I imagine how well people tolerate what they shouldn't has something to do with being Authoritarian Followers. And something maybe connected with those who glory in hazing culture. And we must grow past that kind of idiocy.
If I worked for someone who treated me like that and then, decades later, I heard that they'd finally died, I'd say IT'S ABOUT FUCKING TIME! and have a little party.
- quietplatypus 10y agoI think I know what you're talking about when you mention Authoritarian Followers---something like abused kids who only know how to deal with situations in which they are abused, even when they grow up. The worse part is they want to have "followers" themselves as well, subconsciously, repeating the cycle. I still have many properties of Authoritarian Followerism in myself, but I'm making progress. One of the difficult parts is many people around me show blatant signs of that followerism and it's easy to get sucked back down with them. E.g., a coworker protested my protestations against our company stack ranking employees based on "quantitative" metrics, and then many months later backpedaled on his words when someone who had a more important title said the same concerns.
