H.M. Murdock on Nostr: The smartest people must seem quite stupid in order to sell the even stupider public ...
The smartest people must seem quite stupid in order to sell the even stupider public on policies that are patently ridiculous, provided the goals of the rulers are what they claim to be.
If the actual goal of the rulers is not safety, security, and stability as they claim but is actually consolidation of power, crushing individual rights, and preventing outsiders from breaking in to the ruling class their actions now seem quite intelligent.
They hide their true means and goals behind a false mask of incompetence.
