And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I was a consulting research statistician at a major western university. The scientists knew that if they didn't find "compelling evidence" of the latest eco-crisis, they'd never get funding again. They HAD to find "results" even if the data didn't back it up. They felt their careers were on the line.
