I have a cousin in Slovenia who is nostalgic for the days of Tito who butchered more people per capita than Stalin. Perhaps because he was half Slovenian. I still can’t get my head around that. Do you know that when Stalin died people in the gulag cried? Humans are so bizarre and it bothers me that there are sop many lemmings who can’t see the dictatorship that 0bama is setting up.
By definition, most people are of mediocre or lower intelligence.
Modern totalitarianism is a truly odd phenomenon. Earlier, subsistence level cultures which resorted to brute force had some reason(s) for it. The modern phenomenon is far more destructive and usually just to stroke the egos of some very small people of very limited talent. Odd.
I was aware of the condemned weeping in the gulag for the “Man of Steel”. References to that episode always make me think of Solzhenitsyn’s short story: “An Incident at Krechetovka Station”. It will be a great misfortune if the 21st C. is more degenerated with Statism than the 20th. It could even result in another dark age.
