Excerpt from Howl by Allen Ginsberg , 1955-56 What sphinx of cement and aluminium bashed open          their skulls and ate up their brains and imagi-         nation?  Moloch! Solitude! Filth! Ugliness! Ashcans and unob         tainable dollars! Children screaming under the          stairways! Boys sobbing in armies! Old men          weeping in the parks!  Moloch! Moloch! Nightmare of Moloch! Moloch the          loveless! Mental Moloch! Moloch the heavy          judger of men!  Moloch the incomprehensible prison! Moloch the          crossbone soulless jailhouse and Congress of          sorrows! Moloch whose buildings are judgment!          Moloch the vast stone of war!

Some Iranian critics question whether international audiences reward films that challenge or reinforce Orientalist views of Iran.

In Germany, the far-right, anti-immigration party  Alternative for Germany (AfD)  routinely achieves its most substantial electoral victories in rural, remote, and economically marginalised areas—particularly in the former  East Germany —where the actual percentage of foreign-born residents and immigrants is exceptionally low.  This trend was starkly illustrated by the AfD's historic landslide victory in the eastern state of  Saxony-Anhalt , a region with a very low proportion of foreigners. In November 2019 Gareth Dale provided a background .

“ The reason for this development is a deep economic and political crisis, to which the established parties have no answers.” By Leandros Fisher 07 September 2026 The fact that the AfD can win a state election is not new. Already in 2024, the party led by Björn Höcke was far ahead of all other parties. The difference to Saxony-Anhalt: in 2024, it was still possible for the majority without the AfD.

It has converted life into a degrading race for externals, for possession, for social prestige and supremacy. Its highest wisdom is “the devil take the hindmost.” This “rugged individualism” has inevitably resulted in the greatest modern slavery, the crassest class distinctions, driving millions to the breadline. “Rugged individualism” has meant all the “individualism” for the masters, while the people are regimented into a slave cas...
