I know that putting time and energy into what one can control or directly influence is vital for a productive and happy life.
But, too many mindless or fearful or simply complacent sheep were essential for Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Mao, Putin or any other authoritarian piece of shit scumbag to ever become anything more than a local thug. It can (and will) happen here without enough non-sheep willing to do whatever it takes. . .
