Yuhhhh film analysis go brr. You have much better syntax organization than I do and honestly this could use a read through but if I refine this whole thing I won't respond for another week.
Meaning the same thing happened to all the Irish passengers as what happened to the Black juke joint victims: they burned to death. See the issue with that is that a boat is inherently not a juke joint. I can believe Remmick stowed away on this Irish worker boat (considering that the Irish of his time would’ve been 100 years past), but it would make more sense especially with the later songs sung (with the KKK,,,,,,,, yeah) that he actually DID get their Fili. This would mean that Remmick actually had the hive mind connection with a Fili but something else would’ve happened to kill everyone on the boat cos how is Remmick so readily caught by sunlight???? (3 whole times in the movie I know the film is pre the proliferation of watches but clearly he’s been around long enough - maybe he was just lingering in Ireland until everyone he knew died and everyone knows that Ireland is only knowledgeable of the concept of a sun so maybe there’s that). I can’t imagine a group of turned vampires having enough agency to all k!ll th*mselves from how the movie presented this specific vampire lore.
So perhaps that is what led him to the native american -> Sammie pipeline. In no way am I advocating for the glorification of this character but I just think he represents something actually prevalent esp in a lot of…. Activism spaces,,, yeah that’s a good way to describe it. 
Obviously “passing” is relevant to the plot of the movie but it's deeper than an octoroon or the asian couple that’s able to sell to both sides and still come to the cookout. It’s the belief that homogeneity is necessary. It’s that dual-sidedness that comes from having to be a community but also living in an intolerant and by all accounts deadly system for all involved. Is it because Smoke wanted to be a prolific black businessman, is it because Mary was so desperate to prove herself useful her main weapon became used against her? it's about hiding/showing your TRUE COLORS: I don’t believe it was Mary’s true colors to sell them out at the end. I can’t find the specific quote now but it’s like when you ask (nominally white) racism deniers would they rather be reborn as a black or white man in America. Now I obviously don’t think any of the characters (Mary even yells it) want to be white, but they all understand that proximity to whiteness and better yet perceived whiteness (I mean but one drop logic, tbh racial discussion is marred from the fact that race doesn’t exist yet is so relevant in - largely American - society) is the safest way to navigate through society. So knowing that the system that they try to just seamlessly slot themselves into (and would have worked if their target audience was actually fairly compensated for their work). Though “fair” and “compensation” really don’t mean much when talking about what’s due to the descendants of the horrors of the trans-atlantic slave trade. I’m going on a tangent but that’s really to the praise of the film. But I digress. I think that was more to show how that wanting to succeed in an unfair system would inherently require the need to share this much required safe space of sorts with groups that want to take advantage. 
The thing about the vampire bites being hidden is also very relevant but I would wager it’s more cos Remmick has clearly been around the block about this before but won’t ignore how it could be a passing allegory. When I said they didn’t kill anyone I didn’t count the vampires as “dead” sorry I know they’re.. Soulfull? Husks? (hilarious cos they’re souls are bound,,, get it? I’ll stop.) 
Remmick's preoccupied with finding magic-in-music that HE can use I do think this is the meat of it. We even see at some point in the film where Remmick would offer sparing everyone for Sammie. This shows his intent as just wanting Sammie’s talents so that he can experience his time again. I do think that community does offer something to the vampire (maybe also as a means of power collection; I haven't delved far into this level of film analysis) as we see them. In the songs presented in the film Remmick (for no damn reason) has way more performance zeal to preform “Rocky Road to Dublin” (which I think is why he wants people for his cause cos no one he bacteriophages, just to good a term sorry, has any real reason to sing that song) compared to his previous two songs sung it has more teeth to it, and an actual display of his true heritage. Pick poor robin clean and,,, the other one, (first viewing I joked not the ukulele people whipping out riptide lol) I believe were more songs shared amongst the black diaspora at the time. So he was probably relatively honest about fellowship but the group that had the “vessel” he wanted just happened to be Black. “Heaven on Earth” was said by Stack and probably more just a reference to his relative euphoria about being able to live without constant fear of racist threat + hive mind shenanigans. I don’t think idiot is a good word to describe Remmick, it’s clear he’s got some grisel to him to survive this long, single-minded though? Definitely. 
even if he made a musician a vampire, they'd lose their magic cuz of the curse, and he'd ditch/kill them cuz they'd be USELESS to him--he'd leave to find another musician, and start the cycle all over again. That is a good point but I don’t think that’s the ticket, more like he’s trying to make other cultures sing and dance for him and show him the things he wants to see. You see in how all the Black people are just jigging to a song that obviously across the diaspora we can relate to but also is something that is relevant only really to Remmick. That’s where I think the source of discontent would be. 
