Quote of the Day - Collapse of Civilization edition

Made that our new header quote.
This is lovely. Thank you for finding it.
That's on point...
A dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot. -- Robert A. Heinlein
And just look what happened right after that.
Tolerance, good temper and sympathy don't win wars.
Destroying your enemies wins wars.
Tolerance, good temper and empathy are reserved for your family, friends and allies.
