As long as we are all together we don’t need to be frightened or to think for ourselves, after all we are herd animals. We put our fate and our abilities to judge in the hands of one man, one ideology and that’s where the trouble starts. Millions allow themselves to be unresistingly dragged along in the we-feeling of the multitude: churches, dictatorships, wars and even football clubs flourish on this. There hangs a large red circle above the heads of all those white, yellow, red and black crowds. People who blindly follow their leaders and doctrines, enthusiastically screaming, marching or singing. The red circle is the sign of the demiurge who, addicted to power, manipulates the masses. It doesn’t matter what ideology he is peddling, as long as it clicks. He is the monstrous chameleon who devours his followers.
