Quote by Germaine Greer

It is in our interests to let the police and their employers go on believing that the Underground is a conspiracy, because it increases their paranoia and their inability to deal with what is really happening. As long as they look for ringleaders and documents they will miss their mark, which is that proportion of every personality which belongs in the Underground.

Summary

This quote suggests that it is beneficial to allow the police and authorities to believe that the Underground is a conspiracy. By doing so, it increases their fear and inability to address the true essence of the Underground movement. As long as they focus on finding leaders and evidence, they fail to recognize the overlapping characteristics present in each individual, contributing to the Underground. Essentially, by diverting their attention away from understanding the collective ideology, the Underground can continue its activities more effectively.
