A quotation from Hannah Arendt
The disturbing factor in the success of totalitarianism is rather the true selflessness of its adherents: it may be understandable that a Nazi or Bolshevik will not be shaken in his conviction by crimes against people who do not belong to the movement or are even hostile to it; but the amazing fact is that neither is he likely to waver when the monster begins to devour its own children, and not even if he becomes a victim of persecution himself, if he is framed and condemned, if he is purged from the party and sent to a forced-labor or concentration camp. On the contrary, to the wonder of the whole civilized world, he may even be willing to help in his own prosecution and frame his own death sentence if only his status as a member of the movement is not touched.Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
Origins of Totalitarianism, Part 3, ch. 10 “A Classless Society,” sec. 1 (1951)

I read this book, it was really cool. Some spacemen used technology or magic to make themselves Hindu gods on another planet. What a bunch of dicks! It's been a long time since I read it but I think one of the spacemen came and shook everything up as Buddha ❤️

Finding Strength in the Smiles of Others: Embracing Hope and Resilience in Difficult Times
Introduction After reflecting on Eiichiro Oda’s quote about loneliness being more painful than physical hurt, there’s another piece of wisdom from the One Piece author that offers a counterpoint—a glimmer of hope for those of us caught in the depths of grief and loneliness. Oda once said, “Don’t forget to smile in any situation. As long as you are alive, there will be better things later, and there will be many.” These words resonate deeply, but they also present a […]
