This quote pretty much exemplifies what people within most of society now subscribe to. So many people don’t give a crap anymore. They stand down, glued to a cell phone, lost within an existence. Emptying their soul with irrelevant things, fearing substance and truth.
Most people don’t live with purpose anymore, they reject anything which requires effort, character and virtue. They stand for nothing but cliches, lies and the massaging of their own ego.
God help those who have been bullied into submission, afraid to act, whose very speech and thoughts have been stifled and lost forever within a black hole. A dystopian society which now exists only to promote a cult-like behavior of group “thought.”

Samuel Francis first coined the term “anarcho-tyranny” in a 1994 essay titledAnarcho-Tyranny, U.S.A., summarized as: “A concept where the state is more interested in controlling citizens so that they don’t oppose managerial class, rather than tending to real criminals. Laws are argued to be enforced selectively depending on what is beneficial to the ruling elite.” It essentially describes a situation in which the government has the necessary tools and capabilities to wield oppressive power over its subjects, and does so to further its own interests. On the other hand, the government actors themselves — and, importantly, their footsoldiers (like Antifa and BLM in the modern American context) — act with impunity, immune from legal consequences.
"There is no greater tyranny than that which is perpetrated under the shield of law and in the name of justice." -Montesquieu-
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive." -C.S. Lewis-
“The Communists’ chief purpose is to destroy every form of independence—independent work, independent action, independent property, independent thought, an independent mind, or an independent man. Conformity, alikeness, servility, submission and obedience are necessary to establish a Communist slave-state.” -Ayn Rand-
“There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution” -Aldous Huxley-
Basically a paraphrased quote from Thomas Jefferson:
"If people let the government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny."
