Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil (Penguin Classics)
Comments:
i wish people, before they commented on really really serious things, did a bit of reflection.
> effectively not driven by individuals whatsoever
the agency of individuals in totalitarian/authoritarian institutions has been examined/analyzed/written about at enormous length since the rise of fascism in the early 1900s. the short answer is you're wrong but i'm not going to try to convince you (you have to want to learn to be receptive). instead i recommend a book:

> how even a system full of good intentions
you're just proving all of my points - you just can't fathom that the laws really were written with immoral intentions because "the law" is sacrosanct for you.
i note again: the 13th amendment abolished slavery except for in prisons. it's written explicitly in section 1 (no bad faith interpretation needed). please discuss for me the "good intentions" therein.
