The Allure of Authoritarianism Among the Young

This chapter examines the surprising attraction that younger generations have towards authoritarian leadership, juxtaposing their disdain for traditional governance with a preference for strong, unelected leaders. It discusses the socio-economic challenges facing today's youth and how these contribute to their perception of dictatorship as a means of achieving effective, immediate change. Through historical examples and reflections on generational differences, the chapter invites listeners to ponder the implications of such inclinations towards governance.
