“This is the message of the American government: “We are going to lie to you, deny the truth wherever it presents itself and you are going to believe the lies, shout the lies with all your breath or you are going to be punished.”
How can such a system remain? Why should the people accept this dictate of a rabble so thoroughly distanced from reality? Is it just the threat of punishment by the police, the military? I don’t believe that.
There must be some agreement among the people, in their souls, that they are wrong and they should be punished. Whether that is from decades of brainwashing, of TV and movies depicting the average American as backward and flawed, I cannot know, but I don’t have it. I have nothing in my soul that cries out for punishment from my government. I hold every injustice with increasing intemperate hostility, every single one.”
