Summing up political theory of pre- and post- WW2, esp. post-Cold War:

Pre-WW2 regimes strove to rule the people or peoples they had under their fief.

Post-WW2 regimes in the West strive to create the people they need for their system of rule to work.

I wonder if Brecht would be pleased, or dismayed that his famous words from Die Lösung now are no longer a joke or a sardonic observation of the nature of the totalist state:

"Some party hack decreed that the people

had lost the government's confidence

and could only regain it with redoubled effort.

If that is the case, would it not be simpler,

If the government simply dissolved the people

And elected another?"

eugenicism never went away and seems to be getting more and more entrenched in supra-national policies. which is bad. however, to somewhat lighten up this sunny sunday (Pentacost) a light-hearted description of the "thing" pronounced as monkeypox: "...Having borrowed asymptomatic transmission, compulsory testing, dubious PCR evangelism and inflated vaccine effectiveness claims from COVID-19, [monkeypox] now seems determined to establish itself as the next fashionable public health panic. No doubt we can soon expect calls for enhanced surveillance, emergency funding, behavioural restrictions and perhaps even socially distanced Pride marches - https://dailysceptic.org/2026/05/23/monkeypox-copies-the-covid-19-playbook/
