"Words had to change their ordinary meaning and to take that which was now given them. Reckless audacity came to be considered the courage of a loyal ally; prudent hesitation, specious cowardice; moderation was held to be a cloak for unmanliness; ability to see all sides of a question, inaptness to act on any. Frantic violence became the attribute of manliness" -Thucydides
It’s like the economy was a crowd of people, and they sprayed it with upteen rounds from AK-47s. Now they’re walking around with a .45, looking for any still twitching bodies, so they can finish them off with a bullet to the back of the brain.
