Maybe, it’s a good thing that Bitcoin Twitter (“X”) isn’t on here arguing about the same things for weeks?

#grownstr #qoutestr “Between the newly ordained Jesuit, the young Marxist, the fresh staff officer, Enarque or MBA, there is no appreciable difference. All five are dominated by method and each of their methods arises from a common source. Appearances suggest that there must be some serious differences among them, since they regularly do battle with each other on behalf of their countries or professions. The differences must lie, therefore, in the content which they subject to their universal method. Or perhaps their rivalry is the result of their respective interests which, if the ferocity of their battles tells us anything, differ greatly. Yet when you examine these differences or the content involved or even their respective interests, you search in vain for any remarkable contradictions. All that separates them are the positions they occupy. They defend the structural interests assigned to them by their system. And even then, if you remove the screen of ideology, the ends they seek are pretty much of a kind.” Saul, John Ralston. Voltaire's Bastards (p. 108). Free Press. Kindle Edition.

#grownstr #history Mussolini came to power in 1922 by threatening violence against a weakened democracy. By 1928 he had eliminated Italian political parties. During the more than two decades of his dictatorship, the administrative and economic elites kept the machinery of the state running, pleased — as the Fascist cliché went — to be making the trains run on time. The same was true in Nazi Germany, as Albert Speer, Hitler’s minister of armaments, so convincingly described in his memoirs. It’s interesting to note the lengths to which he went in order to paint himself and therefore all other technocrats as the victims of the system: “Technology is depriving mankind more and more of self-responsibility.” In other words he was attempting to remove the element of moral choice from his actions. A great deal has been written about the collaboration of the French technical and bureaucratic leadership from 1940 to 1944. And, indeed, had Britain been occupied after 1940, there is nothing except local chauvinism to suggest that the reaction would have been different. Saul, John Ralston. Voltaire's Bastards (p. 246).
