"It’s crazy, man. I wake up every day thinking it’s a nightmare that has to end. It’s an incredibly bizarre time. I’m very perplexed. I’ve always felt like there’s been a disconnect between the voters and the people who run the country, but lately the gulf is getting so extreme, it’s like they have complete contempt for ordinary people. What we’re witnessing is explicitly true class warfare from the top down. This war is absolutely insane. So are all the weird civil rights cutbacks that have been going on. You look at our government and all the way down, on every single level, something’s wrong. But hopefully something good will come out of it; maybe, it’ll re-energize people so they’ll get involved and active in political protest."

An LAWeekly article had this to point out:
"...Hermann Goering was more specific: 'Why, of course, the people don't want war,' he told G.M. Gilbert at the Nuremberg war-crimes tribunal. 'Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders . . . All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.'"
