    most honest people like to be able to explain (to themselves at the very least) why they are doing what it is that they are being told to do. When one can’t come up with a satisfying answer, that’s when the authority of the leader will need examining, having their integrity weighed and measured, and considered for rejection/replacement (choice of the follower to defect from that particular dictatorship). The issue these days is that most people have no deep driven reasoning for anything that they are doing on a day to day basis, aside from the usual tendencies towards self-preservation.
