昂山素姬 : 極權主義是一種建立在敬畏、恐怖和暴力基礎上的系統

Aung San Suu Kyi :  Totalitarianism is a kind of in awe, terror and violence on the basis of the system

朗思

August 16 

「極權主義是一種建立在敬畏、恐怖和暴力基礎上的系統。一個長時間生活在這個系統中的人會不知不覺成為這個系統的一部分。恐懼是陰險的，它很容易使一個人將恐懼當作自己生活的一部分，當作存在的一部分，而成為一種習慣。」

—— 昂山素姬

"Totalitarianism is a kind of in awe, terror and violence on the basis of the system. A people living in this system for a long time, he will unwittingly become a part of this system, the fear is insidious, it is easy to make a person fear as part of his life as a part of existence, and to become a habit."

—— Aung San Suu Kyi

政府不希望其國民能獨立思考

Governments don't want a population capable of critical thinking

「政府不希望其國民能獨立思考，只希望他們剛好夠聰明去開動機器，而又剛好笨到去接受現實。」
— 佐治卡林 (美國幽默大師、社評家)

"Governments don't want a population capable of critical thinking. They want obedient workers, people just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation." 
- George Carlin
