I can’t stop thinking that the takeaway is much worse: does the the popularity of lightly-laundered nazism reveal something about how easy it is to capitalize on the worst aspects of our tribalism?
Some notes on #Heidegger's anti-Semitism, and how I am coming to think it is more tightly bound up with his #philosophy than I previously had stated. (Featuring a tweet by @peligrietzer) Kind of a case study in the difficulty of decolonising philosophy.

Ah that's what I meant to be getting at in the first of my responses, before the point about the critical theorists. If I am right, that this is actually founded upon just a rather crude `Jews bad!' anti-Semitism, I think it should be viewed as a real object lesson for all of us.

I think that’s right but I don’t have a sense of why it’s bad to have a somewhat abstract understanding of machines. Just on its face what the badness of this? My conjecture is Heidegger didn’t feel an answer was necessary here because he thought “that’s how Jews think” sufficed.
