Book 1 Blog 2

Can citizens learn to worship or love a tyrant or only to fear him or her? 

 I feel that it depends on how the tyrant is as a person and how much of a hold they have over the people. For instance, North Korea leader Kim Jung Uh basically has his people brainwashed into thinking that what they have is all good and the everyone else is against them accept for those that are on there side. Mainly though I feel that most people would learn to worship a tyrant because they have the rule and say how things will be done and any punishments that would go along those going against him or her. If the people were to love a tyrant I would say it is because he or she manipulates the people in the fact to tell them lies to make them believe he or she is a strong force.  Worship would be easiest for people who do not care much for the tyrant because they could just go through the motions of showing their commitment to the leader and just go on with their lives. Plus, if the people go along with what the rules are nothing will happen as long as they follow the rules.
