门肯论政治

“实用政治的全部目的,就是通过用一连串无穷无尽、全属虚构的妖魔鬼怪来恫吓民众(从而使他们大声疾呼要求被引领至安全之地),让他们保持警觉状态。”

——H·L·门肯


Mencken on Politics

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”

–H. L. Mencken
