The eulogists of work.
Behind the glorification of 'work' and the tireless talk of the 'blessings of work' I find the same thought as behind the praise of impersonal activity for the public benefit: the fear of everything individual. At bottom, one now feels when confronted with work – and what is invariably meant is relentless industry from early till late – that such work is the best police, that it keeps everybody in harness and powerfully obstructs the development of reason, of covetousness, of the desire for independence. For it uses up a tremendous amount of nervous energy and takes it away from reflection, brooding, dreaming, worry, love, and hatred; it always sets a small goal before one's eyes and permits easy and regular satisfactions. In that way a society in which the members continually work hard will have more security: and security is now adored as the supreme goddess...

(as soon as the bomb was developed)

“If one awakens in men the idea of freedom then the free men will incessantly go on to free themselves; if, on the contrary, one only educates them, then they will at all times accommodate themselves to circumstances in the most highly educated and elegant manner and degenerate into subservient cringing souls. What are our gifted and educated subjects for the most part? Scornful, smiling slave-owners and themselves slaves.”

— Max Stirner, The False Principle of Our Education

Tankies' political positions make even less sense than conservatives'

“Whoever is a complete person does not need to be an authority.”

— Max Stirner, The False Principle of Our Education

“Today as always, people fall into two groups: slaves and free people. Whoever does not have two-thirds of their day for themself, is a slave, whatever they may be: a statesman, a businessman, an official, or a scholar.”

— Friedrich Nietzsche,
Human, All Too Human

The privileged are mostly stupid

“One will ask, but how will it be then, when the have-nots take courage? What sort of compensation is there to be then? One might as well ask that I cast a child's birth chart. To know what a slave will do once he has broken his chains, one must—await.”

„Die Wahrheit ist häßlich. Wir haben die Kunst, damit wir nicht an der Wahrheit zu Grunde gehen.“

“The truth [reality] is ugly. We have art so that we don't die of truth.”

— Friedrich Nietzsche,
Der Wille zur Macht (The Will to Power)

“What is to happen, though? Is social life to have an end, and all companionableness, all fraternization, everything that is created by the love or society principle, to disappear?

As if one will not always seek the other because he needs him; as if one must accommodate himself to the other when he needs him. But the difference is this, that then the individual really unites with the individual, while formerly they were bound together by a tie; son and father are bound together before majority, after it they can come together independently; before it they belonged together as members of the family, after it they unite as egoists; sonship and fatherhood remain, but son and father no longer pin themselves down to these.”

— Max Stirner, The Ego and Its Own

„Das absolute Wissen führt zum Pessimismus: die Kunst ist das Heilmittel dagegen.“

“Absolute knowledge leads to pessimism: art is the remedy for it.”
