"Half attempted to already abandon this, but drudging on in some vein attempt to at least read 1 of his works before writing him off. His views of christianity are solid, witless, obscurantian bullshit, which has to ignore the centrality of supernatural ressurection to the Christian myth, the entire history and practice of it since Paul's founding and the equally central notion of original sin to justify his reading." — Dec 22, 2025 02:44PM

""Instead of solving the question of women's oppression, male society has so extended its own principle that the victims are no longer able even to pose the question".
While Adorno is mostly right in this passage about the ceasless ability of capitalism to absorb identity antagonisms into its stucture, as always, he vastly underestimates post war social politics. He cannot even concieve of the 2nd wave occuring." — Dec 20, 2025 01:29PM

Artists do not have to be blinded or burned to be silenced; their suppression can be as simple as creating or maintaining economic precariousness and allowing books to fade away.

“Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp’d towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.”
― The Tempest
