1125: Michael Rectenwald – Totalitarian Moral Arrogance & Lack of Humility

The primary characteristic of totalitarian ideologues is essentially moral arrogance, a complete lack of moral humility, and the certain conviction that they themselves are justice incarnate. They thus believe that they are completely justified to exert their will to achieve their desired ends 'by any means necessary'. Such ideologues rejoiced when God was declared 'dead', as such, because now they could assume the authority of God for themselves. —Michael Rectenwald (Springtime for Snowflakes)Download Print Quality (3840×2010) 3.94MB  |  Normal Quality (1920×1005) 215KB
