Better the clear, heavy cut of the military boot than the fuzzy, wavering lines of pluralistic democracy
Better to be surveiled than to surveil those who will tread upon you
Better to sit quietly by than to aid thy neighbor
Better to brutalize the alien in your midst because fair treatment only invites his return
Better to accept the testimony of your corporate media outlet than to go see for yourself
Better to justify the use of force than to seek to restrain it
Better to justify the shots fired than to ask why the doctor on site was the one restrained
Better to pepper spray clergymen than to allow them to recite scripture
Better to clear the streets for the streets are for those who will use them dutifully
Better the tear gas cannister better the baton better the police line for these have always been the fulcrums of peace
Better to smash windows better to bust doors better to drag citizens through the streets for we truly love the sight when it is not one of our own
Better to instill fear for fear is the bedfellow of well-behavedness
Spare the rod, spoil the populace honor thy father and thy big brother to the violent, we say, we will be more violent to the passive, stand by and you will be tolerated for now
Better to trust the words of the Strongman than to consult those of the historian
Better to see in black and white for the world in our eyes is easy to divide
Better to let our lawmen break laws we have set for them
