all the odds

 

Guan Liang | Weimar, Germany, 1940


Reader comments on Bradshaw's Cabaret review in The Guardian:


~~ Great comment.  I remember seeing the film in the seventies and both being horrified by that image and thinking:  "well, at least THAT can never happen again,"  and now it is happening again.  I was much happier when evil was in Berlin in the '40s than Russia today.


~~ "I was much happier when evil was in Berlin in the 40s than Russia today."

The echoes of the 1930s have been growing over the last few years.  The USA was, and is again, in danger of being subverted from within to a conservative authoritarian ethos.


~~ The supporters of such people fall into two camps.

1) Those whose personal identity becomes totally dependent on the myth that is being promoted.

2) Those who cynically think they can benefit in some way - and believe they can control the outcome.
