How does
obedience/leadership work? Because nobody can make you do anything, so why do
people listen? What’s the process that allows this?
I still don’t understand how the untouchables could possibly have become untouchables, considering how shitty the treatment was that the received. Nobody can walk all over you unless you let them. Again, I wonder how women came to be trampled on by men; surely, they too had a hand to play in their own fate. Another good example of this is of the M__ in southern Somalia, as described in Infidel.
Why should (it be that) the wealthy have more manners than the poor?
Why does it seem that the natural state of the world is to be under the rule of dictators? This is the worst form of government, and yet it seems the most natural and prevalent. What’s one man against the whole country? And yet, they can’t fight against him. How can 99% of the power go to one person, the other 1% to the people?
Isn't it strange that the religion of collectivist societies are highly individualistic (subjective, with an emphasis on personal experiences), but in individualistic societies it's just the opposite (objective, with a focus on fellowship)?
