«La subordinación ideológico-cultural es la más sutil y, en caso de llegar a triunfar por sí sola, es la más exitosa de las estrategias que las estructuras hegemónicas del poder o las grandes potencias pueden llevar a cabo para la preservación y expansión de su poder. A través de la subordinación ideológico-cultural las grandes potencias no pretenden la conquista de un territorio o el control de la vida económica, sino el control de las “mentes de los hombres” como herramienta para la modificación de las relaciones de poder.» – Marcelo Gullo

No, people are easily herded, like lemmings or sheep. Hermann Gering had a certain practical experience in the matter. "Why, of course, the people don't want war," Goering shrugged. "Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship." "There is one difference," I pointed out. "In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars." "Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. 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 way in any country."
