The Dictator’s Bubble

A psychological and political phenomenon in which an authoritarian leader becomes isolated from accurate information due to state-controlled propaganda, loyalist networks, and filtered intelligence, causing them to overestimate their own power, the strength of their country, or the effectiveness of their policies. This bubble reinforces overconfidence, suppresses dissent, and increases the likelihood of strategic miscalculations, especially in military, economic, or political decision-making.

Welcome to the thing we are all doing... At this point in time we are experiencing...
Hym "The (Psychic) Dictatorship of 'the people you SHOULD be listening to'. It's one large Tu Quoque fallacy. You can see it everywhere. All over YouTube. They don't just arbitrate what you should think or how you should behave... They also dictate 'Who should or should not be listened to.' YOU NEED TO BE TOLD THAT BY YOUR BETTERS APPARENTLY!

Literally 98% of the YouTubers "Don't listen to THEM! You don't even have to listen to ME... But you SHOULD be listening to ME IN ABSTRACTION as someone who WOULD say the things I WOULD SAY to reinforce my ideological presuppositions!"
