What the fuck are you doing? Aren't you French? We aren't in America, asshole. Aren't you, under all that riot gear, a sans-culotte? Every true Frenchman knows how this ends. What fucked you up so bad that you forgot?

Bitter irony: absentee voting as a US citizen from Finland

We are not machines. We are only the broken automata of the last war, and we now step back into the darkness. But with this deed, we have made room for the new and the free in the EU & US, for the open and the vast in the world. It is now up to you, the people, to chart the path ahead. vi.

Hatred, envy, violence, all of this arises only from the oppressive nature of authoritarianism. Our deed will prevent the European and American people from degenerating into human machines, without feeling, without mercy, and without love. v.

Fascism is a psychological phenomena driven by the collective unconscious, mass psychosis, and the eruption of ancient archetypes like Wotan.

Totalitarian leaders did not just manipulate people, but acted as mouthpieces for a surging, primitive psychic force in the mass unconscious of the population.

The 1936 essay "Wotan" describes the ancient Germanic storm god as re-awakening in the German psyche, sweeping individuals into a collective frenzy.

Dictators like Adolf Hitler are empty "personality models" or totems onto which insecure masses projected their repressed shadow, inferiority, and destructive impulses.

- Carl Jung

Fascism is the basic emotional attitude of the suppressed man of our authoritarian machine civilization and its mechanistic-mystical view of life.

The authoritarian family replaces the state in miniature; it is the factory in which the state's structure and-ideology are molded.

The protagonists of the fascist plague have looked through the incapacity for freedom of masses of people and have declared that it is an absolute biologic fact.

Love, work and knowledge are the well-springs of our life. They should also govern it.

- Wilhelm Riech, THe Mass Psychology of Fascism, 1933

Nothing makes more surely for schismogenesis, then or today, than the dehumanizing concept of conscious purpose. - Gregory Bateson

Even 100 yrs from now, people will marvel at what we accomplished in those years after the war. The achievements of sci & medicine, psych & pharma, film & lit, the rights of women, a free arts & free press, free speech & constructive debate, & not least of all, the unwavering stance vs. war. iv.

In war, a person loses his soul, his compassion. His love of nature & the world. What remains is a specter, shattered in body and mind. We ourselves are these specters. We, the former comrades,the ghosts of war. Today, we have killed one of our own. It was our final duty to this country. iii.

Citizens of Europe & America: In a little while, you will elect a new government. Who you give your vote to is your decision. The people are the sovereign of a nation, and no one else. Any political force that opposes this principle must be stopped. i.

💯 A brass band on the deck of the titanic. Per Max Sebald, the musical metaphor may be the only way we can really look at it. Riffing on the Kalevala, Tolkien turned to it to frame WWI & II as cosmic musical disharmony (the Ainulindalë, Music of the Ainur).
