Get Out and Arendt’s Banality of Evil

Peele’s Get Out and The Banality of Evil: This video explores how Jordan Peele’s Get Out highlights America’s systemic white supremacy through use of Hannah Arendt’s concept of the banality of evil. Introduced in Arendt’s book Eichmann in Jerusalem, the banality of evil shares a common approach with Peele’s Get Out, showing how systemic oppression is carried out by those who feel they’ve done nothing wrong.

1) This video is criminally under viewed and under “liked.” Will share. 2) I first heard about “the banality of evil” about a week ago, when I came upon a great KZbin channel called Like Stories of Old (L.S.O.O.) I was about to say “now I’m hearing about it a week later, what a coincidence” but then I remembered…The Algorithm. Duh. 3) Jordan Peele’s US was incredible too. Anyone reading this check it out if you haven’t already! Great vid!

Thanks so much for the kind words! I think I’ve said this elsewhere but this is my favorite of the videos I’ve done and I am similarly bummed that it’s so under-viewed 😂 Thanks again for the kind words and I’m so glad you enjoyed it! More videos on the way!

well said... it's arduous to notice any harm in today's banality of evil. That's why it's banal...

This is a really in-depth study of the film, thank you. Far more interesting than clickbait style youtube film crap

Thanks for the kind words! Glad you liked it

[@Ratnamrecommend]

Thank you so much! I feel this is the best video I’ve made, but it hasn’t gotten much attention, so I really appreciate the kind words. Glad you enjoyed it.
