Here's a clip of Charlie Chaplin's final speech in the Great Dictator. I found it deeply moving and will be watching the full movie shortly. Chaplin describes with great emotion the state of the ponerized world. He uses Hitler's style of building a speech to climax but uses instead a message for humanity. It was most notable that he saw the 'great dictators' not as humans, but as 'unnatural men, machine men with machine minds and machine hearts.'
The video link I include below is also moving in how in the lack of understanding of ponerology can take on an infected worldview. The clip was remade into an interpretation of a 'broken dream of humanity'.
The videographer wrote:
"This video is the broken dream I have. The reason why everything is shifty and broken is because Chaplin's dream is broken for me. It is my secret dream, as a left-libertarian, a complete free society. It's utopian, but I am deeply skeptical about whether we have "the love of humanity in our hearts" as Chaplin says. I believe people are dirty and unloveable. Greed doesn't poison mens' souls--they are already poisoned. Chaplin's dream may be assumed broken before it has even been dreamt. Paradoxically we still must fight for our freedom despite our unbearable natures."

I sent the videographer some info about ponerology but I'm not sure if it was helpful.
