True words from an evil person
Though I firmly and vehemently distance myself from anything related with Nazism, this quote holds a surreal truth that we're seeing today:
"Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and accuse the pacifists of lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. This method works in every country."
-Hermann Göring, Nazi Commander, April 18, 1946 (Nuremberg Diary, by Gustave Gilbert)
