Silencing the majority is an absolutely essential goal of all communist and fascist revolutionaries. Therefore those people who allow themselves to be silenced by the tactics of intimidation are playing right into the hands of their enemies. “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.” ― Dietrich Bonhoeffer

We’re headed that way if we allow ourselves to be intimidated and silenced.
The Armenians and the Jews liked their vehicles too.
