Decentralized authoritarianism is an inherently weird concept. Sounds more like a vicious type of mob rule to me.

- xg15 6y agoI meant physically decentralized - as in, no grand palaces or other government buildings that can be stormed, because the whole administration is working from home. Imagine a 100% remote company, except, it's not a company. The power structures are of course not decentralized at all.
- xg15 6y ago... that being said, an authoritarian state with decentralized power structure is also an interesting concept. The episodes about social scoring from Black Mirror [1] and The Orville [2] might go into that direction.
