For if you were prophet, it would make no difference if people knew it or not.Prophets sparkle much animosity. all the time. If they don't, they aren't. It makes a great difference is people realize what a prophet says. A never-ending difference.
If a prophet is not beloved by all, then they are not a prophet for all... so what use is this sort of prophet anyway?

Victor Hugo, whoopie. Turns out your ideas do absolutely nothing for you when you are dead, or when you will not speak. Stalin did an inspiring good job of halting the flow of ideas in Soviet Russia.
The only thing holding one back from stopping people from organizing (especially on a massive scale) is how much will they have in using deadly force available to them. Butchery is a fine method by which to control the weak. All the better if you can pull this off whilst at once making yourself into a hero.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
