In the name of the Fuhrer.

 In the field of sociology and psychology there is an interesting term - which refers to the relationship between the individual and the leader. This concept is referred to as - in the name of the Fuhrer, or leader. In other words, people do things - assuming the Fuhrer, would approve either implicitly or explicitly. They arrogant to themselves the authority to act with this in mind. Therefore terrible heinous acts might be committed as a motivation. This in part accounts for why - relatively normal German people - would behave in bestial ways. Why German citizens collectively - in the name of the Fuhrer - allowed for the holocaust and concentration camps? This is an unconscious wish and desire to please - the father figure. So this need is acted out by this behaviour. We can see this today in America - with the presidential race. Ordinary citizens behaving as if the leader - Trump, would endorse. This is how countries quickly degenerate into a dystopian and dysfunctional world. Orwell was right in his diagnosis in 1984 - Big Brother is alive and well.
