The middle-class is the mainstay of most human modern societies… it does not mind being ruled by whoever — democratic lunacy, despots, psychopathic decrees, tyrants, dictators and authoritarians — as long as the honest people of the honest middle-class can make a honest buck from a honest day of honest hard work. If the illusion of honesty unravels then the whole edifice of social cohesion, even peppered with amusing diversity, will collapse… Peace at home is often achieved by the rest of the world being on fire, but this is the honest privilege of ignorance of where moneys come from.
