Der Freiheit eine Heimstätte: Hannah Arendt und die amerikanische Republik - Politik & Ökonomie Blog Die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika waren ab den 1940er-Jahren für Hannah Arendt Wahlheimat.

Hannah #Ahrendt about the US in her book On Revolution, 1963:

"It is entirely possible that the republic will be destroyed by the wealth and consumerism of its society, just as the European republics were shaken to their foundations by misery and hardship."

BTW. Ich finde nachfolgendes Zitat von Hannah #Ahrendt für die heutige Zeit sehr passend,es ist auch sowas wie meine Faschismusdefintion (im Umkehrschluss) geworden.

Similarly today, we see the logic of the mob at play. President Trump and many of his most mob-like supporters hate society, and they point to the way that black men, perceived criminals, Jews, and minorities in general are tolerated by society. They disdain government and they point to the way that blacks and minorities are protected by the state. They feel disenfranchised and excluded from cultural and political positions of power. The mob, "excluded as it is from society and political representation, ... turns of necessity to extraparliamentary action.... For the mob hates society from which it is excluded, as well as Parliament where it is not represented." Arendt's point is that the rise of mobs does not aim to remedy their disenfranchisement with more democracy. "While the people in all great revolutions fight for true representation, the mob always will shout for the 'strong man,' the 'great leader.'" What mobs want is not political representation and democracy, but power through the embrace of criminal means to exclude and repress groups they see as vying for power. The rise of mobs takes place amidst a struggle for social, cultural, and political power.

2/ Hannah #Ahrendt:

What mobs (like #Trump et al) want is not political representation and democracy, but power through the embrace of criminal means to exclude and repress groups they see as vying for power. The rise of mobs takes place amidst a struggle for social, cultural, and political power.

Opinion: Donald Trump – and American democracy – is getting exponentially worse Corruption, extremism, authoritarianism, narcissism: it’s all there now, right at the top of the world’s most powerful democracy – and it can only accelerate from here

H. #Ahrendt once said: "What is considered a crime in peace times is, at most, a moral offense in times of crisis."

With 🍁 passion A. Coyne has written a sharp reckoning of Trump's regime, its crimes, lies and corruption. A passion which got lost in America.

Hannah Arendt heeft een interessant boek geschreven over mensen als Henk Kamp: De banaliteit van het kwaad. #HannahAhrendt #Ahrendt #Banaliteitvanhetkwaad #HenkKamp

3. Hannah #Ahrendt, the preeminent scholar of totalitarianism, has identified lying as a key feature. The point is erasing the distinction between truth and falsehood, as truth is dangerous to the rulers.
