Despotic Rushing (or using the Despotic Whip) is a powerful early game strategy that takes advantage of the fact that your population can be sacrificed for shields, which can be used to speed build city improvements and/or military units.
The technique was somewhat weakened per this latest patch (because they changed the way unhappiness works) but the whip itself is still quite powerful (in essence, you can "whip" a temple together in VERY short order, cos the happiness effect of the temple counters the unhappiness effect of the whipping). Used in moderation, you will see insanely rapid development of your new cities.
