Time for the quarterly reminder of the C.S. Lewis quote about tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of the citizen.

Also from a more modern work (ironically from a franchise currently in its woke death throes):

"Is not this simpler? Is this not your natural state? It’s the unspoken truth of humanity that you crave subjugation. The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life’s joy in a mad scramble for power. For identity. You were made to be ruled. In the end, you will always kneel."
