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).
