Ever since she signed that awful document supporting Ronell - and using her fame to demean the voices of students whose lives Ronell screwed up - I will never look at her the same way again. It breaks my heart. I am deeply disappointed.
she apologized for that shortly after the letter leaked. I was very disappointed, too, but she retracted her support and just recently mentioned that she wrongfully supported a sexual abuser and was glad that she was called out on that so that she could see her wrong.
I wish Ms. Butler had not used the word "selbstständig" implying that it means you stand on your own. In fact, the word means more like "automatic" like a machine that turns itself off automatically. The word seems unfortunate in its resonance although the connection is not completely false. If you act automatically, I suppose that means you act without thought and without power. Verbal precision would have been better IMO. Still, I appreciate the ideas about non-violence, in any form.
In love with her philosophy! Judith's way of thinking is light on our days.
got to 5:00 to skip intro
Wishing she mentioned Kurdistan after Palastine too.

Force is usually associated with violence. To force non-violence onto others is an act of violence.