My point's about the fandom falling for Remmick's BS, taking what he said about community/fellowship seriously, when the whole jist of the film's that he's a Fake Ally, a liar, a master manipulator, and selfish AF. That can be true, tbh I don’t participate in Sinners fandom online I’m systematically convincing everyone I know to see it and forcing the dialogue in person so idk. Horrifically disappointed by the lack of Bo gifsets tho, ikik, but fine is fine. So I can understand why seeing so many people rally behind the obvious (and white) villain in a black film made to celebrate a time and uplift symbolism can cause infatuation. I can appreciate the discussion of Remmick as a villain but tbh he’s like,,, the 3rd (maybe 4th) most important plot point in the whole film. What I need a text post is how freaky the film is (6th most important) cos Coogler,,,,, like I know your girl pregnant but you need to unpack something????
Remmick is specifically targeting the storytellers/bards/musicians, and by doing so, is the very ANTITHESIS of community. It's the loss of the Elders that kills our community, the loss of the storytellers who KNOW what's up. We are LETTING the white devil kill our elders & destroy our communities. See this is super important to talk about but if I had enough time to unpack the interactions of Wakanda Forever and why I think Coogler felt the specific need to make this film, I wouldn’t have the means to. 
Stay black (i think) and blessed <3 Keep your eyes open and your doors closed.
Imma need people to stop the BS propaganda that Remmick was looking for community or whatever. Sinners' soundtrack art comes with an in-universe newspaper article dated Aug 1, 1911, describing how Remmick came to America on The Celtic Hare, a ship that sailed from Ireland to Boston, only carrying Irish immigrants. The paper said loud music was heard from the ship the night before it pulled into harbor, like a big party was happening onboard, but once the ship docked a couple hours later, everyone else onboard had died, and the only 1 survivor (Remmick) ran off. So if Remmick was so desperate to "find community" he could riverdance with, he already had it in Ireland! He already had it on The Celtic Hare! He could've found it in every predominately-Irish town or city in America and the Caribbean. No. Instead he's prowling around killing the Choctaws and KKK and African Americans, why? Cuz it's not about "community," it's about CONNECTION to one's ANCESTORS. Remmick is a vampire, so he's cursed, just like Annie said; doomed to be forever stuck on Earth with no way to reconnect with the spirits of his ancestors. Since he's undead, his soul's permanently cut off from his ancestral bonds. He's totally lost his magical/spiritual power as a Fili who can use music to pierce the veil between time, life, and death. That's why Annie demanded that Smoke kill her, rather than let her be stuck as a vampire, haint, or any other of the damned undead. Remmick keeps roaming, keeps killing, because NO ONE and NOTHING can give him "the real" connection anymore; not the Irish that went with him to America, not the Choctaw, not the white racists, not any of his Black victims--and ultimately, not Sammie, either.

hiii, more bimbo!assistant!reader calling hotch, daddy, pleaseeeee😁🫶🏻💖😇
ilyyy!! <3
Bought & Paid For - A.H
Tumblr media
summary: you push hotch's buttons just to see how far you can take it, and today, you finally find out pairings: aaron hotchner x bimbo!assistant!reader warnings: suggestive content, reader calling hotch daddy, hotch blatantly staring at r's ass, established relationship, slight brat taming undertones perhaps? wc: 0.6k
Tumblr media
You’re talking about almond milk.
Or, at least, you were talking about almond milk — now you’re on some tangent about how store-brand oat milk is never as creamy as the one from that overpriced cafe near your apartment. He has no idea how you got here. He’s not even sure you know.
Your face is full of conviction — deeply invested in a topic that no rational person should have these many feelings about. It’s… impressive. Baffling, but impressive.
