    Blunt, aggressive, in-your-face, overt, **** sure = Trump.

    Pussyfooting is more characteristic of career politicians.

    I am about halfway through The Origins of Totalitarianism. The systematic atomization of human society into a mass of disconnected individuals seems to be required before dictator can impose totalitarian rule. Orwell's description of totalitarianism was understated fiction. Arendt dissects the even uglier reality.

    "Mass atomization in Soviet society was achieved by the skillful use of
    repeated purges which invariably precede actual group liquidation. In order
    to destroy all social and family ties, the purges are conducted in such a way
    as to threaten with the same fate the defendant and all his ordinary relations,
    from mere acquaintances up to his closest friends and relatives. The
    consequence of the simple and ingenious device of "guilt by association" is
    that as soon as a man is accused, his former friends are transformed immediately
    into his bitterest enemies; in order to save their own skins, they
    volunteer information and rush in with denunciations to corroborate the
    nonexistent evidence against him; this obviously is the only way to prove
    their own trustworthiness. Retrospectively, they will try to prove that their
    acquaintance or friendship with the accused was only a pretext for spying
    on him and revealing him as a saboteur, a Trotskyite, a foreign spy, or a
    Fascist. Merit being "gauged by the number of your denunciations of close
    comrades," 34 it is obvious that the most elementary caution demands that
    one avoid all intimate contacts, if possible — not in order to prevent discovery of
    one's secret thoughts, but rather to eliminate, in the almost certain case of future trouble,
    all persons who might have not only an ordinary
    cheap interest in your denunciation but an irresistible need to bring about
    your ruin simply because they are in danger of their own lives. In the last
    analysis, it has been through the development of this device to its farthest
    and most fantastic extremes that Bolshevik rulers have succeeded in creating an
    atomized and individualized society the like of which we have
    never seen before and which events or catastrophes alone would hardly
    have brought about."

    The Origins of Totalitarianism, by HANNAH ARENDT, Meridian Books , A MERIDIAN HOOK, Cleveland and New York, 1958.

    /The reason Orwell was understated, was he was critiquing left wing gov totalitarianism, during war. NOT right wing, which is more blatantly evil.

    Trump hired her - so apparently not him. Says a lot about his judgement.

    Guy, that is just not very credible. Trump's daughter is a Jew.

    I have NEVER said it to a black person, nor meant it as a pejorative. There is NOTHING wrong in using it for historical purposes nongratuituously.

    Stalin and Hitler were allies when they started WW II. Which one was the "right winger"?

    It seems she's saying that first there must be chaos and/or anarchy before totalitarian rule can be imposed. The US actually lucked out after winning the Revolution and still maintaining order. France nor Russia were that lucky. Germany had the chaos of a depression, but still maintained order all the way to a fascist state so the theory isn't perfect.

    I have said it AROUND blacks. Historically, in jokes, that are biting and realistic.

    I have NO FEAR of saying the wrong thing, as it is apparent to every human and animal, that I am a egalitarian.

    I used to work in and around south central. Hung with bangers to get the feel of the area, shared a bowl.

    Good intentions will get you far.

    The book was not literal. Orwell wrote a book explaining all this. He was familiar with the lining up, the rationing, and yes, the propaganda of the UK.

    Hitler was much more RW'd than Stalin as previously discussed.

    Doubtful. OTOH, a more accurate question would be "Is there a white person here who has never called a person the n-word"? Yes, there is.

    Problem with white nationalists is, the blacks smell FEAR on them.

    If you guys would just develop the requisite COURAGE, you too could stop fearing the knockout game.

    I think that's true of any haters regardless of melanin content. You can smell the fear and/or stupid on them.

    Yes, some blacks resent the position that folks that fear them have shoved blacks. Racial anger is destructive of civil society.

    Why? Liberals and democrats always lie under oath?

    Strzork, Clinton, Other Clinton, etc.

    Maybe we should make perjury in a federal case a death sentence?

    Lying under oath is perjury and perjury is a criminal offense which has put a lot of people in jail. What perjury has Strzok and Hillary done? We all know Bill perjured himself and was disbarred for it. I think the only reason he didn't go to jail was because he was President.
