Politics / Politique
Popular
Science often treated subjects now loosely classified as
sociology.
Reacting to "the devastation of political warfare", we
delved into political science.
Why, we asked, are persons of fine character and noble aims
disinclined to enter politics.
Because politics is closer to a no-holds-barred civil war over
"the spoils of victory"
than a science to be studied. It's a little better than
"lawless ruffianism", we concluded.
Most
successful fascist regimes were so, because they fine tuned the
use of fear
and terror. These regimes would have had no power, no power at
all, had their
citizenry spoken out and reacted all at once.
La
plupart des régimes fascistes qui ont duré, l'on fait parce
qu'ils sont devenus
experts dans l'usage de la peur et de la terreur. Si leurs
citoyens avaient réagi et
parlé tous en même temps, leur pouvoir aurait été dissout.
In
politics and life in general, most people lose their reputation
because of
innuendos and other malicious gossiping; the kind that one is
never aware of,
because it is taking place behind their backs. One cannot defend
oneself,
if one does not know who is doing the gossiping and backstabbing.
In order to
effectively defend oneself, one has to know who is making the
accusations and
the nature of these accusations.
If every
one were to talk about what they hear and see, with the intended
victim;
this kind of character assassination would lose its power. People
would learn to
know the person they are in relation with, either at work or at
play.
En
politique et dans la vie en général, les gens perdent leur
réputation à cause
d'insinuations malveillantes et autres commérages; la sorte
qu'il est difficile
de reconnaître, parce que cela prend place derrière leur dos.
Il est impossible
de se défendre contre ce genre de choses parce qu'on ne sait
jamais qui nous
plante le couteau dans le dos, avec leur insinuations assassines.
Si tout
le monde parlait de ce qu'il voit et entend avec la personne
concernée;
ce genre de choses perdrait le pouvoir qu'ils ont de détruire la
réputation de
quelqu'un. Les gens devraient plutôt apprendre à connaître la
personne avec
laquelle ils sont en relation, soit au travail ou au jeu.
Many
people have theorized about the reasons men can be made to
slaughter
other men, on a large scale. The following link points to a few
people who tried.
