It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche

That look of certainty, as if they know something that the rest of us don't.

Hitler's 1934 propaganda move Triumph of the Will is an interesting but long (2 hours) watch. The scenes showing the Nazi rallies are disturbingly similar to Trump's ones. The power of harnessing the 'hive mind' is demonstrated in both cases.

They don't half look silly in those jodpurs, with not a horse in sight...
It does rather spoil the intended effect of 'We know what's wrong with the world, & we're going to fix it',while looking very stern & determined.
Evil bastards, the lot of them.
And our species in large numbers tends to be scarily easy to manipulate, even after all the lessons we've had throughout history of what can happen..
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)

They look as if they each have an adhesive period pad on their ears.

Probably we shouldn't laugh; that could just be possibly in order to prevent more brain matter escaping through their eardrums & they don't appear to have much to spare...
