A thread to celebrate Hannah Arendt's birthday:
14 October, 1906.
“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction [..] and the distinction between true and false [..] no longer exists.”
- Hannah Arendt
“When people are atomised, a movement or a strongman arises and he offers a story or an ideology which claims to explain everything, why people are unhappy.”
- Hannah Arendt
