"The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion, but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact, non-Westerners never do.”" ~~~~Samuel P. Huntington

1984...Twenty Five Years On: The Surveillance State - You Are Being Conditioned On A Mass Scale To Accept It

"Nearly all children nowadays were horrible. What was worst of all was that by means of such organizations as the Spies they were systematically turned into ungovernable little savages, and yet this produced in them no tendency whatever to rebel against the discipline of the Party. On the contrary, they adored the Party and everything connected with it... All their ferocity was turned outwards, against the enemies of the State, against foreigners, traitors, saboteurs, thought-criminals.

It was almost normal for people over thirty to be frightened of (Cf. minute 7:45 in the video for more on this...) their own children." ~~George Orwell, 1984

Feeling powerless kids?
Some things that have historically been effective in alleviating that feeling:
"Sabotage in armament plants and war industries, sabotage at all gatherings, rallies, public ceremonies, and organisations of the National Socialist Party.

Obstruction of the smooth functioning of the war machine ...

Sabotage in all the areas of science and scholarship which further the continuation of the war - whether in universities, technical schools, laboratories, research institutes, or technical bureaus..." ~~The third leaflet of the German anti-Nazi group the White Rose
Or: "Are you so shut down you can't feel no more?" (Tom Petty, When A Kid Goes Bad)
