I was once called fascist and nazi and I asked back if the person even knew what that was. If she knew, who Mussolini was. She didn't. That annoyed me a lot, my issue was not that she insulted me, my issue was that she didn't even know what she just said. And when I told her, she should research and refresh her general knowlegde, she was so offended by that, as if the accusation of a lack of knowlegde (truth btw) was worse than a comparison to men who are responsible for the death of MANY people.
Stop analyzing, reading or thinking: act. It is not about ideas but about power. Fight back and bully the bullies. We are not anymore on the convincing zone. This is cultural War
Thanks New Age Jordan Peterson!
You have fo realize thay there's a benefit to those in power. We didnt jusy wind up this way without intent.
Amazing video subbing right away:
*When philosophers mansplain*
If I see it right, Heidegger changes the meaning of the term Dasein after the period of Being and time ( but i am not totally sure about that). So he probably thinks different about the term Dasein in his later thinking. So the problem here is I think, that the video just focuses on the so called early Heidegger and how he uses the term Dasein in Being and time. But maybe one should consider how the term Dasein is used in Heideggers whole work , for example in his work " Contributions to philosophy" , which is also well known like Being and time. Maybe you know this work too.
I have a course on the Contributions and several free videos about it on my channel
Okay thanks for this information. But do you know if the term Dasein is treatened there ( in the "Contributions") in the same way as in Being and Time? I am not sure about that, as Heidegger changes his thinking after Being and Time@@millerman
It's really interesting that by trying to promote Derrida you chose his work about language in which he exactly does what you said in the beginning. His far-leftist extremism stance is against ethnicity and against people creating their identities based on language, because, far-leftist extremists think this leads to nationalism, and if nationalism then fascism. Which is idiotic. When Derrida analyises monolingual identity his thinking goes like this: if monolanguage then ethnic, if ethnic than nationalistic, if nationalistinc than bad because it's fascism, if bad/fascism then let me write you from the perspective of far-left extremism how isn't right. But, his moroninc pseudo-religious far-leftist fundamentalism doesn't understand that there is essenatially no direct connection between this. In Ancient Greece they called themselves "same blood" and "same language" (homoglosson) in comparison to other non-Greeks. According to Derrida, Aristole would be Hitler. Unfortunatelly, you have totally missed the interpretation of Derrida already on this first instance. I suggest reading more (non-leftist) Sociolinguistic literature
Maybe because normal now is supporting a fascist state commiting genocide and to oppose this you are somehow anti semetic.
Because Americans are fascist. It's been normalized so when people call it out you freak out about it
Israel and France prove your point
The white fragility is so strong in this video lmao
Liberalism is a right wing ideology…
To make things simple remember Demolition Man? A movie about a super left wing dystopia
Left wing anti-liberalism? Yes, *everyone* deep down knows it’s true. The left is the new right. Just look at censorship and sensitivity but also destruction and violence, just not if youre brown? Hm. Weird
They've removed themselves from the world. Meaning they see themselves as awakened humans, they see something us old humans don't. It's wild that everytime this mentality shows up, they fall for the same old human conditions many previous greats already were aware of. It's obnoxious we're here in this time. "this time, we'll succeed in making a utopia."
How do you envision our conversations with alien species? They probably have liberals and conservatives too. Ultimately it's balance that holds it all together and that's a process of beings and nature harmonising through time. Critique, debate, dialectic should be persued but none of us as individuals should think we have the truth although a sense of what is true is very valuable. You are a beautiful this, I am a beautiful that. The fact of the diversity of thought seems true to me. These days I have faith in balance. I guess we're all in service to it. Pretty Hegelian kind of optimism
Thought provoking. Some of it over my head...which means i am learning. A core topic that i would like to see you discuss is "what is good, what is wise?" I am asking this question in the sense of the "long run" Im formulating my thoughts on this.... seems like neoliberalism and classic liberalis define the answer in very different spans of time.
That was probably the best display of word salad I've ever witnessed
Thank you 😄

Perhaps Heidegger means our consciousness is a certain reflection of the world. In experiencing the world we become a subject. We ARE the world from a certain perspective.
Konstantin kisin is what I call "autistic" intellectual. He just repeats talking points from Twitter and has a "genius" and "resourcefulness" to monetize his sheer mediocrity. Nothing he says cannot be found in decades old opinion pieces in conservative publications. It might be in his pre-natal environment that he would have come up with any original idea.
Great discussion on the They Self vs The Self.
Comment for traction
I believe in only 1 thing.... the power of the human will" - (guess who)
I was called a grifter and a fascist for simply suggesting that human activities isn’t a leading cause of climate change 😅. Rather than considering my point or debating it, they automatically assume malice or some type of evil behind my statement. These people are crazy.
YOU HAVE TO KNOW THE RULES TO BREAK THEM, I told my Nazi, Fascist accusatory son home from college 25 years ago. Spouting skewed theories taught him on campus without a shred of understanding what he was talking about, I learned then academia had gone to hell in the proverbial handbasket. We yanked him and sent him to work in Colorado to ski himself to better mental health. Enlightened friends and relatives, unbeknownst to him, worked his ass off, forced Plato on him and turned his head around as they have for generations of my family's wayword youth.
Läsnäolo. ❤😂
This gets real clear in the framework of the "three telos model"
A cat is not being a cat, it is a cat. A tree is not being a tree, it is a tree. However, a Homo sapien is not being a Homo sapien, it is being a human. Dasein is unique to humans because we are both bound to and can reflect upon the past just as we can peer into and effect the future, and we can do this while existing and acting in the moment. No cat or tree will contemplate our existence, yet we will contemplate theirs, so existence and dasein are not comparable terms for the former is purely material while the latter exists in the physical and in the realm of both the conscious and unconscious, the before, the now, and the thereafter.
