  I think it would have been worth mentioning that Husserl was trying to create a foundation for the empirical science. He called his work a 'Science of Consciousness'. Some basic examples would have helped in the intro too. Something like stating a square without sides cannot be imagined, and that the question over real or illusionary was not important to the 'experience of' ('intentionality'). The distinctions between Moments and Essences would also have helped sketch out better Husserl's phenomenology.

  14:24 This might be articulated better: "The simp is the pure, insribed object of the Other. The fear of being the simp is then the fear of losing all agency and becoming essentially a puppet to the Other." That said, the fear of being a simp is always-already a projection of nascent simpness. The first step to not being a simp is to be unabashedly unconcerned with simpness. Otherwise, some Other can use _that_ fear to drive you into simphood.

  What was Deleuze & Guattari's main reproach to Lukács? Well, it was L.'s insistence on the consciousness of working class (when the proletariat becomes conscious of it's strenght in numbers it will overthrow it's supressors). But the main discovery of the 20th century philosophy was that people's actions are guided by the unconscious, which makes every theory based on the rational consciousness sterile. Psychoanalysis (Tutt, Žižek, Lacan...) hold that Freud discovered the unconscious, but Deleuze thought that Nietzsche was the first to discover the unconscious forces, active and reactive, that guide people's actions, and that later Freud's speculations were too subjective and restrictive in dealing with the desire (and also a rip-off of Nietzsche's ideas). It is also funny to reproach Nietzsche for being bourgeois, and at the same time hold every Freud's thought as golden, when we all know that Freud was a bourgeois thinker par exellence. To have a useful theory one has to have a good foundation (ontology), and if Tutt thinks that dogmatism is a favorable way forward, good luck to him and all his followers...

  I think the idea was moreso the general sense of how pro-revolutionaries relate to death was exposed very openly by the COVID crisis.

I recall a conversation at some point with people who I forgot about the weird lack of writings from anarchists about the plagues that decimated Europe in the late-19th early-20th Centuries. Of all the things anarchists wrote about, how did that get omitted? Maybe the assumption is wrong

  This was a fascinating discussion and really informative about the origins of nationalism and why it has staying power. Perhaps it is my understanding of the term colonial, so I might be wrong, but I see Israel as more of a settler state as opposed to a colonial project. Colonies were set up to extract wealth and make the so-called mother nation richer whereas they are the mother nation, if you will. Israel looks more like the U.S. post independence where it went from being a colony into its own expansionist empire to my eyes. I think the presumption it is colonial is what leads people to compare Israel-Palestine to France-Algeria which leads to this idea that you’re going to be able to terrorise Israelis out of the state. That presumption and the subsequent escalations in violence is why I think Israel is so far right. Conversely, I think that is also why Palestine is so far right too as there is always a disproportionate response from Israel to these attacks. They are almost like a mirror, albeit a broken one, of themselves where neither side is willing to compromise or give up assaulting the other. A desperate and tragic situation that, unfortunately, doesn’t appear to be leading to peace any time soon. However, going back to nationalism, I hope that we will move past it in the future out of necessity as the lines between what is a Brit or an American or whatever blur even further. If we don’t, I fear we will slide back into ethnic supremacy and fascism which won’t be good for minorities and people of mixed heritage like myself. Out of sheer self-preservation I hope I’m completely wrong 😅

