  2. “It seems to be easier for us today to imagine the thoroughgoing deterioration of the earth and of nature than the breakdown of late capitalism; perhaps that is due to some weakness in our imagination.” ― Fredric Jameson, The Seeds of Time

  3. "A man’s character is most evident by how he treats those who are not in a position either to retaliate or reciprocate." ― Paul Eldridge "Any sufficiently advanced act of benevolence is indistinguishable from malevolence." ― Charles T. Rubin, What is the Good of Transhumanism? "It is bias to think that the art of war is just for killing people. It is not to kill people, it is to kill evil. It is a stratagem to give life to many people by killing the evil of one person." ― Yagyu Munenori "Every Nazi who remains alive will kill women, children and old folks. Dead Nazis are harmless. Therefore, if I kill a Nazi, I am saving lives." ― Lyudmila Pavlichenko

  4. "He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him." ― C.G. Jung, on Hitler and the Shadow "The embrace, by working Americans, of policies that hurt their own interests can be understood on the basis of Ferenczi’s model of identification with the aggressor. Intrafamilial child abuse is often followed by the abuser’s denial. Children typically comply with abuse, in behavior and by embracing the abuser’s false reality, under threat of emotional abandonment. Similarly in the sociopolitical sphere, increasing threats of cultural and economic dispossession have pressed working Americans to adopt an ideology that misrepresents reality and justifies their oppression. In society as in the family, there can be a compensatory narcissistic reaction to forfeiting one’s rights that, ironically, encourages feelings of power and specialness while facilitating submission."

  7. “The morality of free society can have no application to slave society. . . .Make a man a slave, and you rob him of of moral responsibility. Freedom of choice is the essence of all accountability.” ― Frederick Douglass, My Bondage and My Freedom "We have to do with the past only as we can make it useful to the present and the future." ― Frederick Douglass, The Meaning of the Fourth of July for the Negro "A man is worked upon by what he works on. He may carve out his circumstances, but his circumstances will carve him out as well." ― Frederick Douglass, The Portable Frederick Douglass
