"Of course I do not defend political crimes. It is repulsive to me by tradition, by sentiment, and even by reflection. But some of these men struggled for an idea, openly, in the light of the day and sacrificed to it all, that to most men makes life worth living...harsh words are useless because they cannot combat ideas. And the ideas, that live, should be combatted, not the men who die."

We are not exhausted enough to be really tired, and there are too many antagonisms to narrow it down to the one that makes the whole thing tick. In the face of it all - this not-being tired, this buzzing distraction - our faces go slack, and things are opaque and do not reflect. Such is slow-mo doom.
Ah! slow-mo doom, reminds me of my walk home yesterday against gust of wind, 74 km/h, dodging and ducking from thick posters of smily irish candidates, not in office yet but ready to chop some heads.
I think from what you wrote, the most terrifying is this buzzing distraction...