Hotch should be paying better attention, filing this long-winded dairy dissertation for the next time you inevitably guilt him into fetching your morning sugar bomb like some kind of begrudging personal assistant.
He’s not oblivious to the irony.
Instead, he’s watching you slide into the passenger seat, and instead, he’s having a private moment of reflection about how you absolutely cannot wear those jeans in public. 
Because they were almost pornographic.
Because they make it very, very clear what’s beneath them which makes it very impossible to think about anything else.
Because they make him look stupid.
He had told you. Repeatedly. Jeans should not cost that much. They were jeans — denim, mass-produced, entirely unnecessary at that price point. You could buy three pairs for half the cost, and no one would know the difference. 
He looked you in the eye and declared, with absolute authority, that he would not enable this behavior.
And then you pouted. And he pulled out his wallet like an absolute disgrace to his own principles.
He was actively experiencing the consequences of his own actions in real time.
Because you’re wearing them to go grocery shopping now and he’s going to spend the next hour fighting the very real, very primal urge to knock out every man who so much as glances at what he paid for.
He hands you your purse once you’re settled, barely paying attention, already running through the mental checklist of things that need to be done before he can call this errand over.
And then you flash him a quick, unassuming smile. “Thanks, daddy.”
His fingers still on the door handle, entire body seizing, breath catching mid-inhale as his brain tries — and fails — to process whether he actually heard you correctly.
His pulse goes from stable to needing immediate medical attention in a matter of seconds.
He straightens like someone just pulled a gun on him, adjusting his watch even though it does not need adjusting. Forces himself to level you with the most unaffected look he can manage. 
“Sweetheart, that’s not appropriate.”
You blink up at him, all wide-eyed innocence that he knows is fake. “Why?”
His fingers drum once against the car before curling into metal, grip bordering on savage, white-knuckled tension bleeding into every line of his body, the only outlet for something too risky to be voiced.
It doesn’t help that you look exceedingly gorgeous in daylight. That the sun — a merciless accomplice in your destruction of him — has taken it upon itself to illuminate every detail.
That you decided today was the day to try a new blush. That you had stood in front of him this morning, asking if it made you look pretty like you didn’t already know how impassioned he felt about that answer.
Like you weren’t a loaded weapon wrapped in silk and perfume, soft where you should be sharp, lethal in ways that have nothing to do with intent.
And now, here you are, stacking problems on top of problems, and he has to somehow be the one to keep himself in check.
He exhales sharply, glancing away for a second — a brief, necessary reprieve — before settling his gaze back on you. “Because you know exactly what you’re doing, and I strongly suggest you stop.”
You bat your lashes. “I really don’t know what you mean, daddy.”
He doesn’t think — there’s no room for thought, no time between your words and his reaction. One second, you’re in the passenger seat, smirking, and the next, you’re hauled up and over his shoulder, one arm locked around your waist, and the other gripping your ass, fingers digging into the denim that started this whole damn mess.
You squirm, thrashing in the most unconvincing, unserious way imaginable, laughter spilling from your lips in delighted, unrepentant little bursts, and he knows it down to his very core that you are enjoying this far more than you should. 
And despite his better judgment, so is he.
“Hey! The groceries —,”
“Groceries can wait.”
Hotch doesn’t even pretend this trip is still happening. The moment the words left your mouth, the destination changed, the entire purpose of this errand replaced by something far more immediate and deserved.
So he spins on his heel and carries you straight back to the house with the ease of a man handling something he fully intends to deal with. 
Because this is about balance, about the fundamental laws of action and reaction, about the way you tip the scales just to see what it takes to tip them back. 
And because, if nothing else, you’ll think twice before calling him that again.

You have questions! We might have answers.
What is this collection?
As Maria puts it: this collection is a critical look at some of the things that we, the editors, think have made CQL such a hit around the world. Of course, part of that success comes from the webnovel MDZS and the show CQL themselves—we love the characters, the mystery, and the drama, who doesn’t?! However, the authors in our book also look at topics like translating danmei (both officially and unofficially), adapting danmei for new audiences, and interacting with fandoms and fanworks. The larger argument of the book is that all of these things played a huge role in CQL’s visibility and success, and we wanted to start making those moving pieces visible, especially for audiences who mainly watched CQL in translation.
