The ultimate tyranny in a society is not control by martial law.
It is control by the psychological manipulation of consciousness,
through which reality is defined so that those who exist within it
do not even realize that they are in prison.
They do not even realize that there is something outside of where they exist.
“Nowhere in the world will such a brotherly feeling of confidence be experienced as amongst those who sit together smoking their pipes.” - The Results and Merits of Tobacco, 1844, Doctor Barnstein -
