No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Just because the picture lacks quite a few pixels, I'm gonna leave this here for better legibility.
And I checked and the quote you remembered was from "Night Watch", published in 2002.
But luckily Vimes isn't a fascist deep down, so it's more referring to the general psyche and not actually implying everyone is officially criminal
Thanks for finding that stuff! Yeah I suppose that "everyone was guilty of something" line just didn't age well for me. You're right that Vimes is certainly no fascist, especially given the other events in Night Watch.
It's Ankh-Morpork, I think canonically only Carrot isn't a criminal in that town
Well I wouldn't so far as to argue that, but I should like to make a few additions.
First, I think Vimes is talking about guilt in general, not necessarily of being guilty of a crime, per se.
Secondly, I think Carrot is canonically the only actually law abiding citizen, yeah, but... that would still leave at least Vetinari, who makes the rules, no?
I wanted a quote from Vetinari here but there's too many so here's a couple. First, description, not a quote.
"He didn't administer a reign of terror, just the occasional light shower."
And
One more for the road
Or, you know, click on the image, right click and say "Open in a new tab" (or just click on it again), then click on it a third time and it will open in a magnified form.
Then you will be able to view it with as many pixels as you want.
I think our mobiles have different resolutions.
I am using a web browser on a laptop, so yeah -- it's entirely possible :)
