The idea is that in a populist scenario the command chain of a dictator-like government has to repeat exactly what the leader says. And that would come from the responsible authoritarian leaders being representatives for the people. But in a way that they are the people. And that comes from a strong “I am you” image projected by the authoritarian leader.
I will elaborate more on this later as it interests me profoundly.
Thankfully, the literature on it is quite extense. I have prepared some books to read on the “Authoritarian Personality” and on the “Sociology of Power”. It is just a shower thought after all.
Luckily I’ll be able to make sense of this and produce something that will make it able for people to understand it as well.
A blog post, a Lemmy comment, something like that.
do you think this is interesting? people clearly have a strong opinion about it given the downvotes.
You’re getting down voted because no one knows what you mean, not because they have an opinion on… whatever this topic is.
As someone who downvoted, yes, what @surewhynotlem said is exactly why I downvoted.
And given that OP is unwilling to elaborate any, this whole thread seems like just a frustrating waste of time.

I can’t tell if this is a language translation problem, or if you’re on mushrooms. But that wasn’t coherent I’m afraid.
I don’t know if it’s interesting because I don’t know what it even is.
