“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 exist.” ― Hannah Arendt, "The Origins of Totalitarianism" #communism #nazism #postFactual #totalitarianism #war #propaganda #Russia #quotes #commOdon #truth #agnotology #history 🧶

Germany’s main parties each have a state-funded political foundation. Boasting thousands of employees, they have enforced a collective silence on the genocide in Gaza out of obedience to German foreign policy Ali Nobil Ahmad: https://jacobin.com/2024/11/germany-stiftungen-genocide-gaza-censorship #publicDebate #supremacy #supremacism #Netanyahu #Germany #totalitarianism #media #agnotology #beliefs #believe #Baerbock #collaboration #censorship #conflation #longRead #confusion #antisemitism #politics #guilt #recycling #manipulation #coOpting #fragility #crackdown #freeSpeech #nationalism #StandWithIsrael #racism #immigration #EuropeIsrael #IHRA #parties #democracy #FDP #SPD #CDU #DieGrünen #GreenParty #Bundestag #DEPol #GermanPolitics

"Where everybody lies about everything of importance, the truthteller, whether he knows it or not, has begun to act; he, too, has engaged himself in political business, for, in the unlikely event that he survives, he has made a start toward changing the world.” Hannah Arendt, in "Truth and Politics" #truth #Arendt #quotes #postFactual #reality #totalitarianism #HannahArendt #agnotology #MAHA #fragility #beliefs

I’ve been deeply reflecting on the Prairieland sentencing since it was announced yesterday. It’s weighing heavy on my heart. 💔 Imagine spending 30 years in prison for moving a box of zines. Literally. Meanwhile, Jan 6 *actual* domestic terrorists are all pardoned. This whole idea of antifa being an “organization” or a “cell” is the epitome of fascist totalitarianism propaganda. In his sentencing statement, Song said “what kind of people are not against fascism?” That’s the question we need to keep pushing. We need to force fascists who pretend they are otherwise to answer that question out in the open. Relentlessly. Song’s mother said “he’s accepted full responsibility for what actually happened. But he will never accept responsibility for a lie — a government lie made to prosecute innocent people in order to get political persecutions.” Fuck ICE. Fuck fascism. Fuck dictators. And fuck billionaires. https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/texas/2026/06/24/555395/prairieland-shooter-gets-100-years-others-30-70-in-ice-detention-center-antifa-protest/ #Prairieland #Propaganda #Totalitarianism
