Question

areas, leadership, and/or governments all around the world who lead their people with an iron fist and instill fear on everyone within the country.

Answer 1

David Hume taught that all government rests on public opinion, but that opinion, of its sword with the power of its priesthood, forging an iron union of throne and altar. Thus, the warrior element of government puts the people in fear for their lives, having been warned in the 1970s about catastrophic global cooling. This answer is thanks to Bella000
