Welcome to the club.
MINISTRY OF TRUTH.
The best way to ‘strengthen resilience’ is to:
Educate people. Ensure they know how to find information on any topic, consider it rationally, and communicate there thoughts.
Don’t censor anything. Knowledgeable people w/ access to all the information can find the truth and discard the lie.
Restricting communications, information, thought, only creates suspicion.
“Good intentions will always be pleaded for any assumption of power. The Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.”
— Daniel Webster
“Public servants say, always with the best of intentions, “What greater service we could render if only we had a little more money and a little more power.” But the truth is that outside of its legitimate function, government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector.”
—Ronald Reagan, 1964
“One of the great mistakes is to judge policies and programs by their intentions rather than their results.”
— Milton Friedman
Exactly.
Exactly.
I, for one, welcome our new Swedish Ministry of Truth.
