  • Sartre’s bit about how fascists want to be anything but a man, also cleanly maps onto ICE traffickers.


    JEAN PAUL SARTE

    They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The antisemites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert.

    If the Jew did not exist, the anti-Semite would invent him.

    [The anti-Semite attributes] all or part of his own misfortunes and those of his country to the presence of Jewish elements in the community, … proposes to remedy this state of affairs by depriving the Jews of certain of their rights, by keeping them out of certain economic and social activities, by expelling them from the country, by exterminating all of them …

    It is not unusual for people to elect to live a life of passion rather than of reason. But ordinarily they love the objects of passion: women, glory, power, money. Since the anti-Semite has chosen hate, we are forced to conclude that it is the state of passion that he loves.

    [The anti-Semite] fears every kind of solitariness… however small his stature, he takes every precaution to make it smaller, lest he stand out from the herd and find himself face to face with himself. He has made himself an anti-Semite because that is something one cannot be alone.

    [The anti-Semite is afraid] of himself, of his own consciousness, of his own liberty, of his instincts, of his responsibilities, of solitariness, of change, of society, and the world – of everything except the Jews. [He is] a coward who does not want to admit his cowardice to himself.

    Anti-Semitism, in short, is fear of the human condition. The anti-Semite is a man who wishes to be a pitiless stone, a furious torrent, a devastating thunderbolt – anything except a man.








  • I think ICE should be treated as a class. When found guilty after trial by having pay records with ICE, summary execution. Otherwise, we will have Confederate shitheads raising family and tainting future generations with their malice. The cycle must be broken, and the reaper is the only reliable jailer.

    This isn’t for sake of vengence that I say this. Rather, it is because Nuremberg had only 210 Nazis executed, despite the millions of people who suffered at their hands.

    We must excise America of the Confederates, for the sake of a better future.
