I’d agree that about 25% to 33% of any given population wants authoritarian rule. It seems to be hard-wired into a lot of people.
re: #147 BigPapa
I recently read somewhere by some bigheads that 30% of any population craves authoritarianism and that’s why democracy is always in jeopardy.
Certainly many who are devout followers of Western religions are susceptible: what is more authoritarian than a patriarchal religion interpreted by religious leaders who preach that G-d is a tyrant who demands death and/or eternal suffering for anyone who disagrees with their religious tenets?
