The philosophers, who are full of hatred for the traditions and lifestyle of their ancestors and are alienated from the culture and history of their country, have a tendency to devote a disproportionate amount of time for making pessimistic predictions about the future.
To them every politician that they dislike in their country is a potential Hitler or Mussolini, and an apocalypse is always round the corner. They see potential recruits for totalitarian religious and fascist movements in their countrymen. Such philosophers are followed by a horde of ignorant, unwise, and cowardly folks, who blindly accept everything that their philosopher says, and become alienated from their ancestors, fellow citizens, country, and culture.
For such a flock of “True Believers,” nothing in the past or present seems good enough—they pine for a total revolution which they believe will pave way for the rise of a utopia where their philosophy reigns supreme.
