The Impact of Science on Society, Bertrand Russell, 1953
Pages 50 - 51
Fichte laid it down that education should aim at destroying free will, so that, after pupils have left school, they shall be incapable, throughout the rest of their lives, of thinking or acting otherwise than as their schoolmasters would have wished. But in his day this was an unattainable ideal: … In future such failures are not likely to occur where there is dictatorship. Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible. Even if all are miserable, all will believe themselves happy, because the government will tell them that they are so.
@ Panzerfaust, I mentioned to my spouse that one of the admins posted the identical video directly after mine then commented on mine and let his stand. I was just saying how i thought that was kinda assoholic and the next thing i knew the wife was telling me she didn't like me posting on a jew bashing site and was worried that in these times the next step was that the Bolsheviks would be coming to collect me. I dismissed this as ridiculous and the next thing I knew I was being selfish and didn't care about her!. I said to her "fine I'll quit the site then" Anyway Zap did not remove me as an admin and the crisis passed :) Does that satisfy your inquiry ? BTW there was no rage at all ;) Just interfacing with my wife the best way I know how to keep the peace cause her mug is the only constant in my world these days! No family gatherings this weekend with my extended family. I bet it's the same with most of you too?

@ Steve, Bertrand Russell was a real piece of work/psychopath for sure. Another grave on the list to piss on.
