drug.
But what if the instructions are wrong. One jumped out and shouted you were wrong! 10 people rushed out and pressed him down, how dare that person shout? If there is a violent admirer in the middle, what will happen to that person. . . (Thinking of WG, uncomfortable...)
Personality and dictatorship are equivalent to 1 chopstick to 100 chopsticks tied together.
You are among 100 chopsticks, you feel that uncontrollable force, his direction is the same as yours, you think that is your strength, so you have a sense of superiority.
When you talk to that chopstick with this sense of superiority, no matter how much you care about equal and free communication with others, and how much you care about mutual respect. Once the chopstick has a certain point of view that is slightly inconsistent with yours, that sense of superiority will emerge, and there will be an os in your heart that you are a xx.
Whether you want to admit it or not, that sense of superiority is working on you invisibly. You think your opinion is above everything else, and no one can go against your will, "Four legs are good! Two legs are bad!" So you shouted loudly, and from then on prejudice was born, and injustice was born.
One day you realize there is a problem, but you're so caught up in it that you can't extricate yourself.
Just like the burning silence on Baili Tusu's back, Frodo has the Lord of the Rings. Now you are controlled by the system, instead of you being in control of the system.
I think there will be a system, albeit with all its drawbacks. People always have their own opinions and debate, and he may be far less efficient than a dictatorship. But his advantage is that he allows to slowly improve and rectify slowly, he listens to everyone's opinions, and he tolerates heresy.
As long as the direction is correct, what does speed matter?
Where is my direction? Now only know where to go is wrong, but why is wrong. Powerlessness...

Addition:
Humans are not that stupid, but when reason meets sensibility. Reason will be crushed under the impact of sensibility.
Think of the brainwashing of MLM.
