A month after October 7, some of the world’s leading Critical Theorists, including Jürgen Habermas and Rainer Forst, issued this statement. Their contributions to political philosophy will now forever be tainted by this singular, catastrophic failure in moral judgment.

We’re all feeling despair, but it’s worth noting that an intelligent authoritarian could easily have gone about this in a way that would provoke less outrage. Trump will instead continue to do what is maximally cruel, dishonest, and illegal, and this makes him vulnerable.

It seems increasingly unlikely that the decisive “constitutional crisis” will arrive. SCOTUS has now effectively ruled 5-4 that “sovereign is he who decides upon the state of exception.” Trump will be granted broad emergency authority to do whatever he wants. 1/5

My next installment for The Schizoanalysis Project is now available on my Substack! In this entry, I continue an analysis of the Schreber Case through a critique of Freud's account and his regression theory of the psychotic mechanism. Next up, Lacan.

There is no good reason to argue with fascists. For every atrocity, they will find a rationalization. For every rule, they will invent an exception. It is a shell game that no one should play. The only thing that matters is defeating them.

Robin’s argument always faced a fundamental problem: if it’s correct, then he should never have been so blasé about the rise of a shameless demagogue who allows reactionaries to freely express the core inegalitarian beliefs that Robin correctly claimed they held all along. 1/3
Its funny. Corey Robin's book was very controversial when he defined conservatism as a defense of hierarchical rule, and I got some push back for insisting that it was premised on a rejection of equality.
Now a lot of conservative thinkers just affirm that view unambiguously and proudly.
