1/ I'm excited to share that Franz Knappik’s and my Cambridge Element on Hegel and Colonialism is finally out – open access below! We trace how Hegel defends European colonial rule, including transatlantic slavery, and how that defence runs through his entire philosophical system.

Der Mann ist eh stabil, das merkt man a) daran, welche Rollen er übernimmt und wie er sie verkörpert, und b) in zwei-drei sporadischen Interviews/Talkshows.

Echt stark, und ein Schauspieler schafft, woran die dt. Politik versagt, ein würdiges Gedenken an die Opfer des rassistischen Terrors.
Es gibt viel Diskussion um das neue Gedenkstättenkonzept von Wolfram Weimer. Zu beachten, Roth wollte auch Terroropfer aufnehmen, Weimer nicht.

OK but 50 years of British cultural theory has produced small libraries about why the one (Thatchers "colorblindness") is intricately linked to the other (open white supremacy). There ain't no Black in the Union Jack is not just a catchy book title.

A reminder of how Mrs Thatcher's Conservative party in 1983, an era featuring much more widespread racial prejudice in the public, approached the issue of race and national identity:

À Gaza, Israël tue et mutile à un rythme insensé depuis le 7 octobre 2023. La presse internationale n’a rapporté qu’un petit nombre de ces massacres, dans l’horreur du génocide qui a emporté plus de 67 000 vies palestiniennes et la plupart des infrastructures.

Israeli settlers attacked a Palestinan teen and shot his father, who lost a leg.
Soldiers arrested the injured father and his son.

Since the Hamas attack of 7th October, what remains of big ideals such as our shared humanity?

From Paris in the 1920s to Berlin in the 1990s… why do nomadic foreigners always yearn for an ideal city at its ideal age?

Where is Berlin at now?

After the anticipated and hoped for prisoners/hostage exchange, there will remain in Israeli prisons thousands more Palestinians than there had been there on 6th October 2023.

Zelda Williams has publicly condemned those who have sent her AI-generated videos depicting her late father, Robin Williams, calling the recreations “gross” and “a waste of time and energy.”

This is an incredibly obvious instance of projection and mirroring, revealing how Casey Babb thinks of both Bari Weiss and Van Jones not as individuals but as fungible and replaceable assets (tokens?) within a general category.

A useful illustration of the limits of liberal identity politics.
It's astounding to see self-described progressives lose their minds over the successes of a Jewish female entrepreneur and intellect in @bariweiss, and a wildly successful Black man in @VanJones68. I guess equity, diversity, and inclusion don't mean as much as they've told us.
