“The key to absolute control is to convince the people to grant you emergency powers to deal with a crisis. To retain the emergency powers, you simply create new crises as and when needed.”
-Otto von Bismarck, 1883.
He was speaking to the Japanese ambassador to Japan at the time, older brother of the father of Emperor Hirohito (1901-89). I’ve often wondered if he told his nephew about that conversation.
Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis. The synthesis becomes the new thesis, which generates an antithesis, the two form a systhesis, which becomes the new thesis, and so on to infinity. Marx claimed he could bring an end to the dialectic by simply exterminating anything or anyone that could form a new antithesis, God help me, i got a stinkin’ PhD in this garbage.

Or the Bismarck Method;

Thus, PATRIOT Act.
Hegelian dialectic: thesis, antithesis, synthesis.
But, as stated above, NO synthesis, by design.
In other words: business as usual.
Luckily, lefties have no problem creating a crisis on short notice.
Lucky for them, that is. For us ? not so much.
Right on Chris! I might add: next, “I`m from the Govt.
and I`m here to help” (things get worse.)
