WIST QuotationsA quotation from Hannah Arendt
For the propaganda of totalitarian movements which precede and accompany totalitarian regimes is invariably as frank as it is mendacious, and would-be totalitarian rulers usually start their careers by boasting of their past crimes and carefully outlining their future ones. The Nazis were “convinced that evil-doing in our time has a morbid force of attraction,” Bolshevik assurances inside and outside Russia that they do not recognize ordinary moral standards have become a mainstay of Communist propaganda, and experience has proven time and again that the propaganda value of evil deeds and general contempt for moral standards is independent of mere self-interest, supposedly the most powerful psychological factor in politics.Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
The Origins of Totalitarianism, Part 3, ch. 10 “A Classless Society,” sec. 1 (1951)

(((JaneinNJ)))And my 10yo granddaughter—her daughter— just learned that a collage she made in art class (different elementary school) has been picked to represent her entire school in a district-wide art show! #ProudMama #ProudGrandmother #ArtsAreEssential #kvelling #bragging (2/2)
Time to #kvell. My daughter, a 3rd grade teacher, managed to secure the only #Disney musicals grant in NJ (one of only 71 in the country) for 2025-26. She’s got 70 little kids doing a slamming version of The Lion King and has literally created a drama program at her school, where there was none before.
