The “nobody can know what the law really is except the president” theory of government.
This is the political equivalent of the kind of papal absolutism protestant polemicists used to parody in their attacks on the Catholic Church. It’s absurd.

The Social Media Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
God it's so cool that so much of British and European nationalist politics has broadly been shaped by warehouse clickfarms rented by guys in South Asia running "how to make money from racist old people" workshops, and that this has had more influence on media and politics than any grassroots group

So much of the anxiety we have about proof, argument, first principles, and universal norms seems reducible to the need to have a Father Figure one can appeal to as the final arbiter in our disagreements with others.
