The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.

I studied Dante extensively and will always remember the many levels of Inferno and also Paradiso.

I am able to just think about it and wave my hands it just happens. I'm sending a strong delusion to Donald Trump and Elon Musk and Steven Miller so they will.

If malicious intent and negligence (which includes failure to act) result in the same damages I struggle to see how they are not both looked at equally

Starting to believe hell is something we tell ourselves exists to make us feel that these evil people will face justice someday since they slither out of it in life.

I dont take solace in some fictitious torture realm. Bible says it is easier for a camel to go thru the eye of the needle than a rich dude to go to heaven, but that doesnt stop any of the so called christians to be greedy....I wont curse...so you know they dont give af. I want justice and action now

It is aggravating when a congressperson voices their "concern" about a thing, but then, doesn't vote that way. I'm not naming names, but we all have our candidates in mind.

In 1915 Theodore Roosevelt accurately wrote that Dante had “reserved a special place of infamy” for neutral angels. In 1917 a religious orator named W. M. Vines incorrectly stated that Dante had placed neutral individuals “in the lowest place in hell”.

The worst place - actually being chewed on by Satan - is reserved for those who betrayed their benefactors. Satan has three mouths, which chew constantly on the bodies of Brutus, Cassius and Judas.

OMG, I was thinking the exact same thing earlier today. I was fortunate to take an entire semester on Dante in college. The Inferno is a good handbook for these times.

What level of hell are we in today?

reply

rock-rex.bsky.social•1 day ago

But then you should know that this isn't a quotation from Dante -- and that it contradicts what he does say.

reply

jlgoldenberg.bsky.social•1 day ago

So, I Googled this, and found a fascinating article about the creation of this pseudo-Dante quote (for political reasons!). Now I want to reread the Inferno, still seems apt for our times.

reply

rock-rex.bsky.social•1 day ago

Definitely -- up to and including climate change...

reply

jlgoldenberg.bsky.social•1 day ago

Well, it's been awhile since I took that class. So, what does he actually say?
