  1. A quotation from Hannah Arendt

    The chief difference between the despotic and the totalitarian secret police lies in the difference between the “suspect” and the “objective enemy.” The latter is defined by the policy of the government and not by his own desire to overthrow it. He is never an individual whose dangerous thoughts must be provoked or whose past justifies suspicion, but a “carrier of tendences” like the carrier of a disease. Practically speaking, the totalitarian ruler proceeds like a man who persistently insults another man until everybody knows that the latter is his enemy, so that he can, with some plausibility, go and kill him in self-defense.

    Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
    Origins of Totalitarianism, Part 3, ch. 12 “Totalitarianism in Power,” sec. 1 (1951)

  10. Actually there isn't any paradox involved - if someone is trying to subjugate or kill you, then you have a responsibility to NOT tolerate them. It's called self defense, and self defense is an obligation to those around you.

  15. There is no need for politeness or non-violence against those who fully intend to use violence against you. Self defense is not a right, it's an actual obligation.
