Im Kopf von ... Robert Misik

Description

«The incited individual does not fall from the sky. It is made. It undergoes apprenticeships in inhumanity.» In Bertolt Brecht's play Mann ist Mann from 1926, it is tested how people can be arbitrarily shaped along with their attitudes. The worker Galy Gay is transformed into a soulless combat machine within a week. Robert Misik examines the mass psychology of the new fascism in Education for Cruelty. The incited individual does not fall from the sky. It is made. The agitation fuels anger, feelings of bitterness, aims to turn its followers into fully paranoid characters, nurtures a cult of hardness, joy in meanness, fantasies about all kinds of cruelties inflicted on others...
