“Freedom is a system based on courage. We must always tell what we see. Above all, and this is more difficult, we must always see what we see. He who does not bellow the truth when he knows the truth makes himself the accomplice of liars and frauds.”
Charles Péguy
Alas most will know the truth but will believe the lies. A constant stream of lies broadcast by the MSM,lies told to us by our leaders and an ignorant populace makes for ship that is sinking fast . We have become the ” Kingdom Of Thingdom” where the constant need for more stuff outweighs worrying about the future .
Here’s another quote by Peguy:
“”It will never be known what acts of cowardice have been committed for fear of not looking sufficiently progressive.” (Notre Patrie, 1905).”
He was a committed, lifelong socialist, but he seems to have gotten some things right. I had to do a search for him, since the name wasn’t familiar to me.
