”Le azioni erano mostruose, ma chi le fece era pressoché normale, né demoniaco né mostruoso.” #HannaArendt

Partendo dal processo #Eichmann una riflessione schietta e, purtroppo, sempre attuale.

"Il suddito ideale del regime totalitario non è il nazista convinto o il comunista convinto, ma l'individuo per il quale la distinzione fra realtà e finzione, fra vero e falso non esiste più.“

Hannah Arendt nata il #14ottobre 1906

@Stoori Recognising the fascistic tendency or potential of communications modes and media formats is actually precisely what I'm encouraging here.

It's not that "all memes are fascist".

But you'll find that very nearly all fascists uses memes.

I'm reminded of the parallel with a famous observation of John Stuart Mill on stupidity and conservatives:

I did not mean that Conservatives are generally stupid; I meant, that stupid persons are generally Conservative. I believe that to be so obvious and undeniable a fact that I hardly think any hon. Gentleman will question it.

My view (supported by the work of Arendt, Paxton, Eco, MacDonald, and others) is that fascism is a behavioural mode, not an ideologial one, one that tends to be highly emotive, low-information, and reactionary. It probably emerges in times of high social and political stress.

Knowing that, and being aware of the risks and signs is valuable.

Yes, fascism wears ideological trappings, but those serve its behaviours and not the other way 'round. The specific ideologies claimed are fluid and flexible and inconsistent both internally and over time.

"Hitler and Mussolini and Father Coughlan and Huey Long and Franklin Roosevelt, and a large number of other political figures of this period attained their enormous influence by radio."

S.I. Hayakawa and General Semantics (1968)

I've had a few recommendations to look at the work of Hayakawa. He was an english professor, university president, and senator (from California). A decidedly eclectic mix.

The quote above comes at the opening of this lecture. Highly recommended.

I'd come to the realisation of the significance of media and its role on society and politics a few years ago. I keep running into validation of that notion.

McLuhan isn't mentioned AFAICT though he makes similar points. Also #HannaArendt and the #FrankfortSchool

Hannah Arendt erforschte zeitlebens, wie totalitäre Regime Menschen entrechten. Manche ihrer Schriften sind nicht frei von rassistischen Mustern. Wie passt das zusammen? Ein Gespräch über blinde Flecken mit der Philosophin Iris Därmann.
