In reference to your comment regarding "love of authority, and regulatory structure," Belgian psychologist Mattias Desmet discusses the need to eliminate fear and uncertainty by means of rules, in his 2022 book the Psychology of Totalitarianism. In chapter 5 The Desire for a Master p. 84 he states: "They arise mainly from the pressing need among the population for an authoritarian institution that provides direction to take the burden of freedom and the associated insecurity off their shoulders." Unquestioning obedience to the rules of our "expert" masters provides psychological security and comfort, and eliminates any need for thinking. There is therefore no personal responsibility for decisions made, and their consequences to oneself and others.
