Thank you for this series! I have been reading this book off and on for a while now and it is such a difficult read I appreciate the discussion style Cliffsnotes. The intro music though hurts my ears. LoL! Seriously it does.
Your videos are correlating directly to the materials of a course I am currently taking, very eerie. Are you in touch with a professor at Concordia in Montréal?
So I've listed to the first two of these. This is my big issue with this sort of philosophy. It start with this idea that we need to look at the world from within a box. And that box is given to use by official institutions, mainstream media, politicians. Something like totalitarianism is assumed to be an aberration. But more so, that someone must be guilty of not following the official, mainstream narratives to be susceptible to it. And finally, that any totalitarianism of the future, will mimic that of the past. So as we study philosophy, history and totalitarianism, it is all done from the position of being morally and cognitively superior. This is something the "other" may follow. Not us, who don't believe in socially deviant theories. Then the big elephant in the room. The one so big, that if you are going to reference current events and miss this elephant than you have to be either blind to tyranny, or scarred to speak out. The "virus" that was never isolated, but declared by a Chinese dictator. The fear cult. The coerced jabs. The idiot masks. The world wide dissolution of supposed western "democracy" into totalitarian germ cults. I'm not interested in boring blanket statements about those who oppose the status quo. Totalitarianism in the United States will not come by racists, white supremacist, jew hating mobs. Seem that the germ cult and those who declare fake science as the truth have the upper hand.
Arendt's nonsense 'Just-So' story. Ridiculous that people take Arendt's crude propaganda seriously. She was the NYT reporter for that silly 'Eichmann Trial' TV Show wasn't she?
"White dudes." The bias here is extreme. Not presented as an interpretation but the interpretation. If you have wealth you are an exploiter. Not you may be, or according to a socialist world view. This is what gives professors a bad name. Not that these interpretations are not valid but that they are presented as facts. A child with PhD.

Hannah Arendt is a top class intellect
I'm really enjoying this series so far. Do you think you'll do The Human Condition?
I have already :)
@@TheoryPhilosophy Thanks! I'll give it a listen.
Thanks, 4 more to go. I'll finish them.

Lol no weird. I live in MTL though. Maybe we're brainwashed by the same illuminati group
Have you read _The Authoritarian Dynamic,_ and if so what did you think?
12:35 Equivocation. That's what applies here.

What was her propaganda?
