It's unfortunate how both political extremes are just the same:

The right uses the state to censure.

The left uses people and popularity to censure.

To fight the dictators I can simply join a militia and fight a civil war.

But how to I fight people? I'm not popular, I'm not cool, I'm not socially connected. I am no one. How do I maintain my rights when those depriving me of them are everyone else?

If I'm targeted by the populist mass, where is my recourse?

I'm lucky that I live in a country where I could just study and pass a test to be a public servant, where I'm guaranteed a job and won't be fired based on public outrage. But what about others?
