Re: Hostage deal

makes us aware that while the suffering of Auschwitz might be over,
there is still suffering in this world, and that by profiting from it,
we are just as guilty as the ones who have profited from the evictions
and expropriations that went along with the Shoah (say, from inhumane
conditions in certain factories nowadays thanks to which certain
products become affordable).“

This Last Part I obviously don’t fully agree with (we are Not as guilty
as those who are responsible for the Shoah), but there is some Truth in
what he says — that we are still guilty, by not realizing how awful this
world (which made Nazism possible) still is and Not Doing anything
against it. The Problem is the consciousness of people gets sort of
fucked by this world (Look at dan‘s or Trump’s narcissism).
Anyhow the Quoted Part I actually Googled because I was and still am too
lazy to Write a well-thought out Text on what Adorno meant with somatic
Impulse in english. And also because I have to Read more in that. Adorno
would have certainly disagreed saying that we are as guilty as the Nazis
it whatever the Autor was aiming at — but the other stuff is Not too
Bad.
