Progressive Propaganda

“The purpose of progressive propaganda is not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponds to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity.”
--Theodore Dalrymple

To Not Venture

--Soren Kierkegaard
