Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809-1894) American poet, essayist, scholar
Article (1890-06), “Over the Teacups,” No. 7, Atlantic Monthly, Vol. 65Sourcing, notes: wist.info/holmes-sr-oliver-wen…

@Lazarou They feel nothing, they are dead inside. #Devoid. It is unsatisfied need for #Power and #Kapital at the expense of #HumanLife. It is a #LegalCrime world for most of us, and we are the victims. Victimized in every way you can concieve of since birth, but you are unaware or in #Denial. As the trajectory of your life goes on, you realize that #Autonomy and #Agency are hard to find, maybe in the absolute sense #Unattainable. #ConflictTheory
