    I study Hannah Arendt, and a lot of her existential philosophy is actually interesting.

    Her creation of “totalitarianism” though – truly CIA-level shit. Authoritarianism as the new watered down version is just… ughhhhhhHHHHHHHHH

      Yeah, the moment someone talks about authoritarianism I don’t care about their political opinions.

      Oh, the USSR used violence to enforce its societal rules and norms, like literally every human society in history, and that makes it uniquely evil and comparable to the Third Reich?
