Mr. Sunshine delivers another cheerful monologue on our deep and persistent strain of authoritarian thought! Book those children's parties now!
Subtopics:
America's puritanical tradition began on the Mayflower. Why totalitarian cultural eugenics might do more harm than "good." Agitprop and authoritarianism are conjoined twins. Can a true Democracy even defend itself? The generational tyranny of tradition; each new generation has the right to rule itself free from the yoke of their dead ancestors. Is authoritarianism, like deceit and self-deception, an inherent trait rather than a character flaw? Is it democracy's self-destruct button? A brief introduction to Harold Lasswell. And finally, if you suddenly find you lack the freedom to NOT believe, you're living in a theocracy. Stand up. Push back.
