“As always, everything comes down to brute force. Everything.”

There are no rights, only privileges, that can be taken away at any time, for any reason.
There is no rule of law. The laws mean what they want them to mean, and they enforce them when they feel like it, and ignore them when they don’t.
There is no consent of the governed. There is only one ruling party, a political elite. The illusion of political choice is a circus to keep us entertained and an delusion to keep us deceived.
Power belongs to he who claims it and can defend his claim.
