"But as Dr. Gottfried pointed out in episode 880, where most tyrannical states in the past didn’t have the support of the people, this one has a sizable portion of the population blindly marching along and championing it."

For what it's worth, Pete, it was this observation that made me abandon my libertarian beliefs. It just so happened that you were there putting out episodes during this time in which you were questioning the same things I was. If it wasn't for you, it might have taken me a bit longer to delve into the dissident sphere. Thank you for that.