You keep using the word “academic”—what does that mean, exactly? 
Maria: Ok, not to get pedantic here, but this actually touches on some things that I’m really excited about for the book. Traditionally, academic work is written by people who have a deep expertise in the subject (signified by having a PhD and doing specific kinds of research), and then the work itself is peer-reviewed (i.e., sent to other experts in the field for them to evaluate whether it’s sound, original, and interesting enough to publish, without knowing who wrote it). And both of these things are true about our book—our authors have deep knowledge and the book was peer reviewed—but also. We specifically asked for chapters from younger scholars and from fans who also have deep knowledge about topics that academia doesn’t always know or value enough, and we include an interview from the fan-translator K. who did the Exiled Rebels translation. So the hope is that: this book is academic, and also—more!
Who are you? 
Yue studies adaptation, fantasy, and popular culture texts using a feminist lens. She wrote an early, influential article about danmei adaptations and also has a book about feminist adaptations of Chinese fantasy.
Maria studies fanworks, contemporary fantasy, and genre literature. She’s scrambling to finish her dissertation right now.
How were the chapter spotlights chosen?
Voluntarily! The concept of a small social media promo was kicked around by some of the contributors and those interested in the idea filled out a short interview with what they wanted to share. We'll be posting about 2 introductions and 2 spotlights a day for the next week or so!
Who's running this social media campaign anyway?
Not the publishers! A few enthusiastic collection contributors got together and, with the assistance of the editors, have put this promotion together. We do not in any way represent Peter Lang in an official capacity! We just worked hard and wanted to share. :)
Are you making any money off of royalties from this book? 
LOL not even remotely
What about this promotion?
also no. alas
Where can I find this book? 
You can find our listing on Peter Lang’s website here. As for other retailers, a quick search should turn us up!  
How can I access this book if I cannot buy it from Peter Lang / [book retailer of choice]?
As collection editors and contributors who signed a legal agreement with Peter Lang, we have granted Peter Lang exclusive right and license to edit, adapt, publish, reproduce, distribute, display, and store our contributions, and we must cooperate fully with the Publisher if the Publisher believes a third party is infringing or is likely to infringe copyright in the contribution. 
That being said, these are academic papers, which means that contributors may make copies of the contribution for classroom teaching use! (These copies may not be included in course pack material for onward sale by libraries and institutions). Of course, any linking, collection or aggregation of chapters from the same volume is strictly prohibited.
(FAQ may be updated periodically!) (all posts on Catching Chen Qing Ling)

Thinking about making a deal with Al Haitham to let you continue your studies just until you finish your final dissertation and then you'll go with him willingly to his house without a fuss and he agrees but you're now under so much surveillance from him it's near impossible to work at all on your essay
tw - implied non/con, manipulation, financial/psychological abuse.
i think alhaitham (al haitham? does anyone have a strong opinion on that?) is the type of controlling where, for whatever reason, he just cannot let you accomplish anything that doesn't lead you back to him. want to study a dead language in the desserts of sumeru? great, he's already planned and gotten permission for a field study on the same topic in the same area, you can come along as his assistant. want to get a job that might give you enough mora to get away from him? well, with your minimal experience and nonexistent connection, the only job you could ever hope to get is as the scribe's personal secretary and since your salary will be going through him, he might as well hold it on your behalf - just to make sure your childish whims don't get the best of you and leave you as bankrupt and as hopeless as some other scholars he could name. beg him on your hands and knees to let you graduate before officially making you his basement spouse? of course. he'll watch with a smile as you do your research and conduct your studies and write your papers, only to fuck you on the ashes of your hand-written dissertation the night before you defend your thesis. he knows what's best for you. he might indulge your little fantasies every now and then, but ultimately, he'll make sure you end up where you belong - in his arms <3

Would Voldemort treat Harry any differently if he were a girl? Like do you think he’d be less violent or feel bad about treating him now her the way he has. It doesn’t seem like Voldemort feels the need to be “gentle” with girls like bellatrix and then hermione as his assistant. Seems like voldemorts kinda a feminist icon. Do you think he’d think he’s more powerful than Harry bc magically wise he is but then also being a man if his situationship/horcrox/obsession/prisoner was a woman. Idk men aren’t rlly allowed to hit women and idk if Voldemort’s ever hit Harry but throwing him into a vanity and torturing him might kinda be the equivalent.
