This quotation was sent to me by a YouTube subscriber without a source. "The order follower always bears more moral culpability than the order giver, because the order follower is the one who actually performed the action, and in taking such action actually brought the resultant harm into physical manifestation. Order following is the pathway to every form of evil and chaos in our world. It should never be seen as a "virtue" by anyone who considers themselves a moral human being. Order followers have ultimately been personally responsible and morally culpable for every form of slavery and every single totalitarian regime that have ever existed upon the face of the Earth." Here's one more quote for today's video: "Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities." ~Voltaire
