Marry that with #VáclavHavel’s notion of a consumerist driven post-totalitarianism and we arrive at the reality of our present moment. The parts that are all filled in are those individuals’s whose God is their salary. God is an unwritten god. God is bigger than what one can find in a book. #theology #philosophy #ClimateChange #law #totalitarianism #capitalism

教学的勇气里提到了捷克斯洛伐克的前总统Vaclav Havel。 他拥有戏剧背景，写过一本书叫做“The Power of the Powerless”。
我想到疫情前在菲律宾遇到的一个捷克朋友，她在法国生活，早些时候通过勤工俭学在澳大利亚和法国学习了英语和法语。 我们疫情后没有联系了。
看到维基百科上对Vaklav的描述，有一个词语是Humanitarian。希望更多搞政治的能多一点人文素养。

It really does match up with this quote you have posted with "consumers" replacing the permissive* human beings of cold war oppression. I think about #VáclavHavel's writings often when I think about society and #ClimateChange and violence.

I am fairly certain, given everything I have read about Havel over the years, he was likely not petty.

282 followers · 384 posts · Server cylon.spaceI just realized that if we combine two teachings: that Václav Havel warned post-totalitarianism would centralize consumerism as the method of rule and that Walter Benjamin taught that law is* violence, then we can easily come to the conclusion that *consumerism equals violence*, which is something we see all the time in reports on human rights and climate.

„Havlovo prezidentství mělo silně mravní rozměr, což po éře normalizace způsobilo silný impulz pro společnost. Mělo to ale i problematický rozměr: vzbudilo to očekávání, co politika může a má splňovat.“

First episode has Kremlin deceptions and fascist brutality from #SpanishCivilWar to #PragueSpring to Putin's Russia (of course with the current invasion of Ukraine as a backdrop).
