Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Lorsqu'on a demandé à Tchekhov quelle était la nature des sociétés défaillantes, il a répondu :
"Dans les sociétés défaillantes, il y a mille sots pour chaque esprit éclairé, et mille paroles grossières pour chaque mot conscient. La majorité reste toujours ignorante, et l'homme raisonnable est constamment vaincu. Si vous voyez des sujets futiles dominer les discussions dans une société, et les sots occuper le devant de la scène, alors vous êtes en présence d'une société très défaillante.
Par exemple, les chansons et les paroles vides de sens trouvent des millions de gens pour danser et les répéter, et le chanteur devient célèbre, connu et aimé. Au point que les gens prennent son avis sur les questions de la société et de la vie.
Quant aux écrivains et aux auteurs, personne ne les connaît et personne ne leur accorde de valeur ou de poids. La plupart des gens aiment la futilité et l'anesthésie. Quelqu'un qui nous anesthésie pour nous éloigner de nos pensées, et quelqu'un qui nous fait rire avec des futilités, est meilleur que quelqu'un qui nous réveille à la réalité et nous fait mal en disant la vérité. C'est pourquoi la démocratie ne convient pas aux sociétés ignorantes, car c'est la majorité ignorante qui décidera de votre destin." Le monde littéraire.

Norway's Prime Minister rips apart Trump's stupid letter. Love this!
Every leader that receives a letter like this from DJT should do the same.
Thanks for your attention to this matter! BRILLIANT!

Vale one of Australia’s greatest authors, David Malouf.

David was a great man of letters. A master of his discipline, admired and cherished the world over for his poetry, fiction, opera, and memoir.

He was also a chronicler of our nation. A storyteller who captured and distilled our Australian spirit, collective memory and way of life into something pure.

Also a great Queenslander. A great Australian. He will be deeply missed.

Trump has created his own historical legacy. He will be remembered above all for threatening a whole civilisation, Iran, a country with 90 million citizens, with total destruction. A war crime unprecedented in world history.

Tony Abbott- “Former prime minister Tony Abbott said it was wrong to judge the actions of “men in mortal combat by the standards of ordinary civilian life”.”

Please explain Dear Tony, Australia’s Christian Warrior who loves Jesus. Please explain!

[L.W. Hartnett @Hartnett44]

Trump polling crashes. His popularity has been shattered. He has betrayed his most powerful pledge, not to fight wars in the Middle East. Israel has suckered him. Time for @elonmusk to step up and save him. Continuing silence can only be construed as consent.

"War is a sociological safety valve that cleverly diverts popular hatred for the ruling classes into a happy occasion to mutilate or kill foreign enemies.”

“At least two thirds of our miseries spring from human stupidity, human malice, and those great motivators and justifiers of malice and stupidity: idealism, dogmatism and proselytizing zeal on behalf of religious or political idols.”

— Aldous Huxley
