Garcia reminds me why I had to leave Arendt behind me eventually

Garcia does this, in my humble (materialist) view, strange thing where she treats the social sciences, especially philosophy as the central catalyst and not the expression of the current society that surrounds it

Every critique of the term patriarchy feels highkey like this emoji 🤓🤓🤓

Wonder if Pelicots refusal to acknowledge the abuse of her daughter a symptom of our moment of feminist sleep paralysis. she gets that her symptom is somewhat systemic but she wants justice only for her and the other plaintiffs, not the ones who fall out of the legal system.
I would argue that there is also a remnant of the egoism of the post feminist moment of the 2010s in there

Garcia would have gained much if she would not just have read 'Eichmann in Jerusalem' but also the spiritual successor, Arendt's lecture series 'On Evil', so she wouldn't have clung as much to the judicial system as much as she did

This review might be the first time in 10 yearsI can put me obsessively reading Hannah Arendt as a late teen to use
