Military dictatorship is born from the power of the gun, and so it undermines the concept of the rule of law and gives birth to a culture of might, a culture of weapons, violence and intolerance.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Military dictatorship, you can focus on it, you can fight it directly. It's a band of power-driven people.
An intellectual's weapon is writing, but sometimes people react as if it were a firearm. A writer can do a lot to change the situation, but as far as I know, no dictatorship has fallen because of a sonnet.
The United States isn't a dictatorship ruling with a brutal army and an iron fist, so our police departments must understand that they are there to serve and protect us - all of us. And when they do commit crimes, they must be arrested and prosecuted like anyone else, bottom line.
If the government decides to become a tyrannical government, our guns are to protect us against that.
I'm saying, let's learn to reacquire a respect for the power of guns. This culture is so indifferent and disrespectful of guns that we should be terrified.
Dictators must have enemies. They must have internal enemies to justify their secret police and external enemies to justify their military forces.
Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.
Dictatorship and authentic literature are incompatible... The writer is the natural enemy of dictatorship.
People have to be armed to have power, you see.
Guns are the ultimate bulwark against government misbehavior.
