To shape is to decide or influence the form of something, especially a belief or idea, or someone’s character.
Many people cannot shape their own destinies or their own ideas.
Totalitarian regimes strategically employ symbols, and imagery to cultivate a sense of power, unity, and control, effectively shaping people’s beliefs and identities. The aesthetics of totalitarianism are often appealing due to their simplicity and clarity.
Moreover, totalitarian aesthetics emphasize order, discipline, and uniformity, which can create a compelling visual appeal through symmetry. This structured visual language fosters a sense of belonging, making individuals feel connected to something larger than themselves—the imposing nature of symbols to a sense of power, which can be both intimidating and alluring.
In addition, totalitarian symbols and imagery offer a clear and simplified sense of identity and purpose. In a complex world, these symbols can be comforting to those who feel lost or disconnected, providing a sense of belonging to a cause or nation. _The symbols gain power through their emotional resonance, making them difficult to ignore or resist.
