The authoritarian and totalitarian ethos was formed under a powerful influence of ideologies of the communist parties and politocracy in these countries so that the political ethos of politicians dominated the political ethos of the citizen.
The political ethos is a part of the sociocentric ethos which regulates behavior of members of a political community concerning the realization of collective goals, general and group interests as well as the realization of their duties and rights in the political struggle.

A nationalist is one who thinks solely, or mainly, in terms of competitive prestige…[H]is thoughts always turn on victories, defeats, triumphs and humiliations…[H]aving picked his side, he persuades himself that it is the strongest, and is able to stick to his belief even when the facts are overwhelmingly against him.

The unionist identity and ethos comprise a sense of Britishness, allied to their particular sense of Irishness and a set of values comprising a Protestant ethos which they believe to be under threat from a Catholic ethos, perceived as reflecting different and often opposing values.
