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.

--Theodore Dalrymple

--Ferdinand Magellan

Litany Against Fear

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
--Frank Herbert
