Eichmann-the evil of banality: "Hannah Arendt" does not think about people, nor about society, but tacitly and practice the immoral and even anti-moral behaviors implicit in the system itself. "What starts with injustice must be consolidated with sin." An irreproachable tool of external will, an institutionalized product of bureaucratic machinery. As most socially meaningful behaviors are mediated by a long series of complex causal relationships and functional dependencies, people lack an intuitive understanding of their own behaviors, so moral dilemmas disappear from people’s vision, making people more and more The less opportunity there is to examine one's own behavior further, so as to make a conscious moral decision. He will not keep a certain distance to observe and reflect on the commands and rules he has been subjected to, nor will he contemplate the meaning of personal actions from the standpoint of others. The essence of the totalitarian system is to smooth out all the differences and boundaries between people and turn the pluralism and difference of people into a kind of collective identity. (Fundamental evil) ——Totalitarian society makes people superficial and atomized, loses spontaneous freedom, and it is no longer possible to develop personal moral commitment from rational freedom. The collapse of collective morality does catalyze the evil of banality, and this situation is exactly the characteristic of a totalitarian society. Putting power in the cage of the system, coupled with the supervision of public opinion, the only remedy for the mediocre evil behavior of people is people's positive thinking. Hollow loyalty (gullibility and cynicism)-I don’t care about the suffering and death of others that happen in front of my eyes every day. Normal sensibility is gradually absorbed in the never-ending exercise machine, becoming bored and indifferent and cynical, only What is left is the escape from reality, but the abstract passion for false and empty concepts. People don't believe what they see and hear, but they are willing to accept ideology and organization.

    Thinking that what he taught in class was exactly the same topic, and his words were connected into a sea of ​​ebb and flow, which I dare not forget. Individual memory is uneven in groups, and everyone is very forgetful. Combined with current events, it feels like one round after another. Today's killings are more than invisible. Still believe that there will be a liquidation in a few years. // The stage trace is heavy, but happens to be the part I like.

    HBO+BBC is too powerful, there is no fog and night, that kind of straightforward horror and despair, everything is graceful restraint, cruel fourteen people decided the fate of millions of people in a few hours, and I thought of all kinds of things I saw in Berlin The Holocaust Memorial is as fragile as I cried all the way This history is too heavy for anyone who has lived through it is in ruins
