People are tired of liberty. They have had a surfeit of it. Liberty is no longer a chaste and austere virgin….Today’s youth are moved by other slogans…..Order, Hierarchy, Discipline.

Aristotle -
It is a habit of tyrants never to like anyone who has a spirit of dignity and independence. The tyrant claims a monopoly of such qualities for himself; he feels that anybody who asserts a rival dignity, or acts with independence, is threatening his own superiority and the despotic power of his tyranny. He hates him accordingly as a subverter of his own authority.
It is also a habit of tyrants to prefer the company of aliens to that of citizens at table and in society; citizens, they feel, are enemies, but aliens will offer no opposition.
