Once you see them, it's so obvious that it's impossible not to.

And that's what all the shouting slogans and fist pumping and yelling and waving was all about: lose your face, submit, and don't pay attention to what you're actually doing, or the content of what's being said to you, and implied. The repetition has its purposes, the sing-song inflections, and the charismania is deliberate, and artfully employed. That's the delirium you see in the audience. Controlled frenzy used as a tool of a power-mad demagogue (or demi-god).
Aron, your writing really impressed me. Here is some more hard evidence of "Controlled Frenzy" & "Cultural Imperialism" from 1987:
