I am beginning to understand how extremism of authority begins. Not from the roots of acceptance and tolerance, but in reaction to the criminally insane amounts of excess and corruption by the current authority. The idea of Spanish Inquisition makes sense. It isn't that others are different, it's that their difference leads to such destruction and denial of your culture, you must go to the extreme to preserve it.
reaction to the criminally insane amounts of excess and corruption by the current authority
It's not that the elites are harassing innocent people, allowing criminals to roam free, stealing from the treasury, and fucking children. It's that they're laughing at you while they do it. While their sycophants tell you to sit down and shut up, and the media tells you that everything is perfectly normal. It's not enough to topple the tyrants. All the people around us who support oppression must have their crimes visited back upon them 100-fold. The pendulum swings and the cycle continues.
