“When we feel a lack of personal
control, we compensate by looking for order or predictability in our
environment. So we desire and perceive
governments and gods to be particularly powerful. Those who suffer inequity often even defend
the social system responsible, rather than accept that life has been unjust.”
Based on
Friesen and Kay as reported in NYT 22 June 2013
Case in point, the popularity of
Putin in Russia and popular working class support for the Republicans who are anti-labor in US.
