some random Sunday reading here and BAM! what a well-written thought-provoking article.

I'm writing a book about a small group of heroes who stood up to Hitler during WW2, and your section on the "banality of evil" changed my way of portraying one of their tormentors; he was just doing his job, not personally evil, just "doing evil".

Thanks for your work on this newsletter. Looking forward to reading more.

Enjoyed the read and it spawned thinking in me that grew too big for a comment. https://wunkerful.substack.com/p/two-worlds

In my estimation we have to set the pants of politicians on fire metaphorically for certain but literally wouldn't be terrible. It's important to unlink yourself from the pacification of the mainstream and to witness the blips on the radar of true political action that are starting to slip through the dragnet (BLM protests/riots/coups).

The corporate status quo still hasn't fully solidified in the political consciousness as public enemy number one because the internet and media is entirely corporately owned and merged to absurdity.

fan-fucking-tastic. Great work, man. This runs along similar lines to a book I'm reading, "the death of homo economicus." Just how this logic of capital is affecting our own lives, plus the long term societal stuff that'll bite us in the ass, some more than others.
