"when governments turn evil, they fall apart, his coalition was always weak. brittle fascism, constrained by the deteriorating mental condition of Trump & the narcissism of its participants.The chaos of their collective evil may be our saving grace.”

 "Before the 2024 election, Piers Morgan interviewed Peter Thiel and asked a question about Luigi Mangione, who murdered a healthcare CEO in cold blood:

And to those who think this shooter is a hero because he did it because he said this healthcare executive was presiding over a healthcare system which kills thousands of Americans by denying them cover, what would you say to them?

What followed is one of the most excruciating non-answers I have ever heard, but also instructive because, at least to me, Thiel seems like a man contorted by the desire to say what he really thinks but realizes that he can’t screw up Trump’s chances by saying something blatantly evil. He reminds me of the farmer at the beginning of Men In Black who has been infested by an alien that can’t quite wear its human suit right."

"Evil is not an ideology and it is not a plan. It is a human construct that can be described by, as Hannah Arendt said, its “banality” or by its inverse—“the absence of empathy.”

But evil is also chaotic because it universally inflicts pain and suffering on human beings, who universally don’t like it—and naturally seek to stop it. That’s why when governments turn evil, they always fall apart, eventually. It’s just a matter of how much death and destruction they cause on the way out.

Trump’s coalition was always weak, a brittle sort of fascism, constrained by the deteriorating mental condition of its leader, and the narcissism of its participants. In a strange way, the chaos of their collective evil may be our saving grace.”
