Alan Watts Being in the Way

NOTE

Exploitation of Guilt and Dictatorship

Dictatorships often manipulate and exploit individuals by instilling guilt in them, making them hate themselves and seek redemption through obedience. This exploitation of guilt serves as the primary method for authoritarian governments to enforce compliance. Under dictatorships, the notion of equality is twisted to view everyone as equally inferior and guilty until proven innocent. The common principle of innocence until proven guilty is often disregarded. This manipulation aims to control individuals and justify authoritarian rule, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all existence and one's nature as part of the universe.
