“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"

Make it true: Hannah #Arendt observed that men gaining #power in Germany did not lie because they believed what they were saying, or even because they expected YOU to believe it. They were lying to state out what had to become #true in order to justify what they intended to do. ⸺ #communism #nazism #postFactual #war #Russia #performance #FRPol #Macron #politics #communication #propaganda #commOdon #media #truth #agnotology
