It's just the fascism. Fascist governments don't need or want the approval of their populace so long as they have a way to keep the people in line, like keeping the mass of your population uneducated, underemployed, and on the verge of poverty.
Or, if your fascist government is so incompetent that it thinks it has this kind of control.
I really, really don't think there's anything deeper here than just the fascism.
- aeonik 8mo agoI thought fascist was the literal opposite of this. Where the population is indoctrinated and is more embedded into war machine. They kinda become one. Vanilla authoritarianism, or other forms of government don't need approval from citizens. Oligarchy, monarch, etc... but at the end of the day, even a dictator needs to keep some critical level of people happy.
