what we have is an uninformed beast held in thrall to fear. long before napoleon and squealer and co., there was jeroboam and his two calves, which pretty much summarizes it all.
the elements:
1. a bastardized creed. not jerusalem, but dan and bethel. not YHWH, but his new representatives. not demos, but aristos or pluto.
2. an over-arching fear of retribution. withdrawal of privilege. unholy scrutiny. loss of happiness.
3. a herd of well schooled peoplelettes who believe, all good, some better, study hard, don't rock the boat.
4. and some fringe elements who are idealistic, or courageous, or realistic, or cynical, or have given up.
