In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control.
– Theodore Dalrymple
I’ve thought for years that everything liberals do is a test to see how well their plan to dumb down and destroy the country is going. Obama, illegal invaders and global warming are like a gigantic final exam. They throw in things like “gay marriage” and even “hands up, don’t shoot” just to see how fast idiots will latch onto things that are total BS. The saddest part of living through the demise of this once great country is seeing just how well it’s worked, thanks to the internet. It’s amazing to see how these people parrot things they’ve been told, word for word. When their glorious leader says things like “97% of climate scientists agree….’ and you KNOW where that came from and you KNOW that it’s total bull$hit, it’s like banging your head against the wall. These idiots have all the information available to them just like we do and yet, they willfully ignore anything that goes against what they’ve been programmed to think and say.
I spent the first 30 years of my life listening to air raid sirens every single day at noon, reminding everyone that the communists could bomb us into oblivion at any moment. Meanwhile, they were right here, working, just like Stalin and company said, to destroy this country from within. Now that they’ve pretty much succeeded, I doubt they have a clue what comes next.
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero, 2050 years ago
Hear, hear.
And to paraphrase another Roman, although the saying is not original with me: Islam Delenda Est.
Who was it that said, “People are easily fooled. Only the sting of battle wakes them up.” ?
