I often think abt this story when I look at issues today. Tyranny works only through smaller conflicts among the subjects and hoping those local battles will not be fought. But when met with resistance, even other countries become liberated. The only strategy they have is to redirect our willpower.

It harps back to the age-old question about the morality of "just following orders". The store clerk was probably just doing what he was told to do so that he wouldn't get fired, but he was acting as the hand of tyranny, enforcing tyranny, and therefore being a tyrant. He wasn't just doing his job, he hadn't just pledged his own allegiance to the WHO and WEF; he was actively enforcing that allegiance onto others which is an oppressive, tyrannical and morally despicable act. Even if he thought he was being neutral and trying his best to stay out of the war, he ended up being at the front-lines of the battle and on the wrong side.
