@infinite_jaz@polanskydj I don't really think that's where she ends up based on the essay...and if she does, in relation to your original post, it's certainly not because of some Herder-Fascist pipeline. But fair enough...be well. All this aside, I appreciate your protective presence work.
@infinite_jaz@polanskydj It's just ironic because Newhouse actually kind of gets Herder right in the essay by reading him as he was understood by his contemporaries. Speaking of…the famously Marxist Moses Hess was a big fan.
@infinite_jaz@polanskydj Herder was a favorite theorist of national exiles the world over in the 19th century. The idea that his (anti-colonial!) concept of the Volk is ipso facto fascist is just lazy history. The total bastardization of Herder by the Nazis is like an enormous topic in the literature.
@MendelPish72793@thislouis The woman who was verbally abused was not a protestor! She was a resident of Crown Heights entirely uninvolved with the protest, according to multiple media reports.

If you read one thing today, make it this brilliantly reported piece on the state of Jewish cemeteries in Poland and their politics by @GabrielRom1 https://t.co/b8z0LrcJoZ

La Pologne comptait autrefois plus de 1 500 cimetières juifs. Il y aujourd’hui en Pologne environ un cimetière juif pour 15 Juifs polonais vivants. https://t.co/xZBhRyc7Rp
In light of the anniversary of the great man's death, I am reupping my essay on the political philosophy of Kieslowski's Trois Couleurs, which I still consider to be some of the greatest films ever made.
