Quotes by Barbara F. Walter  (?)

“People may tolerate years of poverty, unemployment, and discrimination. They may accept shoddy schools, poor hospitals, and neglected infrastructure. But there is one thing they will not tolerate: losing status in a place they believe is theirs. In the twenty-first century, the most dangerous factions are once-dominant groups facing decline.”
Barbara F. Walter, How Civil Wars Start: And How to Stop Them

“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”
Barbara F. Walter, How Civil Wars Start: And How to Stop Them

“anocracy.” Citizens receive some elements of democratic rule—perhaps full voting rights—but they also live under leaders with extensive authoritarian powers and few checks and balances.”