I get asked this every so often, and the answer is technically a ‘yes’ but to answer ‘how’ is complicated. I’d have to think about what Harry would be like as a girl first, and that would mean rewriting not just NG but all seven books with a girl Harry. For me, anyway - I would need to do all that background work. Because I don’t know. I don’t know how things would have unfolded for Harry if he were a girl, but I’m sure they would be different from the beginning, and those would have ripple effects. Maybe Voldemort would take her less seriously, but I would say probably not, because I’m assuming this would mean the prophecy said ‘she’ in this AU, so Neville was not even an option. He’s likely take her very seriously if a prophecy pointed solely to her as his downfall.
would he approach defeating her differently? Maybe; again, I’d have to live the whole thing from fem Harry’s POV, but I imagine that he would… maybe more pertinent would be that Harry would approach V differently. It’s all pretty fascinating to think about, someone could probably write several dissertations on this topic, because it’s not so simple as ‘gender swap and it’s the same story’; at least I don’t think it would be, not at all. Everyone from Dudley to Draco to Snape (Snape! The most intriguing) would have treated a girl Harry differently imo.

Forgive me if this is a very elementary question (inspired after watching your TikToks!!) but… I’ve always been curious: what exactly was the role of a secretary in the Macedonian court such that Eumenes could wield so much power and influence, especially during the Successor Wars? Like, to the point that the Chilliarch, the second-in-command to the king himself, would have beef with him? I guess when I think of a secretary, I envision the more stereotypical modern version of them, which is like an executive assistant, or the front desk receptionist, or a customer service agent, which obviously seems to be anachronistic. But I’m just struggling to comprehend what would have made Eumenes, or the role he occupied, such a controversial figure.
First, let me point to an important book by my colleague, Ed(ward M.) Anson, Eumenes of Cardia: a Greek among Macedonians (2nd ed., 2015). It’s a quite excellent discussion of Eumenes’s career, and was actually Ed’s dissertation topic. I reckon, like me, he waited a long while before turning the dissertation into a monograph (even the 1st edition). Alas, it’s expensive. Even I don’t own a copy, as I have access to the university library’s. But I do recommend that folks interested request it via Interlibrary Loan (ILL). Even smaller public libraries offer that service, although you might have to pay a (relatively) small shipping fee.
Tumblr media
So, Eumenes is an interesting character in many ways. As you suggest, “secretary” gives the wrong impression. The word in Greek is grammateus, and it can mean any sort of scribe, clerk, records keeper…or the official in charge of the whole royal office: official correspondence, what letters the king actually saw, the keeping of the Royal Journal and other state records, etc., etc. A hugely influential position, his might be closer to what we’d call, in the US, the Chief of Staff.
In my opinion, that was the heart of Eumenes’s dislike of Hephaistion. I said it in my dissertation and still think it’s true. When Hephaistion was made Chiliarch, that put him above Eumenes in administration around Alexander. The Chief of Staff got demoted…and didn’t like it. It’s from Susa onward that the two men seem to clash—at least twice that we know about. (I differ with Ed on this; he thinks it was about personalities while I think it was more political- and status-driven.)
That Eumenes was loyal to Alexander—and the Argead family—isn’t in question. But it wasn’t just Hephaistion he had trouble with. We know he also didn’t like Antipatros—one reason he sided with Perdikkas, even when (his friend) Krateros joined Antipatros. He also had a long-standing family beef with Hekataios of Kardia, and later hated Kassandros (as the son of Antipatros). But he seems to have got on with Olympias and Kleopatra—who he tried to get Perdikkas to marry. Perdikkas took his advice and divorced Antipatros’s daughter Nikaia, which eventually led to his downfall. One can’t escape the sense that Eumenes was touchy. Then again, as I’ve said before, they all were. And he had to put up with being constantly looked down on both as a “mere secretary” and as a Greek among Macedonians. He advanced on Alexander’s favor…which probably made others jealous of him. In fact, I think that’s one reason he took Hephaistion’s promotion hard. He’d worked hard for Chief of Staff, and didn’t like Hephaistion butting in. And if Hephaistion was also of Greek descent (as I’ve argued), both may have had a sense that there was room only for one. Or at least Eumenes may have thought so.
