Summary of text [comment] pages 54 and 55

[Manichaen simplicity eases the exercise of sovereign power.

How?

Thinkpro-object and thinkanti-object organize society.

They incite two attitudes.

One is passivity (the pursuit of balance).

The other is mob action (the pursuit of imbalance).

The first is useful for controlling people.

The second releases social pressures through scapegoating.]
