    Honestly its bizzare that the original phrase gets said so often. There aren’t really that many scenarios in history where “hard times” didn’t just lead to corrupt people making times harder.

      War is manly and good! Except also bad which is why men and soldiers must be revered and maintain a hold on all positions of power.
