There is [[nothing]] more ethically repulsive than the [[idea]] that, beneath the surface of differences, we all share the same kernel of humanity, of [[human]] weaknesses, hopes and pleasures. Against this fake [[humanist]] [[notion]] of ‘solidarity’, one should ruthlessly assert the Platonic core of [[ethical]] [[violence]] articulated in a most pointed way, as one may expect, by [[Brecht]] in one of his stories [[about]] Herr Keuner: ‘Herr K. was asked: “What do you do when you [[love]] [[another]] man?” “I make myself a [[sketch]] of him,” said Herr K., “and I take care about the likeness.” “Of the sketch?” “No,” said Herr K., “of the man”.’ (Brecht 1995, p. 24).
