Please read this extremely thoughtful & careful post on Tim Walz, Anne Frank, & the US Holocaust Memorial Museum from Martin Shuster, philosopher, Isaac Swift Distinguished Professor of Jewish Studies, former Holocaust Memorial Museum Fellow, & scholar of genocide, the Holocaust, & authoritarianism:
Martin Shuster sdSreptoon1hm9t97235g2u5796glgh0435l6iaf05it1l232lc20cllf4g0 · So apparently on Sunday Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, said in a press conference that "we have got children hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside ... many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank. Somebody’s gonna write that children’s story about Minnesota.” Then on Monday--one day before International Holocaust Remembrance Day--the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum tweeted in response that: "Anne Frank was targeted and murdered solely because she was Jewish. Leaders making false equivalencies to her experience for political purposes is never acceptable. Despite tensions in Minneapolis, exploiting the Holocaust is deeply offensive, especially as antisemitism surges." As someone who spent a year at the Museum as a fellow doing research, I feel embarrassed for the institution. First, it is very clear that Walz wasn't drawing an equivalence, he was drawing an analogy. So this kind of response reminds me of the atrocious positions that the ADL has started to carve out, and why it has become mostly a sycophantic joke, now seemingly mostly geared towards currying favor with MAGA. Not unrelatedly, I am noticing that a lot of--oftentimes even well-intentioned--people are spending time trying to delineate exactly which historical referent best captures what's going on now, as if we have to pick only one. There is the now well-circulated meme that says: no, ICE isn't the Gestapo, it's actually American--it's slave catchers. But this is a kind of odd distinction: the Nazis were themselves influenced by the Americans (if you're curious read the excellent book by James Whitman, _Hitler's American Model_). Nazis came here and studied American legal systems and statutes ... and remarkably a group of "liberal" Nazis decided that they couldn't make German laws as *extreme* as American ones (and this "liberal" group in fact won the day; German laws weren't as extreme as many of ours). Equally, Nazi jurists and theorists like Carl Schmitt were deeply influenced by American notions of manifest destiny. So the Nazi and American contexts were already fused. The idea of foreign/domestic is already quite complex in this context. (And this is before we even speak of the many actual Nazis that existed here and the many people who materially supported Hitler and the regime). We can complicate this picture more by noting that Nazism itself, even apart from these American influences, wasn't something that sprouted up out of thin air: it, too, had a(n experimental) history. Many of its barbaric practices and aims were developed and tested on colonial and imperial victims (as I have written elsewhere: there is a direct line from Shark Island concentration camp [called frequently simply "Death Island" where the Germans committed genocide against the Herero and Nama people] to the entire Nazi camp system). Thinkers like Hannah Arendt and Aimé Césaire drew our attention to this already in the middle of the last century. In noting this, let me be clear that this does not erase or make less relevant the centuries of European antisemitism that fed into the Nazi project. That's the whole point: these are all related phenomena. European antisemitism influenced the way in which European colonialism and imperialism operated against indigenous populations in the Americas. Strikingly, as innovations mounted in "administering" the Americas, antisemitic policies also evolved in Europe. Administrators (oppressors) would sometimes even move from one sphere to the other and back. They were all synergistic (a brilliant examination of some of this is María Elena Martínez's _Genealogical Fictions_). (And one could, btw, also tell an important story about the development of Islamophobia in this very same orbit, since policies stumbled on in the Americas came back to oppress both Jews and Muslims in Europe). This is all to say: Walz's analogy is not at all far fetched. The history of oppression doesn't move in any kind of neat or purely linear fashion. It is oftentimes recursive, shifting, necessarily granular. Neither is it a competitive history. It is, in the words of Michael Rothberg, a *multidirectional* history. Drawing these analogies in fact *helps* us understand all the involved phenomena better. At least this is what "Never Again" has meant and means to me: it does not mean only never again for me or other Jews. And it does not mean never again only something that looks exactly like the Nazi genocide. I think also, btw, that this is what it meant for Otto Frank, who spent time *editing* his daughter's diary so that it could be available to anyone, not only to Jews. For ultimately the Nazi genocide--any genocide--is a highly mediated phenomenon: it consists of many diffuse events, marshals an immense amount of people and institutions, relies on sometimes conflicting or contradictory cross-sections of society, and, indeed, emerges out of a process that does not neatly, especially as its happening, have a clear beginning, middle, and end, but rather arranges for itself a kind of constellation that harnesses a range of actors, perspectives, and also histories (this is one way to understand how German colonial projects or anti-communism or ableism were no less crucial to Nazism than European antisemitism). The genocidal outcomes emerge from the structural forms society adopts. And all of this without in any way eliding the special role that Jews played in the apocalyptic Nazi worldview.

