A Human Strategy, Matt Berry, #45

45
To achieve peace for all, the disadvantaged must be given a false “advantage” that they can call their own (serving as a human weapon as a “patriot” ... or remaining with one’s own cultural inheritance as “one of the faithful”).  We hold up every label which secures the tractability of the individual, such as “good citizenship” or “virtuous.”  The contentment of the masses depends upon this trade of a disadvantage for an illusory status, as does the illusory contentment of the “powerful elite.”
