“The idea that after this war life will continue 'normally' or even that culture might be 'rebuilt - as if the rebuilding of culture were not already its negation - is idiotic. Millions of Jews have been murdered, and this is to be seen as an interlude and not the catastrophe itself. What more is this culture waiting for? And even if countless people still have time to wait, is it conceivable that what happened in Europe will have no consequences, that the quantity of victims will not be transformed into a new quality of society at large, barbarism? As long as blow is followed by counter-blow, catastrophe is perpetuated. One need only think of revenge for the murdered. If as many of the others are killed, horror will be institutionalized and the pre-capitalist pattern of vendettas, confined from time immemorial to remote mountainous regions, will be re-introduced in extended form, with whole nations as the sub-jectless subjects. If, however, the dead are not avenged and mercy is exercised, Fascism will despite everything get away with its victory scot-free, and, having once been shown so easy, will be continued elsewhere. The logic of history is as destructive as the people that it brings to prominence: wherever its momentum carries it, it reproduces equivalents of past calamity. Normality is death.”
Adorno, ‘Out of the firing-line’ (Autumn 1944) from Minima Moralia
I thought that once the Dahmer shit calmed down Evan might eventually have a safe space to be online somewhere and maybe interact with fans more again, but now with Natalie….yall need to stop. He’s a grown man and A-List celebrity. He is not going to date you. You don’t have a chance. He cannot be single forever just because you want him to. That’s unfair to him and you’re not a real fan if you want that, you’re a deranged stalker.
While I’m also a little delulu and jealous of them, I would never harass Evan or the people he choses to date because of that. Because I can accept reality. It’s time to grow up and let the man be happy, he’s gone through enough in his life and he genuinely seems happy now.
