“When Fascism came into power, most people were unprepared, both theoretically and practically. They were unable to believe that man could exhibit such propensities for evil, such lust for power, such disregard for the rights of the weak, or such yearning for submission. Only a few had been aware of the rumbling of the volcano preceding the outbreak.”
That boils it down quite good to why it improved every aspect
aspect. But I like to add it made me able to feel my emotions in the first place in some instances which then enabled me to control them and made me stop unconsciously acting them out unappropriately.
I honestly believe the administration is doing everything to get an officer killed so they pull use it to declare some kind of emergency and finally abolish democracy for good.
