In fact, you are even lower and more ignorant than any slave, since you have just been ruled with no
force applied. You have obeyed not because someone had a gun to your head or a whip to your back,
but because you were fooled by some jackass university writer or talking head on the news, who lied
right to your face and convinced you it was patriotic to act like a slave. There is little shame in being a
slave by force—as with a plantation slave before the Civil War—since your ability to resist is small.
But your shame could not be greater, since you have accepted your little cage with no force applied,
and no attempt to resist. You have agreed to your own enslavement, and you are foolish enough to feel
superior for it. I honestly don't know who is more despicable: those who rule this way, or those who
are ruled this way.
