GO AWAY! I can't take anymore of this Boom! Boom! Boom! We're ALL gonna DIE!
“Do as I say or you are going to die” is a very persuasive argument. Generally made, emphatically, by robbers, the imperative has been taken up by politicians. Off the lips of the former, it’s an instrument of force; off the lips of the latter, of fraud. When highwaymen say words to this effect, they convey, particularly when backed by a killing instrument, the ne’er-do-well’s control of events. When politicians command you to adopt their policies or perish, it demonstrates the opposite: a lack of control, desperation even."
