"Antonio Gramsci had been right: in the ruins of the Old World, "morbid symptoms" had appeared. The people of the Great War's aftermath found themselves in the time of monsters, and the monsters filled their screens. This had desensitized them to the real monsters that emerged among them."

Quote from the book Wasteland by W. Scott Poole

This passage is in context to an explanation of the psychology about how the Germans fell into a f*scist state by the accounts of Siegfried Kracaur, who believed the Germans were exposed to political ideas through cinema.

He wrote the book "From Caligari to Hitler: A Psychological History of Herman Film," which he goes into detail about the idea/theory that movies are reflections on culture.

The Great War set the stage for F*scism; It dug its teeth into our culture, and we grew numb to the pain.
