Conservative logic: "Denounce the pacifists"

Hermann Göring (1893-1945), Nazi Reichsmarschall Right-wing politics
Göring had his finger on the trigger

"Why of course the people don't want war... But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship... Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."

Hermann Göring (1893-1945, in English Hermann Goering), Nazi Reichsmarschall
