The sense of entitlement of bureaucracy and its very foundation being anti democratic. Interesting insight. However would have loved a deliberation upon TE Lawrence
In this context how does one explain all the examples of non-western, non-white, racism and imperialism ala Japan in wwii, Iran throughout the Persian empire and with pretensions today, the ancient Egyptians, Assyria, etc who were extreme imperialists, the Thai towards the Khmer and Lao, Myanmar towards all its minorities, the Taliban or the Chinese continuously from the time of the Qin, or historical native American imperialism from the Aztecs among so many others? What I see is an extreme limitation in our understanding of the breadth of imperialist racial pretensions that arise whenever power is concentrated in one ethno-lingustic group against the margins of their differing neighbors and would be very interested in your views on this through her lens.
Thanks so much for this series, it’s really helping me digest the dense, incredible material in this book
I'm loving this series! Just finished reading her book, but it feels like it all went in one ear and out the other, so to speak.
Excellent, thank you.
I wish we could be friends in order to enjoy the conversation personally. I love your enthusiasm for Arendt. Thank you!
We can be friends if you want!
