Study history and you may wonder, "Why did they follow that terrible leader to their own ruin?"
In my old age the path to ruin illuminates itself.
Step 1: Take away hope for positive change; e.g. its only going to get worse; i.e. the best days are behind us.
Step 2: Find someone to blame. Divide the population such that neighbors revile one another.
Step 3: Wait for any bad thing to happen and assign blame based on step 2.
Step 4: Repeat step 3 as needed for personal profit. The cost, suffering of many people, should be ignored.
Step 5: Your life and ruined civilization is an example for others to avoid.
