I really don’t know.
I’m sure you heard of Milgram’s experiments at Yale in the early 60s? Scary stuff. Group think is impossible to break. There’s always an us if there’s a them. I guess that’s what I mean by “identity”. People taking themselves waaaay too seriously. Some actually get paid to do so. And some enjoy it enough to crush 19 year old skulls.
No one in the United States has property that can’t be taken away by the force of the state. Depressing but true. Crazy for people to ever identify with government power. The tables can always be turned.
