A state of war only serves as an excuse for domestic tyranny

Summary

This quote suggests that when a country is at war, it provides an opportunity for domestic oppression and control over its citizens. It implies that the state of war allows governments or rulers to justify imposing stricter measures and limits on individual freedoms. By using the threat of external conflict, those in power can exercise greater authority and potentially suppress dissent in the name of national security. Consequently, this quote underscores the potential for manipulation and abuse of power during times of war.
