Conquest is murder & theft
Conquerors are vicious criminals
Vicious criminals become kings
Kings designed civilization
We are the products of civilization
Right wing movements are growing around the globe, but our attention is misdirected. The real problem is not the authoritarian leader, but the blinkered supporters who blindly follow him: without them the despot is irrelevant.
Why do we attach ourselves to dictators & demagogues? Why do we defend even their most obvious hypocrisies & lies?
The answer lies in the roots of civilization. Despite our romantic traditions, monarchs were never wise, just, nor generous. History shows that, without exception, kings were the most vicious psychopaths, narcissists, & sadists who ever lived.
And the only path for survival required unquestioningly believing & obeying- anything the king said.
