Alexander Kluge (1932-2026)…

RIP Alexander Kluge. Sein wahrscheinlich größtes Projekt war die ambitionierte TV-Plattform dctp. Auf der Webseite kann man viele der Sendungen streamen, neben thematischen Programmen auch Gespräche mit Künstlern wie Laurie Anderson, Jean-Luc Godard, Werner Herzog und Christoph Schlingensief.

Am I losing my mind

A ‘good Muslim’ is one who complies with Staatsräson. A ‘bad Muslim’ is one who does not.The same goes for ‘good Jews’ & ‘bad Jews’. This distinction, inherent to Staatsräson, is, in itself, antisemitic & reveals the fact that Germany has never truly moved on from a völkisch, blood-&-soil, worldview

Christian Petzold: "There is a quotation by Adorno — he says that a philosemite is an antisemite who’s loving Jews. Now the Germans want to be philosemites." variety.com/2026/film/fe...

Habermas sacrificed his legacy for Staatsräson Zionism and this is the obituary he deserves. The prophet of Palantir.

Inventing panicking about the Lumière train crashing through the screen because you can't distinguish reality from movies from first principles

H.'s case is a gigantic disappointment, and somewhat "typical" for post-war Germany: All this lovely talk about equality and dignity - and then an exception is made when it comes to Palestinians.

Habermas was unintentionally honest, that his universalism wasn’t really universal. From @a-d-n.bsky.social’s piece. criticalmuslim.com/explore/issu...

Read this piece by @a-d-n.bsky.social on the role Jürgen Habermas’ philosophy played in Germany’s Staatsräson and Memory Culture and most importantly how Habermas demolished his own legacy in the twilight of his life.

It's fair to say that this man's assclownery was too much for Jürgen
