Which government is preferred, the one where the oligarchy employees puppets to handle the levelers of power, or the one where they take those levels into their own hands? That is what Trumps team looks like. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

When the narrative moves from I wish your ideas were dead to I wish you were dead, the killing will determine the public sentiment, not reason, not righteousness nor the truth. Those things have never underpinned the public sentiment, only common belief underpins it. How does one attain common belief without sharing belief?

I like to believe that the children destined to spend a lifetime of labor in the rare earth mineral mines in Africa to support my lifestyle have it easier than the captured slaves of Roman armies who spent the remainder of their lives in hard labor. Either way, is the fix in changing my lifestyle or is it in changing theirs?

Some people really do believe that just because they have authority that doesnβt make them authoritarians.
Theorist worry about the effects of small changes that time travelers might make to history, with the same concern, we should all revel the small changes we can make each day.
We are not trying to make the world safe for democracy. We are trying to make democracy safe for us!
There are few things in the world that I believe are true, but one thing I will never doubt is the people running the government will not hesitate to grind us all into gore on their bloody battlefield and lie to us about the nobility of their intentions. Liberty is always what the authority says it is. Freedom is choosing to believe it or not.
As Trump continue to march on, just as Caesar crossed the Rubicon, the US elite are like Pompey, not knowing that they cannot merely stomp the ground to bring forth from the earth legions of fighters for Rome.
