Duke U. via Sally Yates' Piece About the Stakes of This Moment/Esquire.

Excerpted Arendt quote:

"The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e., the reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (i.e., the standards of thought) no longer exists."



If unacquainted with Arendt: it's a decent Intro. How prescient was ^that^, eh?
If unacquainted with the seminal '30s Dates of Infamy: ditto.



(If low on feelings of equanimity/or your meds have run out? er, never mind. For now.)
