# Hero Culture
Hero culture is a [harmful](harmful.md) culture of creating and worshiping heroes and "leaders" (and other kinds of [celebrities](celebrity.md)) which leads to e.g. creation of [cults of personality](cult_of_personality.md), strengthening [fight culture](fight_culture.md) and establishing hierarchical, anti-[anarchist](anarchism.md) society of "winners" and "losers". The concept of a hero is one that arose in context of [wars](war.md) and other many times violent conflicts; a hero is different from a mere authority or a well known individual in some area, it is someone who creates fear of disagreement and whose image is distorted to a much more positive, sometimes godlike state, by which he distorts truth and is given a certain power over others. Therefore [we](lrs.md) highly warn about falling to the trap of hero culture, though this is very difficult in current highly hierarchical society. **To us, the word hero has a pejorative meaning**. Our advice is always this:
*"Personally I've never had much time for heroes."* --wise words from [Albus Dumbledore](wizard.md)

**Do NOT create heroes. Follow ideas, not people**. Also similarly: hate ideas, not people, and follow ideas, not groups.
