Life includes much servitude, some of it by choice, the rest by different forms of demand. We are born in servitude, we must obey our parents to survive. Many religions hold that we remain there for a lifetime, always living in glory of a deity.
The worst circumstance is to be born in service to a despot. Such authorities are the dumbest form of leadership and therefore require the most painful servitude. Those who rule by authority are surrounded by ambitious, mendacious fools. They mix self certainty with pure incompetence and overcome this only with greater demands.
There are people who seek out rule by asserted stupidity. They lack not only empathy for those crushed by the authority, but a lack of intellectual confidence to the point that they would rather live in a world without expertise than be given direction by someone assumed smarter than they are. Such fevers always break in time, but never without tremendous destruction and sometimes horror.