Please don't fall into the 'Every single bad thing of the last ten years happened because of this one rich asshole who conveniently is dead' conspiracy hole.

He's just the one of all the rich assholes whose emails we got to read.

The conspiracy is real but it's plutocratic patriarchy.

Es geht an keiner Stelle um Mental Health. Das Internet gibt Kindern und Jugendlichen Zugang zur Außenwelt, Informationen und Hilfsangeboten. Das Internet stellt die Eigentumsansprüche von Eltern infrage und untergräbt elterliche Kontrolle.

Thats all. Es geht nur um "Elternrechte" (i.e. Abuse)

What you're reading in these e-mails and other documents is the cause half of cause and effect. If it seems premeditated, it's because you also have the benefit of knowing the effect.

It's very tempting to note how all the threads of history seemed to combine to bring us to our current moment, but you're looking at it with the benefit of hindsight. Yes, all roads literally lead to Rome, but it only seems that way if you're *in Rome*.

Das ist witzig weil die NSDAP wurde im Gegensatz zur AfD verboten bevor sie die Macht übernehmen konnte. Hat funktioniert. Beim zweiten Mal hat man daher lieber auf ein Verbot verzichtet

I mean we can't all be Ursula K. Le Guin but we've had 22 years to catch up. No excuses anymore
Q: Nicholas Lezard has written 'Rowling can type, but Le Guin can write.' What do you make of this comment in the light of the phenomenal success of the Potter books? I'd like to hear your opinion of JK Rowling's writing style UKL: I have no great opinion of it. When so many adult critics were carrying on about the "incredible originality" of the first Harry Potter book, I read it to find out what the fuss was about, and remained somewhat puzzled; it seemed a lively kid's fantasy crossed with a "school novel", good fare for its age group, but stylistically ordinary, imaginatively derivative, and ethically rather mean-spirited.

Said it before, will say it always - for a bunch swindlers, executives & investors are the biggest marks going.

Naive fantasists who believe anything that validates their myopic prebaked view of reality. Unable to change, unwilling to learn. Marks.

They’re THE reason the industry’s suffering.

For nearly 20 years I’ve witnessed game execs make the same mistakes, over and over, convinced they’ve got it right every time.

It should be *impossible* to learn as little as they’ve learned, to be exactly as dumb now as they were two decades ago. Yet… here we are.

Their arrogance is stunning.

Self-styled investors are so risk averse they’ve circled around to making huge gambles on faint (and fantastical) promises of total risk elimination. So obsessed with free labor they’re paying the highest prices to get it.

We can ALL see it, but in true sucker fashion, they insist they know better.

The sheer swiftness of their response to Google’s newest proposal to conjure profits from fucking nothing tells you plenty about how little “investors” care about investing in anything. I doubt many of them even know what investment actually is.

They quite genuinely want to buy magic spells.

I put “investors” in quotes because what they do isn’t investment. They’re not here to build or to fund, they’re looking to make money for nothing.

These days, they put money behind projects that are practically complete and already have plenty of resources. Cash cows, not investments.
