In many developing and underdeveloped countries, bootlicking and hero worship are pretty common. People often feel the need to flatter or idolize those in power because thatās how they survive or get ahead. When power is concentrated in the hands of a few, itās risky to challenge authority, so people end up praising leaders excessively or even worshipping them. Hero worship happens when people are desperate for change and put all their hopes on one person, ignoring that personās flaws or mistakes. This can lead to leaders being treated like heroes or saviors, which makes it harder to hold them accountable for their actions. Both of these behaviors can hold back progress because they reinforce the existing power structures and discourage people from thinking critically or pushing for real change.
