Examples

All you have to do is anesthetize the masses by telling them they're an elite, that they've got a mission, that they're making history, that they're fulfilling their destiny and fighting for a better world - and they swallow it like lambs - even when a guttersnipe says it. Hans Hellmut Kirst
