“We defer to authority because they are supposed to know more than we do. Ultimately, we are responsible for choosing the authority figure. Choosing to defer to one who urges aggression still puts the responsibility on us.”
Mary J. Ruwart
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Das rite. Which is why through voting, we are all complicit.
The answer? Don’t Vote. (It only encourages the bastards).
Yeah, just let someone else make the decisions for you so you can pretend you aren’t responsible for anything.
Shallow thinking….reminds me of the idiot Never Trumpers…
10 And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king. 11 And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots. 12 And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots. 13 And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers. 14 And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants. 15 And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants. 16 And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work. 17 He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants. 18 And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.
“We defer to authority because they are supposed to know more than we do. ”
False. When I defer to authority, it’s invariably because the risks of not deferring to the idiots in authority (fines, jail, violence) are too great…Only women think the authoritarians know more than ordinary people, because women are extreme conformists.
