Gazing at the Gorgon: How do we learn from history in Gaza and in the Holocaust?

[@GOBEF3]

Bravo Jeff ! & thanks, will read & revert ;)

[@theburningarchive]

Excellent!

[@Nopenotme1337]

Your end sentence saying that morals are not beyond the viewer are poignant. Morals are for the us commoners who have no power. For those in power morals are a thing used to justify war, explain failure and drive pointels debates on policy set in stone. Unfortunate reality that has been part of humanity since the beginning, it won't change until our end. Lovely stuff as usual, keep them comming.

Thank you!

We have no historical precedent for a live ongoing genocide that billions have already been exposed to. What does that mean for Western democracy? Would the reaction be the same if the holocaust was live-streamed the same way? It’s uncharted territory, and so far, the results have been insignificant.

I'm beginning to think that humanity is pretty much beyond redemption. Even Jesus can't save us, The only hope seems to be all good people should curb their religions and greed and adopt and cultivate pacifism . If people would only apply the principles that christians give lip service to but fail to follow then maybe we can have a future.

[@pablosmoglives]

Sin is the missing link. Jesus already saved us, but we have to accept Him as an act of conscious will. Otherwise, our default setting, clearly, has always been and will continue to be our undoing. Good luick.

[@Dan-yh4uz]

@@pablosmoglives you don't think that maybe after thousands of years of this not working that maybe this is not going to be the answer?

[@robm9113]

Yes, why don't we spend more time blaming ourselves for what is happening in Ukraine and Gaza, and at the same time why don't we take our focus off the politicians and power brokers who are directly responsible for the carnage? Yes, more sanctimonious navel gazing is what is required, and not looking at what and who is actually responsible for these situations. Yes... yes... what we need more of is deep philosophical pontification and more blaming of ourselves - this is the obvious solution! But as far as identifying and blaming those who are ACTUALLY responsible goes... it is a case of "nothing to see here". Implying that "WE” are all to blame sounds very sanctimonious, but it only causes those who ACTUALLY ARE to blame to blend into the background and become invisible. Excellent work.

Интересное наблюдение ! Я вижу проблему в очевидном ,очередном разделении , в данном случае - на "официально оформленных" ответственных за ЧТО-ЛИБО и , на тех - кто отдал СВОЮ ответственность Первой группе . "Мы - не виноваты : мы - выполняли приказ " - начинается снизу и , заканчивается наверху :"Мы - не виноваты : мы - исходили из интересов нации("демократии,свободы",бла-бла). Мы - не разделяем ответственность , мы - её Продаем Наверх , за ... свое спокойствие ...

@@Igor100year_old No. It appears that you don't understand the point of the argument, or you are just pretending that you don't understand the point of the argument. I'm not quite sure which one of those two possibilities it is, but I am sure it is one of those two. But either way, the answer is no.

2:10 We yearn for a savior in a demoralized global society in crisis. So many speak of World War Three as if the Cold War never ended. The Cold War’s ideological battle has yet to end. Communism failed, and capitalism is failing in every measurable metric. Did the Cold War truly end, or was it merely a rejection of industrialization?

Браво, Джефф ! Есть ли эта книга на русском языке ?

[@theburningarchive]

Нет. Итальянский но не английский.

Firstly, when you say “western intellectual culture has fallen into the abyss”, please explain that. I have my ideas on that, I want to hear yours. Examples would help. Secondly, I know you can do much better in that you ask umpteen hand-wringing questions and only in the last minute share your view more clearly, albeit with photos rather than the extensive text-based commentary and book references of which I yearn as a resident in Australia and of which you are eminently capable of providing. So that’s a request, for you to speak your mind openly and fulsomely, with book references on my two points. The Gaza Genocide requires it of all of us. Still, thank you for this introductory video.

[@cyberpunkalphamale]

I feel you but I think the ending could easily be reversed by reading something like Einet Wilf's book The War of Return or listening to some of her talks. She would say the the filter works in the other direction, as expressed by concepts she uses like "Westplaining", etc. I feel similarly about Ukraine, because there is a major nationalistic element in the Putinite space, erasing the national identities of other cultures like Georgia and Ukraine, the Russian military's behavior in Syria, the seeming inability to tell the truth about Euromaidan. I refer to books like Ukraine’s Maidan, Russia’s War by Mychailo Wynnyckyj, which was published before the invasion.

I'm neither pro this nor that, and when i see what's happening in Palestine, i feel nothing. And i think that is ok , i just don't care. I have enough problems of my own.