  @CyberDandy5 ай бұрын

  I think a lot of the terminology is doing more harm than good. This whole thing about settlement or colony is a bit of a joke. The words "colon" and "colony" share a common root in the Latin word "colonus," which means "farmer" or "settler." This Latin word, in turn, comes from "colere," meaning "to cultivate" or "to inhabit." Over time, "colonus" evolved to refer more broadly to inhabitants of a territory, leading to the English word "colony," which denotes a group of people who settle in a new land while maintaining ties to their parent country. IMO - the real problem with Zionism and Israel comes from the 1942 Biltmore Conference when the Zionists decided to officially aim for the creation of a “commonwealth” …a state. The thing that states do is they claim sovereignty over a large region that goes beyond anywhere someone is living. In response, the Arab League adopted the Alexandria Protocol with its Special Resolution Concerning Palestine: “Special Resolution Concerning Palestine A. The Committee is of the opinion that Palestine constitutes an important part of the Arab World and that the rights of the Arabs in Palestine cannot be touched without prejudice to peace and stability in the Arab World. The Committee also is of the opinion that the pledges binding the British Government and providing for the cessation of Jewish immigration, the preservation of Arab lands, and the achievement of independence for Palestine are permanent Arab rights whose prompt implementation would constitute a step toward the desired goal and toward the stabilization of peace and security. The Committee declares its support of the cause of the Arabs of Palestine and its willingness to work for the achievement of their legitimate aims and the safeguarding of their Just rights. The Committee also declares that it is second to none in regretting the woes which have been inflicted upon the Jews of Europe by European dictatorial states. But the question of these Jews should not be confused with Zionism, for there can be no greater injustice and aggression than solving the problem of the Jews of Europe by another injustice, i.e., by inflicting injustice on the Arabs of Palestine of various religions and denominations. B. The special proposal concerning the participation Of the Arab Governments and peoples in the "Arab National Fund" to safeguard the lands of the Arabs of Palestine shall be referred to the committee of financial and economic affairs to examine it from all its angles and to submit the result of that examination to the Preliminary Committee in its next meeting.” The framework that the Arab League (and many other Arab organizations) saw Palestine through is clearly seen in this: Palestine is part of the Arab World. Therefore, it should be ruled by Arabs, whether or not they’re Palestinian, Hashemites, or whatever. The conflict was written into stone at that point: Zionists and the Arab League adopted mutually exclusive doctrines regarding who would rule Palestine. If you dig into why Zionists went from a diverse collection of groups - as can be seen from the parties (lists) participating in elections to the Assembly of Representatives ( en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1920_Assembly_of_Representatives_election ) - well, you start to see what actually happened that lead to this eventual decision in 1942. There were Arab riots throughout 1920-21 in opposition to the Balfour Declaration. The Arabs tried to show the British the instability of Palestine and that a Jewish homeland was ungovernable. Riots increased in 1929 after the fourth Aliyah - 133 Jews were killed by Arab mobs during the 1929 riots. The Arabs claimed that Jewish immigration and land purchases were displacing them and taking their jobs away. These riots were also instigated by false rumours that the Jews were planning on building a synagogue near the Western Wall. These riots led to the evacuation of Hebron's indigenous - largely non-Zionist - Jewish population. In sum, serious conflict drove the Zionist majority into a defensive, security mentality that sought protection in the form of the Haganah and eventually a nation-state. Meanwhile, the Arab Higher Committee and various other groups were also becoming militant in their rejection of the Balfour Declaration and the possibility of a Jewish state. Hopes of those like Martin Buber and the rest of Brit Shalom (later, Ihud) for binationalism were seen as totally unrealistic as these conflicts increased. And the idea wasn’t any more popular amongst Arabs. Thinking about all of this in the way we understand imperial joint-stock companies creating colonies and settling populations there to carry out the dirty work of empire - usually coerced to do so through debt (as David Graeber nicely describes in his book, Debt: The First 5000 Years)… I mean, that way of thinking is just absurd to me. It’s comparing apples with oranges and saying they’re the same because they’re both fruits. You can find settler-colonial attitudes and aspirations amongst the founders of Zionism and you can find some features of their project that resemble some things actual settler-colonial enterprises did, but that’s an incredibly simplistic way to do history. I actually think one reason why the settler-colonial framework is emphasized so much is to avoid the problems that nationalism itself comes with and I think this is motivated by wanting to ignore Arab nationalisms.

  I’m so glad I came across this video and your channel. I’m not Jewish but my world has been in a bit of a spin since Oct 7th and I’ve been suffering from boomerang effect on this topic due to the responses from the Left/Far Left. I’m of Irish heritage so my feeds were flooded with people praising Hamas on the day of the attack which seemed completely distasteful for me even at that early stage where we weren’t aware of how bad the massacre was. Then there has been this ever present under current of antisemitism in the Leftist online spaces that seems to be coming a wave of virtue signallers that refuse to humanise Israelis. On top of that, there is a nationalist and Islamist agenda attached to the protests which has really turned me away from engaging in a meaningful way beyond sticking to my anarchist line and saying I advocate for a ‘no state solution.’ This conversation has given me a better perspective and hope that there are sane people out there who, as Uri put it, see the vertical and not the horizontal.
