Don't contort yourself around theories of "false consciousness" to explain why fascism is always so fucking popular. People suck. They are generally far more sociopathic than you want to admit. This is why they should never be allowed to rule over others.
It is sincerely not my intention to insult. I just don’t understand @rechelon‘s argument here. It is frustrating if you argue your way around game theoretic dynamics by a blanket reference to a body of political ideas that almost nobody accepts. I am sorry I reacted at all.

The distinction between rules and rulership is not problematic to Gillis' philosophy. It's also a rather elementary one. It's okay if you're unfamiliar but it's also okay if he'd rather not tutor on this topic.

Why will individuals obey rules without governance, if people "suck" (<– bad political philosophy) and are sociopathic (yes, about 6%)? Some people will aways break all the rules if they think it benefits them.
