Hannah “forced desegregation is totalitarianism” Arendt

[–] Maturin@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That first article is about as terrible as one comes to expect from the Jerusalem post. I’m not saying there isn’t much to criticize in Arendt’s writings (particularly if your criticism comes from the left) but a Zionist spin article about a prominent anti-Zionist Jewish political scientist (who did admiral work pointing out the Zionist connections to the Nazi death machine) falls pretty flat. And it follows such a traditional Zionist pattern: have you considered that this anti-Zionist Jew is the real racist and this we should not pay attention when she reports on Eichmann’s warm and collaborative relationship with the Zionist partisans that formed the political core of the colony?

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Noted. Any thoughts on the second article?

[–] Maturin@hexbear.net 5 points 23 hours ago

Much more nuanced. Doesn’t hit it square on the nose by saying “she was, at base, a liberal bourgeois academic who never fully opened her eyes to it even after nearly being ground in the gears of that system” but basically hints at that. The end of that one even says that you should read her despite her, shall we say, banal liberal racism/orientalism (including, famously, against poor, Eastern European Jews). But the context helps to understand when she is making valid observations and decent (and sometimes controversial) insights and when she misses the mark because of her prejudices.

Much like her book title, I refer to the hit 1934 song by Cole Porter "Anything goes" in this list.

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 35 points 1 day ago

The Wave is kind of dumb, but from what I've heard the worst thing about it is that it kind of papers over the whole "mass child abuse" thing. Now, that might seem like a low bar, but there's a German Netflix film, "Wir sind die Welle" ("We are the Wave"), which uses the name but really doesn't share any similarity at all except that its about students becoming fixated on their clique of what they view as radical politics. Here's the thing: In "The Wave," just like in the original Third Wave "experiment," it's really explicitly about fascism, Nazism most especially. In the German Netflix caricature, the students are all progressives who are either direct victims of things like racial/gender discrimination or are concerned about the environment or war-profiteering, and the antagonist is a student who wants to blow up some facility belonging to an arms dealer who is illegally running guns to [I think it's implied to be Sudan?], before the other student leader thwarts the plot and defeats the arms dealer peacefully.

How fucking audacious do you need to be as Germans to take a story that is [purportedly] about Nazism and elements leading to its popularization, and then make it into a screed against radical progressives? You're literally the last country in the world with any right to do such a thing, and I'm even including America in that list, because your whole thing is "being an Ally" in the now-common craven liberal fashion, but on the level of an entire nation-state. I know their true "whole thing" is financial imperialism, but I mean their whole thing in terms of their cultural posture.
