TheBookHippie You‘re in for a ride 🎢 4d
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie this book is making me feel like the 20‘s are cursed and then next 30 years are going to be hell. 4d
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie the 2020‘s are gearing up to be much like the 1920‘s. 4d

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I mean, I already had that feeling, but this book is really confirming that for me. 4d
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics I know. 😵‍💫 4d
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie just change the names and the countries and this could be 2070 and the rebuilding (again) West. 3d
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics yup. Heather Cox Richardson says she will not see the end. She‘s 62. I won‘t either. 3d
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I might see the end. I‘ll be 84 in 2070. I fear I won‘t see the end either. 3d
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics I hope you do!!! Hold the line! 🙃🤪 3d
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I literally went in to indeed today to do my daily ritual of feeling crappy about myself to get the message “we can‘t find any job recommendations for you at this time.” That amount of self loathing should last me DAYS! 3d
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics 😵‍💫😵‍💫😩😩😩😩 I‘m so sorry!!! 3d
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie it‘s not surprising. I was honestly expecting the job market to crash after he was sworn in. It just sucked to actually see. Who knows when or if it will ever come back. 3d
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics I foresee lots of field work jobs here 😵‍💫😝 3d
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie there is all that forest land around you to exploit and destroy. I‘m sure there will be lots of work in the fields that handle that sort of thing. If they deport everyone who isn‘t white, that will leave all of those jobs too. 3d
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics RIGHT?! My treeeees!! 3d

I am reading this book slowly. There is an overwhelming amount of information that requires thoughtful processing.

TheBookHippie It‘s my third time through 🙃 still grasping things new. 2w
GingerAntics I finally got a copy, so hopefully I can start it this weekend. 2w
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie that‘s the sign of a good book. 2w
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics reminders needed currently 😵‍💫 2w
ravenlee I‘m reading it in fits and starts. Sometimes I find it inspiring, and sometimes depressing, to find so many parallels to today. 2w

Our friend, Varian Fry,(The Flight Portfolio) mentioned in relation to Arendt‘s ability to leave Europe for the USA. Life‘s intersections at work.

“…the propaganda effect of infallibility: the trick of appearing omnipotent by prophesying a future that you then make happen.”

Cuilin Oh shoving people over the border to make a migrant crisis? Watch what will happen soon. 2w
kspenmoll @Cuilin Its going to be challenge to be hopeful with this “regime.” 2w
ravenlee @Cuilin @kspenmoll I just shared a quote from Angela Davis in Freedom Is a Constant Struggle about optimism of the will despite pessimism of the intellect. It feels very apt today. 2w
kspenmoll @ravenlee Thank you! I just saw it & photographed for a “picture book” I am starting to go to when i feel the need! 2w

Eichmann sounds a lit like somebody else in today‘s news, doesn‘t he? I mean, like a lot of somebodys, really.

Cuilin I thought that too. And history repeats itself. 3w
Tamra There is so much history on repeat. 3w
Larkken This articulates my feelings about sooo many people that have sat next to me and used me as a set piece to pontificate to lately! I think theres an epidemic of them 😝 3w
kspenmoll Yes, so much is repeating itself right now- it‘s a challenge to not be afraid of our future. 3w

I am taking it slow reading this book. How are others doing? This particular passage spoke to me quite loudly. #adventuresinphilosophy #resistance #HannahArendt

Cuilin I read some before the holidays but had to return it to the library. I may borrow it again. 1mo
GingerAntics I haven‘t been able yup get my hands on a copy of this yet. Hopefully in the next few weeks. 🤞🏻 1mo
Suet624 I have to say I read at least a 1/4 of the book and then decided it wasn't what I was looking for. It was more about her life and what I was looking for was books she had written. So I'm trying to find some at libraries before I pursue online. My book budget has gone completely off the rails. 4w
kspenmoll @Suet624 Thanks for your input!!! I have not gotten very far… Does your library have 4w
Suet624 I just put a hold on The Origins of Totalitarianism. 4w
