Australian psychiatrist and author Dr. Niall McLaren believes civil disobedience presents a means of stopping domination hierarchies in a society spiraling towards outright fascism.

McLaren believes humans have a natural disposition towards forms of domination and if left unchecked, a political system of “narcisso-fascism” arises.  McLaren told In Context:

We see this playing out in the world every day, but none clearer than in the U.S., where their president is obsessed to the point of mania with forcing everybody to do as he tells them: ‘Do as we say or we’ll slap tariffs and sanctions on you, we’ll deport you or blow you up.’ He doesn’t care how much he damages people or even his own country, as long as he can order people around, he’s happy. As is typical, he constantly tests the limits.
