A quotation from Hannah Arendt
The disturbing factor in the success of totalitarianism is rather the true selflessness of its adherents: it may be understandable that a Nazi or Bolshevik will not be shaken in his conviction by crimes against people who do not belong to the movement or are even hostile to it; but the amazing fact is that neither is he likely to waver when the monster begins to devour its own children, and not even if he becomes a victim of persecution himself, if he is framed and condemned, if he is purged from the party and sent to a forced-labor or concentration camp. On the contrary, to the wonder of the whole civilized world, he may even be willing to help in his own prosecution and frame his own death sentence if only his status as a member of the movement is not touched.
Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
Origins of Totalitarianism, Part 3, ch. 10 “A Classless Society,” sec. 1 (1951)More about this quote: wist.info/arendt-hannah/42025/

We must come to the Principles of Jesus. But, when will all Men and all Nations do as they would be done by? Forgive all Injuries and love their Enemies as themselves? I leave those profound Phylosophers whose Sagacity perceives the Perfectibility of Humane Nature, and those illuminated Theologians who expect the Apocalyptic Reign, to enjoy their transporting hopes; provided always that they will not engage us in Crusades and French Revolutions, nor burn us for doubting.

Prodigy is at its essence: adaptability and persistent, positive obsession. Without persistence, what remains is an enthusiasm of the moment. Without adaptability, what remains may be channeled into destructive fanaticism. Without positive obsession, there is nothing at all.

@QasimRashid And while USians are whining about their prices, they destroy #foodSafety in poorer countries https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/16/africa-particularly-vulnerable-iran-conflict-disrupts-supply-chains and endanger the poor people of the rest of the world.
But well, that's part of #fascism and evangelical sectarian #fanaticism to crash the world for the survival of billionaires!The number of countries that hate the USA is growing by the hour. But you still have friends like Netanyahu, Putin or Kim Yong Un.

“He aspired not only to spiritual leadership but also to political power.

We were not aware that there existed in the midst of our own Country, and in the present day, a spirit of fanaticism, so base, so wicked & so bloody, as to brake forth into a frenzy of unprovoked violence, not only against the most respectable characters, but against knowledge & science themselves.
James Currie (1756-1805) Scottish physician, biographer
Letter (1791-07) to Joseph Priestley for the Liverpool Dissenters (draft)More about this quote: wist.info/currie-james/80394/

If you feel in your mind a restlessness that you should be doing more to fix your situation, that you could be spending your time better, and if you watch a video or listen to a podcast from somebody who puts that restlessness at ease by saying, "Hey, it's not your fault. It's due to capitalism or the billionaires or this demographic group. It's the government. It's the economy."
If that quiets that fire inside you, that restlessness that makes you want to change your situation, then they have poisoned you.
They have put a toxin into your bloodstream.

I think we all understand not everyone who aren't well read are bigots or fanatics, but holy hell, some, even many, ARE.
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Literature encourages tolerance -- bigots and fanatics seldom have any use for the arts, because they're so preoccupied with their beliefs and actions that they can't see them also as possibilities. -Northrop Frye, writer and critic (14 Jul 1912-1991)