Men in his position weren’t normally entrusted with military commands, but he proved to be surprisingly good and, according to Ed, probably had more army assignments during Alexander’s lifetime than he’s credited with. (He was allied with Ptolemy’s enemy, Perdikkas, remember and Ptolemy was Arrian’s chief military source.) When Perdikkas was elevated to Hephaistion’s position, Eumenes took Perdikkas’s old command, and later, was himself Chilliarch. The infantry seems to have liked/trusted him, and later, he was quite successful at securing Cappadocia. In fact, during the early Diadochi wars, it was his stratagem that defeated Krateros’ army and got him killed (perhaps to his own regret, although I think Plutarch exaggerated that account). He also fought—one-on-one—against Neoptolemos … another of Alexander’s officers he couldn’t stand. And beat him. Neoptolemos was a demonstrated military commander.
So he seems to have defied the usual expectation of what a grammateus could do—and become. He was the highest ranking Greek in Alexander’s army, the only one to really rub shoulders with the Macedonian inner circle.
EDIT: I realized I forgot Nearchos. So Eumenes AND Nearchos were the two top-ranked Greeks at Alexander's court at his death. But if anything, Eumenes had edged Nearchos in place.

Hannah Arendt,
born Johanna Arendt; 14 October 1906 – 4 December 1975) was a German-American historian and philosopher. She was one of the most influential political theorists of the 20th century.
Her works cover a broad range of topics, but she is best known for those dealing with the nature of wealth, power and evil, as well as politics, direct democracy, authority, tradition and totalitarianism. She is also remembered for the controversy surrounding the trial of Adolf Eichmann, for her attempt to explain how ordinary people become actors in totalitarian systems, which was considered by some an apologia, and for the phrase "the banality of evil." Her name appears in the names of journals, schools, scholarly prizes, humanitarian prizes, think-tanks, and streets; appears on stamps and monuments; and is attached to other cultural and institutional markers that commemorate her thought.
Hannah Arendt was born to a Jewish family in Linden (now a district of Hanover, Germany) in 1906. When she was three, her family moved to the East Prussian capital of Königsberg for her father's health care. Paul Arendt had contracted syphilis in his youth but was thought to be in remission when Arendt was born. He died when she was seven. Arendt was raised in a politically progressive, secular family, her mother being an ardent Social Democrat. After completing secondary education in Berlin, Arendt studied at the University of Marburg under Martin Heidegger, with whom she engaged in a romantic affair that began while she was his student. She obtained her doctorate in philosophy at the University of Heidelberg in 1929. Her dissertation was titled Love and Saint Augustine, and her supervisor was the existentialist philosopher Karl Jaspers.
Hannah Arendt married Günther Stern in 1929 but soon began to encounter increasing antisemitism in the 1930s Nazi Germany. In 1933, the year Adolf Hitler came to power, Arendt was arrested and briefly imprisoned by the Gestapo for performing illegal research into antisemitism. On release, she fled Germany, living in Czechoslovakia and Switzerland before settling in Paris. There she worked for Youth Aliyah, assisting young Jews to emigrate to the British Mandate of Palestine. She was stripped of her German citizenship in 1937. Divorcing Stern that year, she then married Heinrich Blücher in 1940. When Germany invaded France that year she was detained by the French as an alien. She escaped and made her way to the United States in 1941 via Portugal. She settled in New York, which remained her principal residence for the rest of her life. She became a writer and editor and worked for the Jewish Cultural Reconstruction, becoming an American citizen in 1950. With the publication of The Origins of Totalitarianism in 1951, her reputation as a thinker and writer was established, and a series of works followed.
Tumblr media
These included the books The Human Condition in 1958, as well as Eichmann in Jerusalem and On Revolution in 1963.
She taught at many American universities while declining tenure-track appointments. She died suddenly of a heart attack in 1975, at the age of 69, leaving her last work, The Life of the Mind, unfinished.

