In this chapter, I examine the ways that restriction of human freedom by other humans arises by looking at how dominance, aggression, and environmental factors can shape individuals into those who desire control of others. The comparison of the traits as they appear in herd animals with how they appear in humans as well as cases for why they would be beneficial are used to demonstrate that the traits are not inherently negative. From this, an exploration of the dark tetrad traits is used to provide further explanation for how leaning into dominance and aggression to limit the freedom of others can become a source of pleasure for some. The chapter also peers into some of the methods used to restrict the freedom of others ranging from the more overt behaviors such as bullying and domestic abuse to more passive behaviors like obstructive bureaucracy. Finally, theories of cognitive development are used to give possible insights as to why some fall in line with the authoritarians who work to take away their freedoms.
