Well it seems you know so much about these organizations than me, despite my decade of experience, and so much more about the phenomenon, despite my years of study. I defer to your expertise.

What youre talking about is attenuation. Also, how is an authority immune to this? Nobody who makes decisions is within five degrees of normal. There are ways around this. I can recommend a dense podcast or a dense doorstopper book+a normalish book as a primer.
an ‘organization’ is a magic spell that completely negates this immutable human nature ive been talking about. And yes requires a fuhrer.
All right, well, I’ll just end off with “Fuhrers don’t control anything”. Look at Gorbachev; he tried to change the system and it launched multiple coups against him until he was gone. Organisations (or institutions, or whatever word you’d prefer) run themselves, there’s no such a thing as a leader.
So institutions are magic and unaccountable inhuman systems are a good thing?
I remember a story about a guy, world war one vet, that war fucked him up, became a rabid Nazi literally in it for the dehumanization and (the ‘I jack off to being turned into paste by a beautiful perfect machine’ itallian futurist) type philosophy, Until he saw what the Bolshevik reactionaries did with Russia.
He was immediately and unironicly like ‘hey, wow, this is so much worse. I’m defecting to these guys now.’ and then did it.
You remind me of that. This is praise of your novelty, condemnation of your everything else. Big ‘thanks, I hate it!’ Vibes

Nah, your way doesn’t threaten anyone in power.

Last word is yours, I guess.