Citing Dugin, seriously? Putin's favourite philisopher, who has blood of thousands of ukrainians on his hands and supports genocide? Lunacy.
I am interested in Dugin as a political philosopher. You can consult my books and many videos for the details if you'd like.
It’s a leftist rhetorical tool intended to reinforce in group loyalty and provide an intellectual basis for brutalizing opposition. The accusation has no content; it’s simply deployed as a guilt-by-association with Nazism in the popular mind.
Calling us fascists while they act like fascists. Calling us racist while they behave like racists. Calling good evil and evil good. Sounds like something Biblical to me. We are in a spiritual war.
Why can't you people just own the word already? Michael Millerman has liked comments that such as "Every normal person was "fascist" prior to WW2. Blood and soil, love of ones own, wariness of the other is how we are wired. Perfectly healthy." Blood and soil is literally a fascist slogan. Love of one's own? Who's own? Based on what? Wariness of the other is how we're wired? Yeeeesh.
I’m not going to defend fascism, but the comment isn’t wrong necessarily. We know who we are related to through blood relations, national affections and ethnic identity. This has historically been the cornerstone of the nation state, even prior to Westphalia. Liberal universalism is the historical abrogation, not the norm.
@@shanonsnyder9450 "even prior to Westphalia"? Is that some nazi shit or something?
@@shanonsnyder9450 "we know who we are related to through blood relations" yeah no shit. but everyone is a mutt. DNA doesn't lie
@@shanonsnyder9450 There have never been clear lines between nations and "ethnicity", ESPECIALLY in the German region lol. Fash gonna fash. Can't admit it either. Must be envious of all those commies that are open and proud
Interesting here on Canada's west coast how open people are talking about their non-Christian values. I was at the barber, who is a gay woman, and listened to an open conversation on her pro satanic views. This is becoming more common.
It’s very easy to explain to most people… and unfortunately talking about great thinkers and such will muddy the waters because current culture has sucked attention span and thinking away from people. “Progressivism (understanding that liberalism is different but at this point both words usually are mixed around and explaining the same people)” is fundamentally flawed because by its default anything that isn’t “different” is bad and must be changed. It’s like an insatiable beast that doesn’t know anything besides its instinct. It’s destined to always move to the next target that things they champion now will be their enemy soon enough.
"Why is everything normal called fascist?" Because small minds have nothing else to fall back on in the face of push-back on or divergence from their echo chambers.
I had a history teacher at a small college in Philadelphia call me fascist because I questioned the history he was re-writing and teaching in class. Why is it fascist to question? I thought that college and university was where you were supposed to question things? To bring about debate? Debate is squashed.
Someone smarter than Heideger might say; Who or what you are is not your concern. Becoming who you are is your concern and that does not require "knowing" anything.
Simple as, the people most likely to call you or anything else “fascist” doesn’t understand what fascism actually is
Heidegger was a big influence on the major figures in Japanese philosophy. Thinkers like Nishitani, Watsuji, Suzuki, and Tanabe were students of Heidegger and they are considered the most significant philosophers of the early-mid 20th century in Japan. Many of them were also practicing Buddhists.
The older I get, the more I become convinced we need a philosophy, nay a religion based on common sense. So many labels, so much wordplay, so little common sense and common decency. We need to go back to the basics. We’ve become a species far too disconnected from base reality.
I see a direct connection between the older Dasein of things that Heidegger reconceptualized, and the Buddhist concept of the conventional or relative truth. But the new Dasein doesn’t seem to match the Absolute in Buddhism. The ultimate truth of Emptiness seems to be more akin to Heidegger’s concept of Lichtung? With Heidegger’s Dasein, at least for me at the moment, he seems to be attempting to elucidate aspects of human “becoming”, or relationality, or interdependence. Something like the living _experience_ of emptiness rather than a formal definition of it. Earlier this year in Hamburg I caught an exhibition of Caspar David Friedrich’s works and was a bit stunned by them. He had a series of sketches of a tree that clearly were attempting to demonstrate what are normally hidden aspects of human perspective, distortions that our mind sort of fixes for us to make an actual tree look more like our concept of a tree rather than what we are actually encountering. And then when I saw his famous Wanderer painting, it seemed to me that it might have originated from an experience of nondual presence, which he was trying to paint. Like Heidegger he was interested in being super-precise about what normally are for us hidden elements. I think he achieved something like in-der-Welt-sein, and I wonder now if this might have been an influence on Heidegger’s much later elucidation of that experience?
Hi from an ex-Russian. Calling everything someone doesn't like "fascist" is idiotic, of course Buuuuuut at the same time... Dugin is a propagandist, not a philosopher. His goal is to be closer to Putin's bank account. In English, Dugin says whatever you want to hear, in Russian - he says whatever the Kremlin wants to hear, and these two things are rarely the same. Do not trust Russians. They want you all dead just because "it doesn't matter if my cow is dead so long as the neighbor lost two cows". That's their inherent philosophy. Not making themselves better, but making everyone else worse off. Russians are the enemy Especially fucking Dugin.
*laughs in normal guy from 20 years ago* At this point I must be Super Mecha Death Reichs Fuhrer or something.
Great video as always. Have you considered - just for fun - doing a little critique of Kosinski's novel "Being There"? And or the film version with Peter Sellers?
