The danger is populism—a degraded form of democracy that promises to make good on democracy’s highest ideals (“Let the people rule!”).

― Jan-Werner Müller, What Is Populism?

He didn’t dare laugh, though. He was not giving August that satisfaction.”
― Cari Z., L. A. Witt

“According to rumors, the lowest level is is Level 2. It seems that nobody is graded at Level 1, so that even the Level 2 people think there's still someone beneath them. The fear of being able to fall lower is considered useful, because people who think they have nothing to lose are dangerous.”
― Marc-Uwe Kling, QualityLand

“The hive mind is boring, small and thinks and works on the same wavelength as stupidity. It elects morons for presidents and still defends their mistakes and crimes out of childish fear and self interest and follows false religious beliefs that have been altered. So if you ever wonder why mankind hasn't progressed as far as you believed it once could have? Blame those who can't count to three correctly without thinking about if it's ok with their ilk to be able to do so. And whenever the hive mind's existence is threatened? They always resort to violence because that's the evidence of pure unadulterated stupidity. These are not independent thinkers. These are unconscious slaves of their own making and an unending threat to a better society and a far better world.”
― R.M. Engelhardt, NO KINGS: POEMS BY R.M. ENGELHARDT
