banality of evil 

can one do evil without one being evil?

evil deeds without evil intentions; thoughtlessness and disengagement from reality; inability to think from the stand point of someone else; shallow and clueless; a joiner 

a man who drifted in search of purpose and direction, not out of ideological belief 

lack of self reflection defines evil; casualness of evil

the reasons they do what they do aren’t specifically to sow evil (cracking egg, example)

mundane acts of violence, as part of daily business; just what they do

negligent, selfish, uncaring = byproduct of chosen life

human identities, riddled with fragile complexities

In Patan, the biennial art expedition Photo KTM5 was spread throughout the bhals! The show presented the everyday hypocrisy that is tolerated even as it destroys the world around us. #banalityofevil #photoktm5 #chhimokichara #socialtours #socialtoursnepal #unitedplanet #ursulinecollege #art #murals https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpq2R_QDxzh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This, as virtually every reader of Arendt knows, was one of her more controversial moves, and it has plagued her and discussion of her book ever since. But regardless of one’s position on Arendt’s argument, it’s a relatively well known fact—certainly well known to anyone who’s read the book—that one of the central postulates of the book is that Eichmann’s crimes cannot be explained by his personal animus to the Jews.

Yesterday, I got into an argument with Chelsea Clinton. On Twitter. About Hannah Arendt.

The babies, many of them are children are being killed. Too gruesome to post. My heart is broken. Their leader, #assad is evil and should be cut to pieces for his war crimes. @cass.shap: Put aside your disillusionment with the politics surrounding us this year and look at these people, really look. They're humans. They're all equal to you in every way. They are being killed merely for being alive. They are kids. They are women. They are men. They are babies. Do anything you can. Sign anything you can. Call anyone you can. Donate anything you can. US citizens aren't the only humans who deserve the freedom of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" EVERY human in the world deserves it for the mere fact that they are human. HUMAN. What would you do if you knew you, your parents, siblings, children were hours away from becoming victims of a genocide? No one should EVER have to think about that. Refusing to stand behind the Syrian (or any, for that matter) refugees is disgusting to me...regardless of what side of the political fence you sit on. This should reach down into you and make you feel your humanity and the humanity of everyone on this planet. #Aleppo #standwithaleppo #genocideishappening #wakeup #banalityofevil #assadwarcrimes #richestnationintheworlddoesnothing #TrumpandPutin #savehumanity
