@Npars01 @augieray Thanks for the documentation!! I know that many find the claim "Death is the goal" incredible, but without understanding that, it’s impossible to gain any genuine overall understanding of the thinking and behavior of #plutocrats.

I wish more people would read "Eichmann in Jerusalem" by Hannah #Arendt. Toward the end of that book, she points out that the need to use the labor of the German working class required the Nazis to limit their #Holocaust to particular groups (Jews, Romani, Slavs, homosexuals, etc.) — and she speculates that in the future, automation might render mass labor unnecessary, and open the possibility of a Holocaust of the vast majority of the human species, regardless of ethnicity. Today's #oligarchs think we're there already, or very soon will be.

In a way, emphasizing the racism of the #plutocracy misses the point, and reinforces the false sense of invulnerability that the Right's white mass base feels. They are seriously kidding themselves if they think their white skin will save them from the fate their #plutocratic masters have in store for them.

@[email protected] "You don't tolerate a fascist for the same reason that you don't tolerate malignant cancer." Indeed you don't. Because THEY WILL KILL YOU IF YOU LET THEM. Already in the 1960s Hannah #Arendt foresaw the rise of a version of fascism that would attempt a #Holocaust aimed not merely at particular ethnicities and lifestyles, but at the entire mass of the people. The original #Nazis knew they needed at least the German working class. Today's #oligarchs think they can automate all the work — as Arendt foresaw. THEY WANT TO KILL US ALL. This is not hyperbole but literal truth. BTW this includes their own #MAGA mass base. All the minions are suckers. #exterminism #DeathWithDeniability

A quotation from Hannah Arendt

If, as I suggested before, the ability to tell right from wrong should turn out to have anything to do with the ability to think, then we must be able to “demand” its exercise from every sane person, no matter how erudite or ignorant, intelligent or stupid, he may happen to be.

Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist

The sad truth of the matter is that most evil is done by people who never made up their minds to be or do either evil or good.

Troubled Love by William Lyons at Etcetera Theatre

"4 scenes that play across decades of their lives, but there’s precious little interest in who they are as people or how their love has come about and persisted."

Anthropologists know: a gift is only a gift if it is being accepted in an appropriate manner. The acceptance of a prize is by giving a speech in which one expresses one’s gratitude “toward the world” whom one “owes” and to whom one is “committed”. An honor is “imposed” upon the speaker, so #Arendt
In Hamburg, #Arendt played the role in which she was being cast by wearing “the mask of Lessing”, as it was put during a roundtable organized by the Koerber Foundation in 2023. As it turned out, Arendt had been right to distance herself from being ‘reclaimed’ ... koerber-stiftung.de/mediathek/vo...
