OF THE
TIMES
“I know your race. It is made up of sheep. It is governed by minorities, seldom or never by majorities. It suppresses its feelings and its beliefs and follows the handful that makes the most noise. Sometimes the noisy handful is right, sometimes wrong; but no matter, the crowd follows it. The vast majority of the race, whether savage or civilized, are secretly kind-hearted and shrink from inflicting pain, but in the presence of the aggressive and pitiless minority they don't dare to assert themselves. Think of it! One kind-hearted creature spies upon another, and sees to it that he loyally helps in iniquities which revolt both of them. Speaking as an expert, I know that ninety- nine out of a hundred of your race were strongly against the killing of witches when that foolishness was first agitated by a handful of pious lunatics in the long ago. And I know that even to-day, after ages of transmitted prejudice and silly teaching, only one person in twenty puts any real heart into the harrying of a witch. And yet apparently everybody hates witches and wants them killed. Some day a handful will rise up on the other side and make the most noise--perhaps even a single daring man with a big voice and a determined front will do it--and in a week all the sheep will wheel and follow him, and witch-hunting will come to a sudden end.Despite modern society's contentions and self-delusions to the contrary, we are still flawed humans with those same 'sheep like' tendencies.
Monarchies, aristocracies, and religions are all based upon that large defect in your race--the individual's distrust of his neighbor, and his desire, for safety's or comfort's sake, to stand well in his neighbor's eye. These institutions will always remain, and always flourish, and always oppress you, affront you, and degrade you, because you will always be and remain slaves of minorities. There was never a country where the majority of the people were in their secret hearts loyal to any of these institutions.”
Rowan Cocoan if YOU get falsely accused of ordering one of theseExcellent point that I hadn't considered. You're right that such things can be used as a trap, like planting child pornography or drugs on people, which cops and the FBI do as a matter of routine.
So, let the pillories begin. Please try to avoid the ad hominems, begging the question, avoiding the real issues, etc .ONLY AT SOTT could one expect a logical reasoned discussion to have followed my post, WITHOUT ANY of those.
Comment: It says a lot about the other parties, and Western society in general, that they needed some persuading that these dolls should be banned.
