Politics as Civil War, March 1899

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.

Popular Science

 

Fascism/Fascism

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.

Apply just enough fear to shut people up;
but not too much so as to cause a revolt.


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.

Appliquez assez de peur pour faire taire les gens;
mais pas trop, pour ne pas provoquer une révolte.

Personalities/Personalités

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.
