Ugg Shearling Backpack

Hannah Arendt famously used the phrase "the banality of evil" in her description of Nazi genocide in World War Two. Most of us have come to associate this phrase with platitudes like "at least the fascists made the trains run on time." However, "banal" was not meant to position these actions as workaday.

Rather it is meant to contest the prevalent depictions of the Nazi's inexplicable atrocities as having emanated from a malevolent will to do evil, a delight in murder. As far as Arendt could discern, Eichmann came to his willing involvement with the program of genocide through a failure or absence of the faculties of sound thinking and judgment.

We feel like this distinction may be critical to understanding the sheer banality of this Ugg Shearling Backpack available at Victoria's Secret. It isn't evil or even a terrible idea. It simply came about through a lack of sound thinking. And the fact that it continues to be purchased compounds that lack of judgment.
