“The masses have never thirsted after truth. They turn aside from evidence that is not to their taste, preferring to deify error, if error seduce them. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim.”

I think there may be more accuracy there than not. The masses current genuflecting in fealty to the occupying statist theocracy infesting this land accepts the illusion that might makes right. The illusion that mask wearing is biological science (that will stop the transfer of viruses — enslaving error has seduced them) when in reality, it is only political science.
