      Imagine you are on a demo and see the Russian Tsardom, Russian Federation and USSR flag flown right next to each other.

        If you think you’re making up something now, you will be surprised. This is actually a thing, as there are “Stalin good, Purin good, Nikolai 2 good” people - they dig for historical confirmations of authoritarian rule being effective, and promote it: “let’s get ourself a tzar, he’ll take care of everything!”

          The unspoken assumption is that change is impossible. Like the universe itself dictates a steep gradient, and the only way things could be different is by shuffling around who goes where. So if someone is suffering, they must have fucked up to deserve it, and if you want to help them, you’re putting someone else in their place. This worldview, rooted in interpersonal loyalty, always amounts to “well somebody’s gotta be king.” Might as well be your team.
