Kurzon posted:CGPGrey's video is an imperfect summary of selectorate theory, which was developed by the political scientist Bruce Bueno de Mesquita. Grey's videos on politics while often informative, come from the perspective of someone who is very good at science thinking he is also very smart at policy and politics. As for the social conservative piece of dictatorships, someone in the thread I think really hit on it. Dictatorships need constant threats to stay in power because if you are constantly under threat, people are more likely to allow bending of civil liberties and rights. Related to that though, I come back to the the Anti-Sex League of 1984. I think there is something to be said for when people can care about other people are can experience happiness sans the dictatorships, it undermines the power of the state who knows what is best for you. If you can care about something that the powers have try to tell you is bad, you question the state and you start believing in things other than orthodoxly of the state/dictator/cult.
