A quotation from Bertrand Russell
Those who believe that the voice of the people is the voice of God may infer that any unusual opinion or peculiar taste is almost a form of impiety, and is to be viewed as a culpable rebellion against the legitimate authority of the herd. This will only be avoided if liberty is as much valued as democracy, and it is realized that a society in which each is the slave of all is only a little better than one in which each is the slave of a despot. There is equality where all are slaves, as well as where all are free. This shows that equality, by itself, is not enough to make a good society.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher

The majority of the stupid is invincible and guaranteed for all time. The terror of their tyranny, however, is alleviated by their lack of consistency.

PM #MarkCarney of #Canada Monday gained a majority in the #HouseOfCommons after special parliamentary #elections, solidifying the #Liberal Party’s hold on #power.
Since late last year, 5 members of opposition parties have joined the Liberals, one as recently as last week, bringing #Carney within a single vote of the 172 needed for a #majority. CBC News projected Monday night that Liberal candidates won 2 of the 3 elections, giving Carney a majority.

"If there were not a single #Muslim in #Britain, the left would still oppose Israel’s actions just as forcefully. And what #Blair will not confront is that this position reflects mainstream #public #opinion. A recent #poll found as low as 12% of #Britons support Israel’s actions in #Gaza, while an overwhelming #majority supports an #arms #embargo on #Israel, #sanctions & the #arrest of its #leader, Benjamin #Netanyahu, for #warcrimes."

I wrote somewhere once that the third-rate mind was only happy when it was thinking with the majority, the second-rate mind was only happy when it was thinking with the minority, and the first-rate mind was only happy when it was thinking. With equal truth it may be said that a first-rate mind is not one which does not remember the past, nor is it one which cannot forget the past; it is a mind which will use the past but not be ordered by it. It is a mind independent of everybody and everything but the facts in front of it. It is as little perturbed to find itself sharing a thought with the simple as it is elated to find itself sharing a thought with the subtle.
A. A. Milne (1882-1956) English poet and playwright [Alan Alexander Milne]

A quotation from Ambrose Bierce
BALLOT, n. A simple device by which a majority proves to a minority the folly of resistance. Many worthy persons of imperfect thinking apparatus believe that majorities govern through some inherent right; and minorities submit, not because they must, but because they ought.
Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?) American writer and journalist
“Ballot,” “Devil’s Dictionary” column, San Francisco Wasp (1881-04-23)More about this quote: wist.info/bierce-ambrose/82483…

Most people are not even aware of their need to conform. They live under the illusion that they follow their own ideas and inclinations, that they are individualists, that they have arrived at their opinions as the result of their own thinking — and that it just happens that their ideas are the same as those of the majority. The consensus of all serves as a proof for the correctness of “their” ideas.
Erich Fromm (1900-1980) American psychoanalyst and social philosopher
