Abstract
The chapter is devoted to ethology and the driving forces of mass movements, highlighting fanaticism, power, and the blogosphere. Where there are social problems and literate people, sharp minds with a mastery of words arise to define these problems and create unrest among those who can read, hear, and understand. Unless those in power shower honors and rewards on these sharp minds and masters of words, thus ripping out their stings and destroying their utility in creating dissension, conditions will ripen to the point where a leader will arise as the savior of the disenfranchised. Those who come to power are not fanatics; they are usually practical men of action, possessed of a different kind of genius. They know how to shape working problems out of the seething masses of people. They are career rulers – a different set from those who have recently fallen from power. The masses desire the strong and support power while it is strong. The masses rebel not against the wickedness of the old regime, but against the weak. At first, the masses feel that the government has weakened, and then they begin to remind it of the bad things it did.
