"Historian Hannah Arendt's banality of evil, from her book Eichmann in Jerusalem (1963), shattered the comforting illusion that only fanatics commit great crimes. Watching Adolf Eichmann's trial, she saw not a monster, but a dull bureaucrat obedient, career-driven, and chillingly thoughtless. His evil wasn't ideological rage but blind conformity, a cog in a system that made atrocities routine. Arendt's horror was realizing that authoritarian regimes don't just rely on radicals; they thrive on ordinary people mindlessly enforcing evil, making malevolence disturbingly mundane." Jeff Childers
