Authoritarians are both more likely to work in government intelligence and investigation agencies while also being unable to imagine any other way of society working besides what they have. Authoritarians are unimaginative and forceful and don't want to give up their special place in society where they make rules for others and can be excepted from those rules by their friends who enforce the rules. The authorities are terrified of being treated like the civilian population they think they rule.

Let's change society and make things fair for all.

Well, maybe stop exploiting everyone for the benefit of the rich and this wont be an issue?

I mean, that's how we got the modern welfare state, and how we managed to engineer one of the most relatively tranquil, peaceful and progressive periods in human history: by ensuring everyone had enough, rather than letting a few fight for it all while most had none.

It's like the solution is staring these people in the face, but they can't--they won't--see it.

The “fabric of society” they’re trying to preserve:

rich people and state colluding to fuck over peasants is deff NOT tearing any "fabric of society" tho!

Part of the whole narrative is to flame, encourage and promote extremism and extremist ideas. When the public discourse is completely muddled with extreme views and ideologies .... mainstream, moderate and actual criticisms are more easily dismissed as 'tearing apart the fabric of society'.

The owners and controllers of civilization want to maintain the status quo, they don't want change.

Ugh, the facists aren't the only ones who want to tear down the hierarchy. The good guys do too, albeit for very different reasons

We are approaching the end of a global capital cycle and we have radicalized most with the modern social media echo chamber using ideologies while uneducating our youth.

We need to teach our people how to think critically once again while remembering that some civil discourse is ok. We are walking slowly towards fascism in the west and we should be careful.

We are all different humans so lets treat each others that way!

Hey, KISS fans might be dumb, but they’re not stupid.

If the end result is violence on them, I think they earned it.
