Quote by Ludwig von Mises on Courage and Resistance to Popular Movements

"It is hardly necessary to point out that the inability of the masses to judge correctly deprives them of any capacity for critical thought—that is, the ability to distinguish truth from error and to form a sound judgment. The judgments adopted by the masses are merely imposed on them and are never the result of careful examination. Many individuals, in this respect, do not rise above the level of the crowd. The ease with which certain opinions become widely accepted is due above all to the inability of most people to form an opinion of their own on the basis of personal reasoning." Gustave Le Bon

"Before the pandemic, I thought that the masses didn't know what was going on in the world because they didn't have enough time to educate themselves. I now realize that's not a good excuse. The average beer drinker who is addicted to “Love Island” and other reality shows had enough time to do their research and realize who controls our world and how they do it, but they chose not to. Ignorance is a choice, and that choice is costing us our rights and freedom. The average person doesn't want to know the truth; there is no thirst for knowledge, no inner desire to regain our freedom or protect our children's rights. As long as people have enough bread, entertainment, and beer to drink away their worries and celebrate “their” victories, they are quite content to be ruled. In fact, they enjoy it because it relieves them of their personal responsibilities. So it's a good thing that the future of society lies in the hands of an angry and tireless minority, not a sleeping majority. You can call them “conspiracy theorists.” I call them freedom activists, servants of truth. It doesn't take a majority to win, just an angry and tireless minority willing to light the fires of freedom in the minds of the people." Unbekannt
