TOME 10 PART 135; TYRANNY AND THE DOWNFALL OF NATIONS
DAGARA PROVERB;
As far as I am concerned, there are only two types of Tyrants. The Tyrant who knows he Is a tyrant, believes he is a tyrant, accepts that he is a tyrant and exercises Tyranny…and the fool who genuinely is convinced he is not a Tyrant yet acts like one.
THE IRONY;
1. The first type of Tyrant typically tells his agenda as is, his tyranny is obvious to all and he makes no effort to hide it…ironically he tends to be loved by his people and feared as well.
2. The second type parades his Tyranny under a noble agenda like 'Democracy', then tries to convince himself that his people have bought his agenda knowing full well that his people are not so easily deceived. He genuinely believes that he is loved by his people when in fact they treat him with suspicion behind closed doors.
THE DEMOCRACY OF THE PAST…
The Power of the People.
THE DEMOCRACY OF THE PRESENT…
The Power Of A Few deluding the rest into believing they have power.
THE MAKINGS OF A TYRANT…
Anyone who has ever felt the need to lie to another, to manipulate their perceptions or to bring another under their dominion has the makings of a True Tyrant…both Type A and B.
THE DOWNFALL OF NATIONS…
An unreliable messenger is the downfall of his Nation. There are times when a crisis can only be averted via an honest report or testimony but when a Nation gets too used to spreading Deception…they become unable to perceive an obvious threat precisely because they tend to treat serious matters as a joke.
SOME SIMPLE SIGNS THAT A NATION IS ABOUT TO BE DESTROYED…
1. When its Wise Men are mysteriously given Asylum.
2. When its Teachers refuse to learn.
3. When its Lawyers join the Mafia.
4. When its journalists specialize in the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
5. When its Priests are called Juju Men.
6. When its Soldiers sleep at Night.
7. The Worst…when its Tyrannic Ruler parades his insidious agenda under a noble guise like 'Democracy'.
CONCLUSION
Do not be stupid enough to ban four Lighthouses in Four Separate Directions lest the Shadow Lord looks upon that omen and concludes that his time has come to invade the Dark Nation.
