Hannah Arendt on PBS a Must Watch

The documentary on Hannah Arendt details her analysis of the stages of autocracy.
It is so on point with what is going on now. She escaped from Hitler then arrives
here and sees what's going on in the McCarthy era which is hauntingly similar to
current events. Controlling the media, hiring imbeciles to run the government, etc.

We must gather our wits and come out fighting. NOW
