This is not the face of a tyrant — a Hitler, a Napoleon, or a Stalin. Do not flatter it. This is the face you see when the Hitler or Stalin has already defeated you. This could never hold any power, influence or authority unless you — its victim — hadn’t already defaulted on your own responsibility to preserve your freedom, your dignity and virtue.

This isn’t the scene of totalitarianism, of which you’re a victim. This is the scene of a tragic accident. If you actually support this travesty, then you are the cause of the disaster. This is the face of the ridiculous puppet of an occupier — mocking your error, and your weakness.
