A person with true power doesn't need to attack. A person without power attacks constantly.

People turned against each other cannot turn against those responsible.

The more we're thrown into conflict with each other through engineered distrust, the less able we are to unite against those responsible.

We must acknowledge and take responsibility for the conflicts we have helped to create, and act to create real change. That, after all, is the true hallmark of democracy--a commitment to justice, honest self-appraisal, and action--even when it means challenging ourselves and the political institutions we hold most dear.
