May these quotes about Denounce inspire and motivate you.
Naturally, the common people don't want war ...
but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy,
and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along,
whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship,
or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought
to the bidding of the leaders.
That is easy. All you have to do is tell them
they are being attacked,
and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism
and exposing the country to danger.
It works the same in every country.
- Hermann Goering

for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as a liberator,
while the wolf denounces him for the same act

especially as the sheep was a black one.

upon a definition of the word liberty;
and precisely the same difference
prevails today among us human creatures
- Abraham Lincoln
