Beyond hypocrisy

"Beyond hypocrisy
By Mark LeVine

Almost two millennia ago, the great Chinese military leader and strategist Zhuge Liang admonished his fellow military men that 'when hypocrisy sprouts, even if you have the wisdom of ancient warrior kings you could not defeat a peasant, let alone a crowd of them'.

He might have well added that hypocrisy is as harmful for the peasants trying to win a measure of freedom as it is to the king that is trying to defeat them."