Arendt's five-part series "Eichmann in Jerusalem" appeared in The New Yorker in February 1963 some nine months after Eichmann was hanged on 31 May 1962. By this time his trial was largely forgotten in the popular mind, superseded by intervening world events. However, no other account of either Eichmann or National Socialism has aroused so much controversy. Before its publication, Arendt was considered a brilliant humanistic original political thinker. Her mentor, Karl Jaspers, however, had warned her about a possible adverse outcome, "The Eichmann trial will be no pleasure for you. I'm afraid it cannot go well". On publication, three controversies immediately occupied public attention: the concept of Eichmann as banal, her criticism of the role of Israel and her description of the role played by the Jewish people themselves.
Arendt was profoundly shocked by the response, writing to Karl Jaspers "People are resorting to any means to destroy my reputation... They have spent weeks trying to find something in my past that they can hang on me". Now she was being called arrogant, heartless and ill-informed. She was accused of being duped by Eichmann, of being a "self-hating Jewess", and even an enemy of Israel. Her critics included The Anti-Defamation League and many other Jewish groups, editors of publications she was a contributor to, faculty at the universities she taught at and friends from all parts of her life. Her friend Gershom Scholem, a major scholar of Jewish mysticism, broke off relations with her, publishing their correspondence without her permission. Arendt was criticized by many Jewish public figures, who charged her with coldness and lack of sympathy for the victims of the Holocaust. Because of this lingering criticism neither this book nor any of her other works were translated into Hebrew until 1999.[314] Arendt responded to the controversies in the book's Postscript.
Although Arendt complained that she was being criticized for telling the truth – "what a risky business to tell the truth on a factual level without theoretical and scholarly embroidery" – the criticism was largely directed to her theorizing on the nature of mankind and evil and that ordinary people were driven to commit the inexplicable not so much by hatred and ideology as ambition, and inability to empathize. Equally problematic was the suggestion that the victims deceived themselves and complied in their own destruction.[316] Prior to Arendt's depiction of Eichmann, his popular image had been, as The New York Times put it "the most evil monster of humanity" and as a representative of "an atrocious crime, unparalleled in history", "the extermination of European Jews". As it turned out Arendt and others were correct in pointing out that Eichmann's characterization by the prosecution as the architect and chief technician of the Holocaust was not entirely credible.
While much has been made of Arendt's treatment of Eichmann, Ada Ushpiz, in her 2015 documentary Vita Activa: The Spirit of Hannah Arendt, placed it in a much broader context of the use of rationality to explain seemingly irrational historical events.
In an interview with Joachim Fest in 1964, Arendt was asked about Eichmann's defense that he had made Kant's principle of the duty of obedience his guiding principle all his life. Arendt replied that that was outrageous and that Eichmann was misusing Kant, by not considering the element of judgement required in assessing one's own actions – "Kein Mensch hat bei Kant das Recht zu gehorchen" (No man has, according to Kant, the right to obey), she stated, paraphrasing Kant. The reference was to Kant's Die Religion innerhalb der Grenzen der bloßen Vernunft (Religion within the Bounds of Bare Reason 1793) in which he states:
Der Satz 'man muß Gott mehr gehorchen, als den Menschen' bedeutet nur, daß, wenn die letzten etwas gebieten, was an sich böse (dem Sittengesetz unmittelbar zuwider) ist, ihnen nicht gehorcht werden darf und soll. (The saying, "We must hearken to God, rather than to man," signifies no more than this, viz. that should any earthly legislation enjoin something immediately contradictory of the moral law, obedience is not to be rendered)
Kant clearly defines a higher moral duty than rendering merely unto Caesar. Arendt herself had written in her book "This was outrageous, on the face of it, and also incomprehensible, since Kant's moral philosophy is so closely bound up with man's faculty of judgment, which rules out blind obedience." Arendt's reply to Fest was subsequently corrupted to read Niemand hat das Recht zu gehorchen (No one has the right to obey), which has been widely reproduced, although it does encapsulate an aspect of her moral philosophy.
