Quotes of People in Your Nation Mk. VI

"The last thing I need is a doomsayer decrying 'Hail the Sino-Russian New World Order!' as if he were f***ing Laocoön.

That said, I'd rather the Western world order remain in place."
-MP Edmund Parmos

"I love the poor, they cry, as they conspire against you. I cannot stand socialism and its evils, they say, as they plan to re-enslave you. They detest us, the old guard, because in the distant year of eighteen hundred thirty eight we reminded them of something, we outnumber them. So they go out of their way, to slander and defame us, or in the Berieans case murder us in the streets with gleeful smiles because we give meaning to the voices of the masses, we give the people a font to engage the state, to bring down injustice, to see change brought about. That terrifies the old guard, and their old regime, we represent change, real, meaningful change, and thus, they screech it from the tops of the tallest mountains to the lowest valleys, so that you will fear us, find us repulsive and push us away, back into the chains they keep oiled and waiting. They say they hate socialism and socialists, what they mean in their hearts; they hate you, they call you poor, they call you the wretched masses, they call you peasants. They saw fit to keep you covered in soot and filth for a century and more, and when we disagreed in your name they killed us. Do not trust those who say they hate socialism, they mean that they hate you, the "poor" the "wretched masses", the stupid peasants and filthy proles of the world. Fear them, as they desire you to fear us, they fervently dream to be your masters." - Senator Genoveva Eloísa Oquendo
