I think the whole question of Monotheism/Polytheism is overrated. It's simply a numerical difference, somtimes only by one or two. This doesn't mean much because even in so called Monotheism there is usually a bunch of guys which are quasi-godlike. Monotheistic forms arose very often in history, as i already said - it means not very much.

Here you say, in other words: "less intelligent" people care much of what authorities say. This may lead to change of older opinions based on views expressed earlier by other authorities. Yes, this might be true.

Your views leave open the question what "less intelligent" people do if something contradicts their belief but no authorities guide them through.

To the more knowledgeable: this movie is almost completely wrong on almost everything. I cannot understand how people with reading ability were able to produce such a movie and call the central person D. K. 99.9% of all "facts" provided are wrong. Asade from that, it's a nice fairytale where the people bear names from early mongol histroy.

There is not a single movie who deals with D.K. in a bearable way. Good book: J. Curtain, The Mongols: A History, Foreword from T. Roosevelt (1905), and other books mentioned in the thread

Wow!

This was exactly the solution the germans came to 60 y ago. It was even called like "solution" in german. The did exactly this, identify the people who might bring most harm to the good part of the society. Due to the sheer amount of people, they did not really manage to shoot them but solved the problem by other means. The important thing, like in your case, they did not like what the did but were very sure to do the right thing.

In other parts of the world today (some are the U.S. best allies) you may simply just marry more than one of these "children" between 13 and 18. Problem also solved.

Thats not very precise, it's a heavy oversimplification. The potential opposition was very small. The Stasi's main function was to oppose western secret services who learned the hard way the GDR-Stasi was an opponent to consider. In the power system of the GDR, the Stasi was, more often than not - opposed to the leading party members and their connections. In this, she was very similar to the SD of the old Nazi Germany before 1945. It used (for filing of their information on people) almost the same card-system that Heydrich invented in the late 1930-ies.
