The novel, The Lord of the Flies, explores whether societies will prioritize collective welfare or succumb to primal fears, reflecting current political climates.
Authoritarians thrive by manipulating fear and anger, promising protection against false threats, leading to a dangerous cycle of division and control.
The older style of morality focusing on partisan success perpetuates false narratives, enabling authoritarianism to flourish in seemingly stable democracies.
The idea of the authoritarian personality serves as a reminder for citizens to resist the allure of fear-driven narratives and maintain democratic values.
