"The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And even if he is not romantic personally he is apt to spread discontent among those who are." -H.L. Mencken
This attack wasn't so obvious like Pearl Harbor or 9/11. It was a much more subtle, modern attack fueled by social media laced with disinformation.
The attack lasted four years and nearly destroyed the world's leading democracy.
Though democracy prevailed - it is not without scars.
