The idiot willingness to choose sides is what feeds the abattoir of history.

About This Quote

It is a common trait of the human mind to choose sides and side with one group of people. For example, most people believe that those who are on the side of drugs or those who stand up for the underdog are people who would do good things for their country. In reality, those who stand up for the underdog are usually those who have been victimized by those they claim to support.
