Our fathers and grandfathers, they fought the socialists in Germany and the communists in Russia -- World War II. But in a way, they kind of had it easy.

Great stuff, partial to this as well.

Quote from: jakefromstatefarm on February 29, 2020, 03:57:39 PM

maintaining that the only legitimate politics are the ones that willfully mortify the passions is the most slavish shit ever, and you inordinately see it from bootlickers already comfortably placed within hegemony.

the reflexive revulsion towards violence/coercion is related, but i have a harder time excavating why exactly its so distasteful to me. i saw a comment thread on reddit yesterday between a paint by the numbers technocratic liberal and a vaguely marxist leftie; they went through the usual bullet points before the centrist signed off with a respectably purplish illustration of the “terrors of marxist regimes” meted out on its subjects. the rhetorical bluster’s just enough to get you to sympathize until you notice that the subjects in question were...gusanos fleeing to florida. now, i’m gonna remain agnostic about how effectively distributed the violence was (idk shit about cuba) but denying that lining up landlords/slaveowners against a wall could ever be justified in principle strikes me as not just ignoble but also historically illiterate.

there’s a line in the intro to a student edition of hobbes i have that’s something to the effect of: the only people who find hobbes’ defense of absolute, arbitrary sovereignty compelling are the ones who’ve lived through war. and that’s probably right. but equally, the centrality to fanon of violence -not just its liberatory potential in boring consequentialist terms, but the therapy it performs on the dispossessed and indigent- shouldn’t be intelligible to someone until they’ve been caged in ostensible peacetime.

I had to go back and realize you meant slavish instead of Slavish

so what's the actual argument he was making?

Popper says to combat intolerance with "rational argument" not the force of law. So the part where the image says intolerance "must be outside of the law" cannot be sourced to the claimed source. The only point in which he says force can be used to combat intolerant forces is when they resort to force/violence/etc. rather than simply intolerant speech.

We can disagree about if Popper successfully solved the dilemma or not but it's arguably not a paradox at all in Open Society, Popper thinks "rational argument" can debunk/shame/defeat intolerant forces, the image is closer to promoting the argument in Marcuse's Repressive Tolerance in which the law is used to preemptively suppress views the state determines to be intolerant.

Well, when I think of Popper I think of falsifiability and his philosophy of science stuff, not his politics so much. So... maybe not? I don't know, he might have spent all day on Twitter instead of doing that stuff. I'll defer to jakefromstatefarm on this.

Although I guess there certainly is that element of someone coming from another field and then writing what's mostly already been written by others as if it's this groundbreaking political work that does wind up being more popular.

I think he was one of the Mont Pelerin founders actually.

yep. this + the meme takeaways from open society are the only things i know about him politically. like you said hes way more important to phil of science than anything. his readings of historical texts royally pissed off conservative intellectuals at the time, like strauss, who had more skin in the game when it came to the canon^TM. again, havent read it, but i also havent ever seen anyone take open society’s readings of plato, hegel, et al. serious outside of like, crank op-ed writers.
