"From the MEDAL OF HONOR CITATION
2d Lt. Murphy commanded Company B, which was attacked by 6 tanks and waves of infantry. Murphy ordered his men to withdraw while he remained forward to give fire directions to the artillery. Murphy climbed on a burning tank destroyer, using its .50 caliber machinegun. Alone and exposed to German fire from 3 sides, he caused their infantry attack to waver. He received a leg wound, but continued until his ammunition was exhausted. Refusing medical attention, he led his company in a counterattack that forced the Germans to withdraw.
"I'm sorry, Audie. I'm sorry!"

Context "This sounds like a loose paraphrase of the sense of Daybreak aph. 329 (see also the first half of aph. 542, and the parallel passage in Genealogy of Morals). The necessity of illusions is also the major theme of 'Truth and Lie'. I agree with the earlier comment that, if it has any relation to a particular passage at all, it is a bad paraphrase! It's hard to explain exactly but if you even just skim the relevant passages in Morgenröthe or 'Truth and Lie' you'll see that when he's discussing the sturdiness of illusions he is often discussing the important functions they serve and when he is discussing the pursuit of truth he is often treating it as the product of illusions!

On the surface Douglass does appear to be self-made -- he was the escaped slave who willed his own freedom, stole the master's language and wrote masterpieces of antislavery literature. But without many people, especially women (his grandmother, two wives, a daughter and countless abolitionist women who supported his career) as well as male mentors, both white and black, he would not have survived and become Douglass. In private, he easily admitted his reliance on friends and associates, and he believed in a theory of history rooted in the Old Testament, in the Exodus story, in collective liberation by God and by events. In 'Self-Made Man,' a new book published by the Cato Institute, the lawyer Timothy Sandefur argues that Douglass's essential legacy lies in his advocacy of liberty, individualism and private property and free enterprise. The radical abolitionist who risked all to use words and politics to free an entire people from slavery was, to Mr. Sandefur, only 'a radical for individualism' and never concerned with 'the interests of the collective.' To believe that, one has to ignore most of Douglass's career, especially his life as an abolitionist, his ferocious attacks on the poison of racism and his brilliant analysis of how lynching emerged from the evils of white supremacy. Douglass believed that freedom was safe only within the state and under law. Douglass did preach self-reliance for his fellow blacks: He argued that the freed slaves should be given their rights, protected and then 'let alone.' But he never employed that 'let alone' dictum without also demanding 'fair play,' and security against terror and discrimination.

#WebsiteHuffPostAmandaTerkel "In his 10-minute speech to the conservative Heritage Foundation in Washington on Thursday, Scott kept saying the word 'woke' in that same cringeworthy way some people are still using 'da bomb.' (You know who you are.) 'Americans in flyover country have had absolutely enough of this woke elitist nonsense.' 'The woke left wants all of that gone. They want to end the American experiment. They want to replace freedom with control.' 'Democrats know they can't win with their crazy woke ideas.' 'They're going to say I'm not woke enough, and I'm not serious.' For what it's worth, no one is going to say Scott is not woke enough, because anyone who could be considered woke - i.e., someone who cares about injustice and inequality - likely isn't using that word anymore. But indeed, Scott might face some questions about how serious he is."

Captain America learns that HYDRA has corrupted SHIELD, that bastions of American freedom have been infiltrated by fascist extremists. Thanos seeks ultimate population control as a means of balancing resources. So many of these films speak not just to disrupters with arch plans but how they expose the frailty of government or democratic systems in their disruption, sometimes even working within them. This also could explain the 'lone hero' trope that has taken hold in recent years to a more intense degree. McClane, John Matrix, John Rambo were all lone heroes, but as an audience, you never doubted they would prevail. They existed within a cathartic, controlled and safe geopolitical sandbox either during the end of the Cold War or the unipolar security of the United States. After 9/11, it all started to change.

Addendum postmodernism's focus on contingency leads you towards infinite variation i.e. the a priori of the uniquely differentiated individual (where identity is the only commonality). Paradoxically, this is in contradiction with a social-conservative position, which is simultaneously centred around the a priori individualism and the a priori of shared values albeit ones, which are fixed and necessarily unchallengeable (because of their supposed absolute certainty/truth) e.g. 'family values', 'Christian belief' etc. The problem then for social-conservatives is not postmodernism's centring on the individual but in its attacks of what is understood to be sacred/sacrosanct - in short, *tradition*. #TheoryPostmodernContingency #TheoryIndividualismSelfActualisation #PoliticsConservatismTraditionalist #PleaAWorldOfSimpleStableFixedOperations #NarrativeValuesFamily And: #EDUCAMcGillUniversityInternationalReviewMIR https://www.mironline.ca/what-is-post-modern-conservatism/ And? http://politicalcritique.org/world/2018/post-modern-conservatism-or-how-the-right-became-what-it-hated/
