It has frequently been observed that terror can rule absolutely only
over people who are isolated against each other and that therefore one
of the primary concerns of tyrannical government is to bring this
isolation about.
Isolation may be the beginning of terror; it certainly
is its most fertile ground; it always is its result. This isolation is,
as it were, pre-totalitarian; its hallmark is impotence insofar as power
always comes from people acting together, acting in concert; isolated
people are powerless by definition.”
Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
