You don't have to be an abolitionist to know that extraterritorial, indefinite detention in camps is wrong for ANYONE. The fixation on one guy being "innocent" is really toxic. #FreeThemAll

when Adorno & Horkheimer were sending each other letters full of insults in 34, Adorno—probs the single real reader of the recently published “Dämmerung”—writes a letter like ‘I hate you right now but I unconditionally love this book if you even care. We are destined to be friends. Give it up’ lmfao

Translations of two previously unpublished fragments on “Negative Metaphysics” by Herbert Marcuse (ca. 1933), original variations on the critique of Heidegger Horkheimer & Adorno were working on their own versions if at the time!

I love that it’s a trans historical truth that philosophers will choose an enemy (whether that be a school, camp, or position) and accuse everyone they don’t like of it

The fact that bestimmtes sein and dasein were translated from Hegel as être-là will be the bane of my existence because now people think it’s necessarily existentialist/phenomenological.

IMO the solution to the Marxist periodization debates is to double down & get even more specific. You have to be ready to pull out a Foucault style “There were no homosexuals before 1870” or give it up & go home

Adorno in a 39 letter to Scholem says the Zohar reminded him of being a “short winded / near sighted city dweller” on a guided hike to see an elusive Chamois, didn’t, but got such a comprehensive “topology” of the habitat he vibrated with excitement that there could be one around any corner lol
