Power Is The Enemy Of Fairness

Inequality in a society
is proportional to its freedom
is proportional to the power of its inhabitants
is proportional to the will of the majority

The free will crush the weak
to retain their freedom
to retain their power
because to surrender power
to surrender freedom, hurts,
to surrender freedom makes the free weak
and the weak is that which the free
and the powerful
crush.

Power is the enemy of fairness,
and power is the freedom to think, and express, and act.
