Episode notes
Focus on understanding the followers of authoritarian figures rather than the leaders themselves, as every generation produces its own dictators. Analyzing the psychology and motivations of a population willing to support strongmen uncovers deeper insights into societal dynamics and the conditions that give rise to such leadership. This perspective shifts the analytical lens from the individual tyrants to the collective responses of society, drawing on historical insights to explore the factors that perpetuate these patterns.
