Old behaviour... Plato's hatred of democracy led him, according to Popper, "to the defense of lies, political miracles, tabooistic superstition, the suppression of truth, and ultimately brutal violence." Popper believes that Plato's historicizing ideas were driven by the fear of change that liberal democracies bring with them.

Nothing changes in 2000 years 😞
