“We know the major conditions wherein this large populace may turn upon its keepers - One: When they find a leader. This is the most volatile threat to the powerful; they must retain control of leaders.Two: When the populace recognises its chains. Keep the populace blind and unquestioning.Three: When the populace perceives a hope of escape from bondage. They must never even believe that escape is possible!”

“As with any violent ideology, the populace must be shielded from direct exposure to the victims of the system, lest they begin questioning the system or their participation in it. This truth speaks for itself: why else would the meat industry go to such lengths to keep its practices invisible?”

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.”

“Peoples, populations, native populaces, tribes and religious communities are not nations, even though they are often spoken of as such.”

“But it's not so much a headache as possession, my head an occupied territory, and my normal self, a disenfranchised native populace, driven underground.”

“The sterner self of the Populace likes bawling, hustling, and smashing; the lighter self, beer.”
