“The horrors of Nazi terror could no longer remain hidden or so easily erased; thus their evil—unlike America’s—became apparent to the world, bringing shame to German culture. Stoddard needed to disappear so that America could hide its shame and remain respectable in the eyes of the world. Yet America continues without shame for our atrocities because America believes that it can erase or obscure our crimes. America, in its present state, has neither capacity nor space for shame, because our ethnocidal culture is founded upon forging shameless bad-faith relationships with our fellow man and the world.”

“In the afterword of the Signet Classics edition of 1984, Erich Fromm, who was associated with the Frankfurt School, articulated the primary question posed in dystopian literature as “Can human nature be changed in such a way that man will forget his longing for freedom, for dignity, for integrity, for love—that is to say, can man forget that he is human?” What makes Orwell’s work so powerful and relevant is that he articulates how human nature can be changed by corrupting systems and language. If a government or invading British army demands ownership of the truth, then it no longer matters if the truth is actually true or false.”
