Man is repeatedly equated with environmental, legal, religious, cultural, and historical forces through dense, associative metaphors. Fascism, genocide, and institutional power recur as measuring points for masculine identity and culpability. Historical figures and events—Ehrenburg, Stalin, Hitler, Treblinka, Dresden—anchor a geography of atrocity that maps onto contemporary names and institutions. Personal erotic imagery and bodily traces intersect with warnings about catastrophe and attraction to disaster. Accusation and indictment of institutional hypocrisy and selective memory run through the lines. The language collapses scale from global genocides to individual names and reserve lists, binding private vulnerability to public violence.
