First Graders. They're snatching First Graders in Unmarked cars.

Yes, the chief that ran uncontested for 15 years until the most recent vote wherein there were three write-in challengers, won with 45% of the votes.

Wait until people start looking into how and why mobs were originally formed in the 1920's. Police are selfish, opportunistic thugs in any age. Sometimes communities need to create their own police force to save themselves from the cops.

Everyone talks like they're Liam Neeson from 'Taken' but the reality is no schools or ICE facilities were burned down by any parent or member of the community who's children were abducted by unidentified feds. The government aren't afraid because people like you blow hot air all day but they call your bluff over and over and win every time, I see a lot of talk but only two examples of somebody ante-ing up and doing something about it, and one of them missed by centimeters.

I'm up in Merced, the kids got out last week, and that's actually kinda late for the central valley. It's probably different for you guys because SoCal is physically closer to hell, whereas the central valley is spiritually closer to it.

Ty. Saving this advice for sooner rather than later.

The romantic choices of many of us between the ages of 18-21 (her age during their actual affair) probably don't bear scrutiny.

I'm not scrutinizing her for any choices between 18 and 21.

This was a lifelong relationship, Hannah herself reached out and continued writing letters in his defense from the 1950s to her death.

An ex who later became a nazi (and then recanted) is probably an excellent example of how quotidian these kinds of evils can be.

Ex? No.

Recanted? They denied he had any nazi sympathy and claimed it was all a mistake

Later, in a 1969 birthday tribute essay “Martin Heidegger at Eighty,” Arendt penned what has generally been taken as an exoneration of Heidegger. In it, she “compared Heidegger to Thales,” writes Gordon, “the ancient philosopher who grew so absorbed in contemplating the heavens that he stumbled into the well at his feet.”

This was the accepted view of Heidegger until 2014 when the black notebooks came out

But major Heidegger scholars have responded in a variety of ways—including resigning a chairship of the Martin Heidegger Society—that suggest the worst. According to Daily Nous, a website about the philosophy profession, when Günter Figal resigned his position in January as chair of the Martin Heidegger Society, he said:

As chairman of a society, which is named after a person, one is in certain way a representative of that person. After reading the Schwarze Hefte [Black Notebooks], especially the antisemitic passages, I do not wish to be such a representative any longer. These statements have not only shocked me, but have turned me around to such an extent that it has become difficult to be a co-representative of this.

Hannah defends him as just so focused on high philosophy he never noticed the antisemitism

Recalls Adam Kirsch in the Times:

The seal was set on his absolution by Hannah Arendt, in a birthday address broadcast on West German radio. Heidegger’s Nazism, she explained, was an “escapade,” a mistake, which happened only because the thinker naïvely “succumbed to the temptation … to ‘intervene’ in the world of human affairs.” The moral to be drawn from the Heidegger case was that “the thinking ‘I’ is entirely different from the self of consciousness,” so that Heidegger’s thought cannot be contaminated by the actions of the mere man.

but I don't think it's a case of contagion.

Modern scholars seem to say otherwise

In a long, carefully documented essay, Wasserstein (who’s now at the University of Chicago), cites Arendt’s scandalous use of quotes from anti-Semitic and Nazi “authorities” on Jews in her Totalitarianism book.

Wasserstein concludes that her use of these sources was “more than a methodological error: it was symptomatic of a perverse world-view contaminated by over-exposure to the discourse of collective contempt and stigmatization that formed the object of her study”—that object being anti-Semitism. In other words, he contends, Arendt internalized the values of the anti-Semitic literature she read in her study of anti-Semitism, at least to a certain extent

It’s a good thing you can’t bot, buy, or scam likes! Otherwise this bulletproof form of deciding who is trustworthy would be useless!

Alex Jones is mainstream media, bud

Great way to sleepwalk into fascism

I wish I could argue with you about this. But I can't. I voted for Harris, so many here refused because she wasn't good enough. It's like they want to go straight from where we are to perfect in a single election. The reason the process is slow is to avoid the very situation we're in now. Incremental progress. Unfortunately the last 60 years or so have been used to erode the whole process, so we're left with law makers and judges more interested in being rich and influential than doing their jobs.

I'm seriously looking forward to the results from the Rockland county NY election lawsuit. I'm seriously bummed the Harris campaign did fundraising for a recount but never called for one.

Whatever excuse you guys need to use to dodge responsibility i guess

Literally voting for genocide and telling other people to vote for genocide while saying this shit

Literally voting for fascism and telling other people to vote for fascism and telling them it's to fight fascism.

Theres so much distintion you completley boiled out of that, to the point where I don't think you're actually analzing anything and are just lashing out.

I wouldn't call a cop, supporter of genocide, unpopular, failed candidate no one wanted, whose biggest accomplishments are being for transfering trans people to the wrong prisons, and heading the office that argued against letting out of prisoners as it would deplete a "necessary labor pool" just an "educated black lady", and in fact boiling down an individual to just a symbolic representation of their skin color is pretty damn rascist.

If you really think Dems could have prevented this you haven't been paying attention. Their job was to be complicent to maintain the status quo as much as possible, and crush any true progressive movements, as they do time and time again. Even fucking FDR's new deal that gets lauded as a huge victory was used to undercut the true demands of the labor movement of the time.

Just because some people painfully aware of the horrific positions we are in as a working class, and realize that the only way we stand any chance is to throw off the illusions and start playing hardball, doesn't mean they are the enemies for challenging your own complaiency.

A lot of others online said, "since Kamala will support Israel, I'm not voting at all."
Lack of democratic action.