The phrase Niemand hat das Recht zu gehorchen has become one of her iconic images, appearing on the wall of the house in which she was born, among other places. A fascist bas-relief on the Palazzo degli Uffici Finanziari (1942), in the Piazza del Tribunale, Bolzano, Italy celebrating Mussolini, read Credere, Obbedire, Combattere (Believe, Obey, Combat). In 2017 it was altered to read Hannah Arendt's original words on obedience in the three official languages of the region.
The phrase has been appearing in other artistic work featuring political messages, such as the 2015 installation by Wilfried Gerstel, which has evoked the concept of resistance to dictatorship, as expressed in her essay "Personal Responsibility under Dictatorship" (1964).

hi there, hope ur having a good day/evening/night! im currently writing my college dissertation about accessible tourism and was wondering what was your experience with it: have you ever gone on a holiday and had to had accomodations prepared for you? if so, what kind of accomodations? if not, what sort of accomodations would be necessary for you to go out on a holiday? please excuse me if i'm too straightforward, it's just an interesting topic i've been thinking about for the past 3 months and it reminded me of you.
thank you for reading!
hi! oo interesting subject. good luck with your dissertation!! I’ll just blurt out some thoughts, idk which parts may be of interest but here we go :)
travel is hard and weird for me but i attempt it anyway! whilst my family and i always do extensive organising and checking before travel, a lot of the things hotels/airports promise us end up falling through, so we have to accept in advance that accommodations will not always work out. often we book an accessible room but then arrive to find it has steps or bulky furniture which blocks me from moving thru the room in my chair. c’est la vie
as for the specific arrangements we make… when i go anywhere i need 1-2 carers close by, so we get adjoining rooms. we call ahead to confirm that any place we’re staying is accessible and ideally has a wetroom. a lot of hotels/apartments purport to be accessible but then my wheelchair doesn’t actually fit into the bathroom. for my health condition i need to block out daylight, so we look at pics of the rooms online to make sure they have long curtains/blinds that fully close, or we call the place to ask. I legit will not go somewhere with flimsy decorative curtains ! i also can’t use overhead lights, I only use lamps (they’re dimmer & more diffuse), so if a place doesn’t appear to have dim/adjustable lamps then I won’t go. other things that are helpful to have in the room: kettle to make hot water bottles (i use them round the clock), and fridge to store liquid food for when I can’t eat regular stuff.
for car/auto travel there needs to be enough space for me to lie down in the back of the vehicle, with cushions to support me. this is possibly illegal 😻 but if i wasn’t able to do that then i couldn’t really leave my home at all, so idc. (in a magical accessible world we’d have a vehicle with a stretcher with seatbelts or smth, but this is too expensive). this sometimes means we need to use multiple vehicles despite there only being 4 of us because I take up the entire backseat of the car :/
for plane travel we prebook special assistance, which is basically mandatory if you’re a wheelchair user in an airport but it’s quite hassley and often adds an extra hour to our time at the airport bc of staffing delays and miscommunications etc. any time that we’re not actively moving through the airport, i lie down across benches (or on a blanket on the floor if needs be) in the most private areas we can find. ideally there would be a stretcher available to minimise time spent upright without making me lie in weird places but this has never been an option. but that would make travel 100x easier for me. i also have to use either an ambulift (awful👎) or tunnel (awesome👍) to get onto the plane, and an aisle chair once I’m on the plane. these require booking.
this stuff is all pretty specific to me personally, i hope it’s still an interesting perspective!

His name is Wilhelm Högel and he is the most stereotypical mad psycho scientist.
He is a repulsed, vile pervert and has megalomania and narcissism. Also, he has some anger issues that overlap with his (I don't know which word is more correct to choose) anime goofy character. Very impulsive and unpredictable.
Wilhelm does not digest society, but he still wants to be loved by someone, so he stuck a few Frankenstein girls (they belong to Eye Drops) on himself... Who don't really like him, which is why one of them eventually SAWED OF HIS HEAD.
More facts:
- He has a guinea pig centipede, which is sewn from several guinea pigs.
- Defended a dissertation on the topic of electrical conductivity of pickles and the possibility of living in a brine environment!!!!!!! By the way, his sawed head first lived in a jar of pickles.
- An orphan. Accidentally blew up my parents as a child while doing an experiment with a home volcano.
- He has a stupid robot Assistant 3000 as his assistant
