Redd’s Quotes

“What late capitalism repeats from Stalinism is just this valuing of symbols of achievement over actual achievement.”
― Mark Fisher, Capitalist Realism: Is There No Alternative?

“Strange enough how creatures of the human-kind shut their eyes to plainest facts; and by the mere inertia of Oblivion and Stupidity, live at ease in the midst of Wonders and Terrors. But indeed man is, and was always, a blockhead and dullard; much readier to feel and digest, than to think and consider.”
― Thomas Carlyle, Sartor Resartus

“But remember that the Captain belongs to the most dangerous enemy to truth and freedom, the solid unmoving cattle of the majority. Oh, God, the terrible tyranny of the majority.”
― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
