It has been argued that the smaller the government the better, and conversely,
the larger the worse.
The few who most benefit from larger are adamant about its necessity. And
will go to war -- police, civil, global -- to protect the top of the pyramid.
And will empower spies, police, military, justice, to do what is necessary
to protect the privileged few inside and outside government.
And conspire with other pyramid tops to assure their perpetuation.
And will enforce pyramid top policies upon smaller by whatever means
are necessary: military, propaganda, education, bribery, coercion,
insurrection, revolution.
And will legislate laws to justify perpetuation and criminalize opposition,
and condone whatever means are necessary.
And will squander societal, economic and physical resources in the
name of "national security," a euphemism for larger government's
pyramid topism.
And will propound the notion that enlightened, benevolent leadership
is essential for peace, security and civilization, while demonstrating
as necessary the murderous mass brutality to suppress opposition
at home and abroad, in consort with other like-minded, heavily
armed pyramid tops.
Statements like this assure placement in a dossier of opposition.
So it must be said, this is only a means to seduce others to hang
themselves.
