[THS] Bring Polanski to Justice

Re: Bring Polanski to Justice

Readers may wonder why I sent out that nastiness from the Washington Post Writers Group. Precisely for that - the heart of fascism exposes itself. Nietsche said,

They resemble inspired men: but it is not the heart that inspires them—it is revenge. And when they become refined and cold, it is not their mind, it is their envy that makes them refined and cold...
Revenge rings in all their complaints, a malevolence is in all their praise; and to be judge seems bliss to them.
Thus, however, I advise you my friends: Mistrust all in whom the urge to punish is strong!
They are people of a bad breed and a bad descent; the executioner and the bloodhound peer from out their faces.
Mistrust all those who talk much about their justice! Truly, it is not only honey that their souls lack.
And when they call themselves 'the good and just', do not forget that nothing is lacking to make them into Pharisees except—power!
