“Should any political party attempt to abolish social security unemployment insurance and eliminate labor laws and farm programs you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group of course that believes you can do these things. Among them are a few other Texas oil millionaires and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid.”

quote
“It is a feeling of relief, almost of pleasure, at knowing yourself at last genuinely down and out. You have talked so often of going to the dogs — and well, here are the dogs, and you have reached them, and you can stand it. It takes off a lot of anxiety.”
George Orwell |

“Nationalism is the belief that your nation is superior to all other nations, which means all other nations are inferior to your nation. You then believe everyone else is subhuman; they’re not as good as you. If you are a mediocre person with mediocre IQ, mediocre life, believing you’re from the master race, you can look down on everybody else. It gives people, who have a meaningless life, a false sense of meaning and a false sense of value. Nationalism has been around for 230 years, making the world a really crappy place. There is no nation that is better than the next, and people who believe that are just stupid and haven’t traveled enough.”
