The SS rejected any task or value existing for its own sake

Evidence

The watchword of the SS as formulated by Himmler himself begins with the words: “There is no task that exists for its own sake.” See Gunter d’Alquen, “Die SS,” in Schriften der Hochschule für Politik, 1939. The pamphlets issued by the SS solely for internal consumption emphasize time and again “the absolute necessity for understanding the futility of everything that is an end in itself” (see Der Reichsführer SS und Chef der deutschen Polizei, undated, “only for internal use within the police”). — Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism, 2570

Categorization

• XREF: A key definitional marker of the totalitarian mindset — instrumentalization of all ends — that the reader can carry into the Islamophobia field’s analysis of exclusionary logics.
• QUESTION: How does this rejection of intrinsic value relate to Arendt’s broader argument about totalitarian ideology dissolving all fixed moral or natural categories?
