“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” -C.S. Lewis
- adamsea 6y ago> It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. So you’re saying that C.S. Lewis would have voted for Trump? ;)
- bra-ket 6y agoabsolutely, any rational person who cares about reason and objectivity would have voted for Trump. It wouldn't help with the stolen elections though, sometimes the dishonest win. And even the most reasonable people can be misled by lies and propaganda.
- ModernMech 6y ago"The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated" This is clearly wrong. Greedy people are never satisfied. Look at our modern day robber barons, a mere handful with more money than hundreds of millions of people. Yet their wealth continues to grow.
