Thanks Tom for your tireless work. About a month ago around a hundred environmentalists were arrested and detained overnight by police in the UK for the sin of thinking about having a peaceful protest at a power station near Nottingham. At around the same time about a dozen Pakistani students were arrested in the North East of England and detained (some for more than a week), for the sin of taking photographs of a public shopping mall. Pre-crime is no longer the stuff of science fiction writers. Scary stuff.

Even those planning violence are afraid. This is why the weak want to display their weakness, in order to avoid causing fear and thus violence upon them. The more powerful the people become, the greater the terror used against them by the elite, until either the elite are broken or a threatening level of resistance is broken. A revolutionary has two main enemies - a populace which desires to be weak so as to not inspire elite violence and the elite themselves. It's that cowering populace that is the more seductive of the two, as they can appear to be on the revolutionary's side and the revolutionary has much compassion for them and much empathy as he too has fear in his heart. The longer the war goes on between the revolutionaries and the elite, the worse it will be for everyone. The best road is one which leads to the quick death of the elite.

A revolutionary has two main enemies – a populace which desires to be weak so as to not inspire elite violence and the elite themselves. It’s that cowering populace that is the more seductive of the two, as they can appear to be on the revolutionary’s side and the revolutionary has much compassion for them and much empathy as he too has fear in his heart.

"V" Sounds as if "our" government is already afraid of us--and planning to take action to reduce that fear! “People should not be afraid of their government, governments should be afraid of their people!” “V” Sounds as if “our” government is already afraid of us–and planning to take action to reduce that fear!
