Power exists only so long as we consent
Power is the structure of the thoughts we think we control, a framework for the ideologies we think we voted for, the values we think we choose to treasure, the horizon of imaginations we think we created. Power exists only so long as we consent to it through our blind obedience. But in truth, it is the weakest of opponents — it can be overcome simply by raising our heads and opening our eyes. —Jonathan Cook, How we stay blind to the story of power
