      Sadly, it is the cowards who invent nightmares and conjure them into reality, and who also have little hesitation toward cruelty and violence when they lash out at those they project their inner demons onto.

      Thus, all that is necesarry for the triumph of evil is for the good to do nothing.

      History clearly shows that no rights simply exist; no status quo can simply be assumed, no priveleges or standards cannot be corroded… they must always be actively fought for, deliberated over, studied in detail.

      Apathy, complancency, incuriousness… that is the first step toward regress, toward barbarism.

      The better future is a concept that must continuously be actively struggled for… it is not a definable state of permanent victory, no, it is a constant fury against injustice that must be wielded with control and discipline… but never extinguished.

        You say that in response to a comment from a person considering themselves courageous and asking to the death of most people on the world…
