"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

“Even solidarity, the most honourable mode of
conduct of socialism, is sick. Solidarity was once intended to make the talk of brotherhood real, by lifting it out of generality, where it was an ideology, and reserving it for the particular, the Patty, as the sole representative in an antagonistic world of generality. It was manifested by groups of people who together put their lives at stake, counting their own concerns as less important in face of a tangible possibility, so that, without being possessed by an abstract idea, but also without individual hope, they were ready to sacrifice themselves for each other.”
