Quotes by S.M. Anderson (?)

“There’s always going to be the one percent out there. Evil dickheads, at both ends of the political spectrum, just wanting the power. They’re nothing, one percent, if that. Easily ignored if it weren’t for the nasty, efficient, ambitious, back stabbing fifteen or twenty percent that don’t believe in anything one way or another. They just feed off of the power and authority, and in turn, grow it, protect it. I don’t care if it’s the New Caliphate, South American Junta Republic, the Central Asian Bloc, Nazi Germany, Mao’s China, the Soviet Union, or hell, Russia at any time in the last 600 years. It comes down to the bureaucrats that owe their allegiance to the system or entity that employs them and everything they’ll do to grow and protect the power they see as theirs.”

“A guiding hand, no matter how benevolent or light can’t help but strive to protect itself, its institutions, its power, its bureaucracy and its authority over time.”

“Starvation was a great motivator. Fear, chaos, and trauma were the ultimate recruitment tools. Add in the idea of acting for the supposed benefit of all, and there was very little that people wouldn’t be able to justify doing.”
