at the beginning
" The art of leadership. . . consists in consolidating the attention of the
people against a single adversary and taking care that nothing will
split up that attention. "
" The size of the lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed, for
the vast masses of the nation are in the depths of their hearts
more easily deceived than they are consciously and intentionally bad.
The primitive simplicity of their minds renders them a more easy prey to a big
lie than a small one, for they themselves often tell little
lies, but would be ashamed to tell a big one."
"What luck for rulers that men do not think. "
--- Adolf Hitler
and at the end
The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. . . .All you
have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the
peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works
the same in any country." - Hermann Goering before being
sentenced to death at Nuremberg
Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are
conservatives.
John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873)
