The regime requires our approval and support.

"I do not ask you to lay hands on the tyrant to topple him over, but withdraw your support and you will behold him - like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away - fall of his own weight and break into pieces"

Etienne de la Boetie

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
