The Emissaries of Good Sense

So abundant and so ancient are the narratives that thoroughly expose the perverse and regular oppression operated by the majority against isolated, helpless individuals, who suffer like martyrs never to be unredeemed by history, that it seems absurd, even today, that majorities are considered to be emissaries of good sense. From this clamorous lie, one would expect men to rid themselves, even if out of necessity or shame. Curiously, the nonsense persists and grows stronger. How to justify it? Explain it, Carlyle! How to reconcile it with your theory of the burial of lies? It seems that, in this world, injustice does nothing but change its mask occasionally.
