“Universal suffrage did not give the masses the right to decide, but to approve the decision of one elite or another.”
José Ortega y Gasset
“What would be in store for mankind, for example, if one wanted to take advantage of the fear of bacilli and create regulations of a legal nature against the fight against bacilli. ( ) It is impossible to control all this, but it would lead to impossible conditions, to an intolerable tyranny.”
Rudolf Steiner
“The general population doesn’t know what’s happening, and it doesn’t even know that it doesn’t know.”
Noam Chomsky
“The ideal tyranny is that which is ignorantly self-administered by its victims. The most perfect slaves are, therefore, those which blissfully and unawaredly enslave themselves.”
James Dresden
“The existence of evil in our world is not a reason to disarm law-abiding citizens who know how to use their weapon, the existence of evil is one of the very best reasons to arm law-abiding citizens.”
Donald John Trump
“You’re going to be a homogenized consumer class of worker drones in order for them to establish Elysium, and this is also where … the metaverse comes in. Transhumanism, this is your bread and circuses now. It’s virtual bread and circuses to distract you from the suffering that goes on all around you.”
Jack Posobiec
“The perfect dictatorship would have the appearance of democracy, a prison without walls in which the prisoners would not dream of escape. A system of slavery where, through consumption and entertainment, slaves would love their servitude.”
Aldous Huxley
“Most gun control arguments miss the point. If all control boils fundamentally to force, how can one resist aggression without equal force? How can a truly “free” state exist if the individual citizen is enslaved to the forceful will of individual or organized aggressors? It cannot.”
