Summary
Complying. A society paralyzed by its own excesses can only deceive itself for so long before breaking apart. We accuse foreign powers of abusing their populations and that they’re run by authoritarian regimes. But we can’t claim to be a healthy people when we’re distrustful of our own government. It’s a sad weakness if we require lots of law enforcement agencies to keep order. That’s a sign of a discontented people. We think we can only find contentment by using all forms and methods for making people comply. We’ve never accepted that something is wrong with the way we’re living.
