@SSVUN~YAH's pdf was about the nature of those in a position of authority, the temptations that authority facillitates, and those that choose to blindly follow these people, without questioning the motive, nature or even the ethics of their required duties. At least that's what I think it's about, I have read it all
A lot of it is how people are conditioned. It's been established that our two-party political dynamic is brought about by a the psychological dichotomy of the stern father vs. the nurturing father parenting styles, which basically boil down to opposing family management techniques (and has nothing to do with paternalism versus maternalism imho). It's pretty easy to deduce which of these styles creates democrats and which creates republicans, as one is based upon cooperation with one another and one is based upon competition against each other. Everything is done for a reason, including the way
many local police forces won't accept candidates with higher IQ's ("they will get too bored"; yeah right, it's more about following stupid orders from the intellectually inferior, again regardless of the ethics).
Authoritarianism is based upon a top-down hierarchical (vertical) management structure but it's also been established that there is a place for a more cooperative, horizontal management style. Think of
costco vs. walmart, they have very different ways of treating their employees. One style empowers the workers, which reduces turnover and training costs, creates more competent employees, adds to the community it is based in, and is always increasing profitability. The other is more machiavellian, always trying to hold wages down so they are always training new employees, which makes it hard to offer competent customer service, or even keep the shelves stocked in many instances. While their low wages force these employees to strain the public safety net just to survive. Companies run like this are at war with everybody, including the politicians that they "lobby" for special tax breaks which further weakens the community they are based in. Everyone wants a costco, while more empowered communities are passing
anti-walmart legislation. Guess whose stock is performing better, and which company has put their worldwide expansion plans on hold?
They call these vertical, oppressive management styles "old school" for a reason, and that reason is that they are becoming extinct like the dinosaurs. This includes (but is not limited to) the dinosaur that is currently calling the shots in the world, as a result of winning wwii due to the favorable geography of the land they stole at the end of the gun barrel that they introduced to this new world, along with deadly diseases, and such lovely concepts as slavery, racial cleansing and genocide. We're also currently supporting zionism which has gone way past a failed policy, as antisemitism is on an unprecedented rise all over the world, putting the israeli people at more risk than hamas could ever dream of.
"Konosuke Matsushita firmly believed that a business as large as his was responsible to help all of society prosper, and not simply for those that owned and ran the company to prosper. In 1933 Matsushita, during the great depression, created seven “guiding principles":
- Service to the public – by providing high-quality goods and services at reasonable prices, we contribute to the public’s well-being;
- Fairness and honesty – we will be fair and honest in all our business dealings and personal conduct;
- Teamwork for the common cause – we will pool abilities, based on mutual trust and respect;
- Uniting effort for improvement – we will constantly strive to improve our corporate and personal performances;
- Courtesy and humility – we will always be cordial and modest and respect the rights and needs of others;
- Accordance with natural laws – we will abide by the laws of nature and adjust to the ever-changing conditions around us; and
- Gratitude for blessings – we will always be grateful for all the blessings and kindness we have received.”
Because the “guiding principles” are such powerful statements and an extension of the Japanese cultural into business, the principles have been renamed the “Seven Spirits of Matsushita" to honor Matsushita."
and as MB i would have said "well yes sir i will certainly do that for you... my apologies kind officer".
