> does mean that we don't react well to authoritative control I find that ironic, because US-ians are the first to throw themselves on the pulpit to their chosen deities. Be it politicians (or political parties), especially wealthy people or their favourite corporations. I suppose the difference is that nobody really forces you worship any of these people in particular, you might, from a far, notice that they all center across worship of the economic system. Which is "extract value and externalise cost at all times" with a minor emphasis on equating dollar-worth to intrinsic value to society. EDIT: Downvoting me doesn't really prove anything; You might not feel devout to your overlords but you certainly appear that way from the outside. (from a UK/Swedish perspective~)
