If modern people want to survive, they must rely on the existence of order, no matter how bad the order is.
But if people cannot be protected by the order, if they are abandoned by the original order, then they will instinctively turn to another place, looking for a place that can shelter them... This has nothing to do with people's kindness or evil.
After justice and due rights are gone, helpless people can only huddle together for warmth, seek new authority, rely on religion or organizations, even if these authorities are more nakedly corrupt and hideous.
