He previously sent Adam to spy on Juliette to check if she was insane or actually capable of human interaction. Warner proposes that Adam should join his team in order to torture people for him. He used the resources he received as sector leader to try and find a cure for his mother. Warner took her last name, and asked to be the leader of Sector 45 in order to stay in close proximity to her. His mother, who was sick from her power, needed to be "stored" in a house away from the compounds. Many times, Anderson woke up to find his son trying to kill him in his sleep, but every time, Warner broke down and could not follow through with it. His father taught him how to shoot a gun when he was nine years old. He spent a large part of his life training. Throughout much of Warner's life his father taught him to be cold, unfeeling, and to bury his emotions. She gave it to him on his sixth birthday as a distraction while they hid from Anderson and told him a story of a man carving the jade ring off the color of Warner's eyes. It was a green ring that he now always wears on his pinkie. His first and only actual gift was from his mother. Anderson thought that giving him gifts would make Warner weak and dependent on others. Aside from the whippings, his father never allowed him to have birthday presents from anyone. His father abused him from a very young age, whipping him every year on his birthday as "gifts". Aaron Warner was born to Leila Warner and Paris Anderson.

The parties that remade states and suppressed rivals were not omnipotent from the start. So choose an institution you care about and take its side.ģ. Do not speak of “our institutions” unless you make them yours by acting on their behalf. It is institutions that help us to preserve decency. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.Ģ. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. Americans are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy yield to fascism, Nazism or communism. Our one advantage is that we might learn from their experience. Now is a good time to do so. From across the fearful twentieth century, here are twenty lessons about what it takes to oppose tyranny, adapted to the circumstances of today.ġ. |
