As a white male, I feel the term "whiteness" has a strong racist/othering tone but I fully support the right of anyone to use this word. I have a very sincere commitment to defending the First Amendment.

Bernstein conviently forgets Arendt writing about the people who-at risk of death for their families if found out-hid jews from the nazis!
@robertburatt5981 2 ай бұрын
Bernstein showed himself to be an academician all the way. And from what I remember reading, Arendt was deeply concerned not simply with lying in politics-but CRIMINALITY entering politics (particularly in america).

Poor bernstein! The criticism of some-if not most(?) of the Jewish councils-must be softened to not "offend" the feelings of the remaining survivors! What about all the time the German jews had to see the likely direction hitler and German society was heading and at least try to get out--but refused to believe that there were plans for their annhilation. Do we not today see the warning signs with america and the likely direction america-and with it the World-and all life on Earth is heading????

If Harari really says that "you are going to be creating 'New Gods'" (14:22min) let me point out that it was actually Nietzsche who said this first!

This is a brilliant discussion. Thanks to both of you! And Stefan, I think a lot like you on these matters. Folks who are at the peripheries of a lot of these varied discourses of Humanisms -- the postcolonial cultures -- who may go in very different directions when encountered with the ideas of "prehistory."

It was so interesting listening to this interview from a month ago. I do think what Harris/Waltz is doing right now is emotional re-education. Hopefully it will start reaching the base. It is already reaching the independents and moderate Republicans. I have hope again.

Hey, A lively video🙌! I'm not really sure if it is the best time to ask but, I was wondering if I could help you create a better distribution by working on post-production like better storytelling through Edits, Keywords, think catchy intros and outros, or even some engaging short clips! Would love to chat if you're interested and keep creating good content:)

Try as he might, Donald Trump can't blur the hard reality he forced upon American women. He vowed in 2016 to get rid of Roe v. Wade and succeeded. As a result, American women lost a half-century right to end an unwanted or dangerous pregnancy. Who ever thought an American bleeding out from a disastrous pregnancy would have to be flown to safety in her own country? Politicians have no place in our reproductive health care decisions. None.

Democracy? Other forms of government are worse. Trump will implement Project 2025, the Fascist authoritarian agenda of the super rich and ultra-right wing Catholics. They want to eliminate the Department of Education, cut Social Security and Medicare; they intend to establish a Paternalistic white Christian nation. This means racism and Fascism are the order of the day. Trump personally will mine the nation for all the money he can loot, like Putin in Russia. Most of his promises will mot ne kept, except to cut the taxes of the rich. The middle class will languish. The poor will starve.

My siblings who are Trumpist Fundamentalist Christians may recognize Trump’s imperfections but their ultimate goal is to install a theocracy which is the aim of Project 2025. They fail to realize how extreme a theocratic state may become because it will be framed by the quality and aims of the leaders. Those in power often change and become endeared to all of that power which then changes them.

The most existential threat to democracy besides Donald Trump Is The Heritage Foundation Project 2025. The threat of these two dastardly entities will place the entire world at risk. Donald Trump touts a divisive campus of ignorance and hate. Donald Trump cannot be trusted again as president. We're still living those residuals... This is a dangerously-lethal combination: Donald Trump + The Heritage Foundation Project 2025 + MAGA-morons = an authoritarian hell which will touch the entire world! VOTE BLUE AND CONTINUE TO VOTE BLUE💙 until we have successfully voted MAGA extremism and Donald Trump out and into the cesspool where they belong - 💙💙💙💙💙

Hannah Aren't in her books on the rise of totalitarianism seems to have a much better grasp on that subject than you. You seem to conveniently look away from the inherent totalitarianism baked in to the DNA of leftist political organs. The democrat party owned and operated the plantation system of the old south. They created the chattel caste which has become a multi-Generational curse for many. The managerial caste is prolific with psychotic manipulation exhibitionism also prevalent in the democrat left. They have become the home of that managerial class and modern plantation mentalities elites.

You’re making the mistake lots of far-right conspiracy theorists today make in assuming US political parties have always had distinctive, consistent politics over their history. Both main parties have switched back and forth across both side of the political spectrum repeatedly. You can tell who is the more racist, Conservative party at any given time by looking at who black voters predominantly vote for. Right now they vote Dem because they’re far less racist. Another thing you lot do is to play the ‘both sides have extremists’ card. The Democratic Party is currently a pro-democracy coalition ranging from the left to centre-right. The Republican Party is an explicitly authoritarian, far right party that, on policy and rhetoric, lines up not with conservative parties in other free, democratic nations, but with Neo Fascist parties in places like Russia, Hungary, Poland, Turkey, etc. Moderate conservatives like Ben-Ghiat, Anne Applebaum and others focus primarily on the threat from the right because that’s where the threat of violence and authoritarianism today primarily comes from. Arendt would’ve seen you as the fascism enabler you are. She pointed out how much the far right use projection, calling their enemies what they themselves are, as you have done.

I am reading Ned Blackhawk's The Rediscovery of America: Native Peoples and the Unmaking of U.S. History. He mentions Jane Johnson Schoolcraft creating the term Native Inland Sea, that was then used by James Fenimore Cooper in his book title, The Pathfinder: The Inland Sea. I'm exploring both writers and am happy to discover this podcast as a first step in learning more about Ms. Schoolcraft and her poetry

Ulrich Baer - I find it interesting that you named this large series, "Free Speech." I read in your bio, this: "deepens his widely debated defense of the university’s right and obligation to arbitrate discourse (rather than surrender to an absolutist, anything-goes approach to speech) he first made in 2017 in The New York Times." - this sounds a bit not-so-free speech like Ulrich. Is this a case of another leftist using deceptive language, to disguise the true nature of their radical ideology? Whatever the case, the contradiction between the titles of your videos, and the contradictory viewpoint as revealed in your bio, is confusing and suspect.
