Meaning the people have to consent, participate, habituate or resign themselves to it first for authority to have any chance of controlling them for sustained periods of time. But the common belief is that control happens from the top down. That is, the people are forced to obey by some mysterious force of a cabal of wealth and power. This is not just a belief in conspiracy theorists. The majority of people believe it. Perhaps this is a false dichotomy. And the people themselves *are* authority, one and the same, co trolling themselves. And leaders are merely a proxy for it, puppets. WIP
