  1. "In his #novel #AFoolsKabbalah, #SteveStern #writes in a manic whirl of disturbing and hilarious images as he follows the great historian of #Jewish #mysticism #GershomScholem on his journey to gather up the remains of a vanished civilization."

    "Steve #Stern’s new novel, A Fool’s #Kabbalah, is a #comedy about #tragedy and a tragedy about comedy. It is a #mystical #fable of real events and a realistic account of mysticism. There are Jewish #jokes and Jewish jokesters and #Nazis who torture and kill the jokesters. #Kafka, Kabbalah, #Zionism, and the #shtetl of #Zyldzce (pronounced, perhaps, as “zilch”); #WalterBenjamin, #HannahArendt, love for a #rabbi’s beautiful daughter, and an #occult midnight marriage to an unearthly albino girl in a white gauze dress; shit jokes, fart jokes, raw misery, deep #philosophy, brutal #history and brutal #fantasy, broken hearts and heartfelt joy—these exuberantly disparate topics are somehow, improbably, made to cohere."

    Das ist der Schlag, der den Rechten besonders lieb ist: #Eichmann war auch nur ein braver Bürokrat. und als eine jüdische Philosophin das aussprach, und #HeinerKipphadt ein Theaterstück in den #Kammerspielen #München inszenierte: "Bruder Eichmann", war der Teufel los, und die Philosophin seitdem in jüdischen Kreisen verfemt, weil mann ja einen "Täter" hängen musste, statt die Hintergründe mit ihm aufzuklären ... #HannahArendt: Denken ist gefährlich! #Faschismen

  11. A quotation from Hannah Arendt

    Popular revolt against materially strong rulers, on the other hand, may engender an almost irresistible power even if it foregoes the use of violence in the face of materially vastly superior forces. To call this “passive resistance” is certainly an ironic idea; it is one of the most active and efficient ways of action ever devised, because it cannot be countered by fighting, where there may be defeat or victory, but only by mass slaughter in which even the victor is defeated, cheated of his prize, since nobody can rule over dead men.

    Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist

  15. A quotation from Hannah Arendt

    Without being forgiven, released from the consequences of what we have done, our capacity to act would, as it were, be confined to one single deed from which we could never recover; we would remain the victims of its consequences forever, not unlike the sorcerer’s apprentice who lacks the magic formula to break the spell.

  16. A quotation from Hannah Arendt

    Without being bound to the fulfillment of promises, we would never be able to keep our identities; we would be condemned to wander helplessly and without direction in the darkness of each man’s lonely heart, caught in its contradictions and equivocalities — a darkness which only the light shed over the public realm through the presence of others, who confirm the identity between the one who promises and the one who fulfills, can dispel.

  17. @SteveThompson I'm beginning to think that in a few years time, there'll be some trials involving ICE agents and others that will have the same influence on our thinking that the Nuremburg trials have had.

    Who will be the new #HannahArendt to reflect on that?

  18. A quotation from Hannah Arendt

    The aim of totalitarian education has never been to instill convictions but to destroy the capacity to form any.

    Es passt so gut, - der Untertanengeist, die verbeulten Seelen, der Narzissmus, das Sich-selbst-in-die-Tasche-Lügen - dass es zum Heulen ist.

    Wie konnte in den vermeintlich freiesten Ländern der Welt solch eine Feigheit entstehen? (Kann das vielleicht das @HAIT_TUD erklären?)

    (Oh ja und es ist blöd, dass die Frau vom Ritter gerettet wird, aber das Stück ist von 1943.)

  25. A quotation from Hannah Arendt

       To sound off with a cheerful “give me liberty or give me death” sort of argument in the face of the unprecedented and inconceivable potential of destruction in nuclear warfare is not even hollow; it is downright ridiculous. Indeed it seems so obvious that it is a very different thing to risk one’s own life for the life and freedom of one’s country and one’s posterity from risking the very existence of the human species for the same purpose that it is difficult not to suspect the defenders of the “better dead than red” or “better death than slavery” slogans of bad faith.
       Which of course is not to say the reverse, “better red than dead,” has any more to recommend itself; when an old truth ceases to be applicable, it does not become any truer by being stood on its head.
       As a matter of fact, to the extent that the discussion of the war question today is conducted in these terms, it is easy to detect a mental reservation on both sides. Those who say “better dead than red” actually think: The losses may not be as great as some anticipate, our civilization will survive; while those who say “better red than dead” actually think: Slavery will not be so bad, man will not change his nature, freedom will not vanish from the earth forever. In other words, the bad faith of the discussants lies in that both dodge the preposterous alternative they themselves have proposed; they are not serious.

    Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
    On Revolution, Introduction (1963)
