30: Authoritarianism
Authoritarianism and the Orange Alert Security State
The psychological state of the American public is examined through the lens of T.W. Adorno's "The Authoritarian Personality" and Bob Altemeyer's "The Authoritarians." The permanent "Orange Alert" status at US airports is cited as a tool used to maintain a passive, fearful population that accepts increasing government control.
