Super power is face of inverted totalitarianism

Hannah Arendt, German born Political theorist
Super power power is always projected outside.
totalitarianism fascism. the nature of fascism in countries like Hungary is deluded because they dont have that ability to keep pushing power outside.
But US doing it perfect. Direct occupation in 2 countries, dozens of proxy wars.

consequences of super power.
education is not about the world we living, but a world that we idiolising.

The Public and its problems – John Dewey.
John Dewey, american philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer.

public is so fragmented. so difficult to reach them. so many intermediary entertainment, diversion, and so on, that the political message, public spirited ideas, just get lost.

super power creates a bureaucracy which operate in secrecy. you are not supposed to peer into administration. Obama administration war on whistle-blowers.

the whole idea of public is in such jeopardy
public ceased to be a kind of entity that is self conscious about itself.
everybody voted, people say public has expressed themselves. that is nonsense in a quantitative sense. did they asserted themselves by voting what they are thinking of themselves as a public. as performing a public act. a political act of a citizen or whether they expressing resentments or hopes or frustration more or less a private character? quandary word today

public is encouraged through the ethos of capitalism to express their interests.
Politics and Vision – Wolin

people are broken down to their interests. not as citizen in democracy. but a group of people looking for power.
keep them fragmented. and make them fight each other.
eg: Corporate strips workers benefits job protection, pension, medical, and use that fragment to fight public teachers since they have them. we dont have it so they also. Instead give benefits to all.

Walter Lippmann, American writer, reporter and political commentator.

destruction of public.

cultivation of victim hood of your group. that creates another fragment. reason for decline is undocumented workers, or liberals, or homosexuals.

Now its subdivide and conquer.
