The people are cattle. The tyrants have nothing to fear.

I know, I know. There's going to be some future oppression they'll try that'll finally be too much, and the people will rise up and overthrow them. As if we haven't had countless examples of outrageous bullshit already. Nope, the 'revolution' is always just down the road, when they try something "really" bad. The more the tyrants are seen for who and what they are, the more power they gain over their stock.
