    AYup. Y’all could do with some remedial Joseph de Maistre. "You get the motherfucking government you deserve. "

    Ok I’m paraphrasing but I actually like this one better:

    Man is insatiable for power; he is infinite in his desires, and, always discontented with what he has, he loves only what he has not. People complain about the despotism of princes; they should complain about that of man. We are all born despots, from the most absolute monarch of Asia to the child who smothers a bird with his hand for the pleasure of seeing something in the world weaker than himself.

    Fucking scans man. The people seemed to want this, it’s not surprising, or new under the sun. This shit did not happen in a vacuum, it was permitted to happen. Again.
