just to add smth, I was reading about Isnotreal's vertical occupation - the air is consumed with drones of precision killing, the land is full of occupation pockets, riddled with bombs and caterpillars. the underground, which was considered the last safe space for Palestinians, used by regular civilians for years, was also bombed under the ruse of eliminating resistance fighters. the use of tunnels made me think of how both sides are using architecture differently, ordinary citizens used those tunnels because imagine living with war hovering over your head for decades. the very air they breathed was made toxic - affecting the vitality of generations to come. precision killing was perfected by genocidal maniacs almost a century ago and every Palestinian has lived with it ever since.

You know everything done against the Palestinians is the result of the their reluctance to recognize our rights as humans but also our national rights to self determination and safety in our home. Since the very beginning zionism was willing to give up on important Jewish cities such as Hebron, Scheme, Tzfat and even Jerusalem to establish the state of Israel to first and foremost save jews from antisemitism, and to resurrect our people on our homeland, while the arabs had none of it. Trying to ethnically cleanse a people and doing the most horrific senseless jihadist terror against them for decades while refusing any offer to move on and have peace cancels your right to whine about it. You live in a military occupation? Well you shouldn’t have shot people on the street. You don’t get all the products you want? Well you shouldn’t have elected hamas into power. These guys are muslim brotherhood jihadists like the most reactionary fascist muslims and they elected them. So why should Israel allow free flow of products and people? Do you know Egypt also does this? They also don’t want to feed the monster. You turn a blind eye to the facts that don’t suit you. Btw I’d say palestinian is a fake identity invented to combat jewish nationalism. They were just all part of Arab nationhood before Israel. Palestine is also the name given to Judea after the war with Rome that ended in the Jewish explosion that lasted almost 2000 years. Israel is one of the most successful decolonization stories in history maybe only after the Iberian reconqista. It would have been another Syria or Yemen but it returned to its rightful owners and Israel now is a beautiful, happy, innovative, and free place with great people and culture. You should celebrate it, instead of crying crocodile tears on the reactionary barbaric islamists that invented a peoplehood and convinced you that it would be good to ruin all the good that Israel is and replace it with their reactionary flavor of ISIS.

Sir, can you please explain if I am dealing with the Indian diaspora in the United States of America- Will the Indian diasporic life be considered as hybridized since the U.S. and India both remained as the colonized parts back in the past. There is no concept of higher and lower authority here, then.

One more thing, I find it particularly interesting and compelling that Foucault observes what I believe Nietzsche observed about morality, that even when you flip the system on its head, your version of right is still in relation to the version of the oppressor, even and especially if your version is the complete opposite. For example, to hate the rich but then to define good by the opposite of rich, you're still admitting to the system set in place that monetary value entails personal value. What I sincerely wonder is if Chomsky understood and accepted this, or if he merely overlooked it.

You're the only one I've seen so far who actually seems to have actually seen/paid attention to/gotten the point of that debate. So many videos I've seen from popular channels that talk about disagreements between the two of them that didn't actually happen. They agreed on most things but were taking completely irreconcilable frameworks. To Chomsky limits made creativity possible, and to Foucault (to oversimplify) limits make it impossible. I don't see how they ever come to truly common ground after that. Foucault seemed to have a deep psychological disdain for all traces of hypocrisy (ironic in many ways). Chomsky was far more utilitarian in that aspect and willing to tolerate certain levels of hypocrisy for what he considered a common net benefit. This debate was far more interesting than most videos on the subject make it look, but you captured it nicely.

Chomsky says that what they are saying is EITHER trueisms, OR incomprehencible, OR wrong... And he is absolutely correct in that.

The story of 1200 israeli victims is the story of Israel. The dogma of Hannibal of the israeli army means that an helicopter of the IDA bombed israeli captives and Hamas people who took refuge in kibuts . In fact some observers gave the figure of 400 victims which a reasonable figure considering the size of the festival. Propaganda of the israeli authorities addeded the figure of 500 policeman and military to suit the figure of 1200. Israel is always contructed on lies 😮😮

my favorite binary is "non-binary": being either binary or not.

Hi David, I've been listening to a lot of your videos! Can you expand on the idea that the state freeze people in time and place that you mention @ 21 minutes?

Hi David, I'm a Palestinian Arab living in exile. As an Arab I must thank you but remind you that we have a lot of capacity for evil as well. I can't relate to most of my culture and indeed anti semitism is a part of our identity. up to the point that we have not overcome nationalism in favour of humanism none of this would end. I hope you also try to educate my fellow Arabs and not focus only on the Israeli side. keep up the good work. much love.

Good stuff as always!!

A whole new world of anti oppression, non/decolonization, liberatory thought. Thanks you so much for the rundown. I'm looking forward to reading the book. 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Of the many recondite philosophical texts, hegels are NOT ones I would call ‘difficult to read.’ The concepts are complex sure, but in fact it is a pure pleasure to read him.

This does not appear on the Spotify feed

whenever the exam comes, i always go to ur channel cz your explanations are easier to understand. thank you soo much🤗

It’s misleading to compare the limits of our understanding with different people having different tastes. Kant is describing human understanding - we all have the exact same limits on this level.

Hey good content and summary. Something thats missing (maybe only for me) could be a critique of dilemmas such as the trollyproblem. (Maybe Continental reflections on that matter aswell). Gj tho!

Where can we find this text?

Great hands.

You are talking about two non-scientists as if they think like scientists do. Butler's strange ideas are a result of her own traumatic childhood experiences with gender. Foucault was probably trying to understand the power of sex in saunas and sex clubs. (Passion of Michael Foucault). Gender is artificial? Gender is the Cognitive Structure that represents Biological Sex. There is also a Cognitive Structure that represents "race" which varies depending on the culture. We have Cognitive Structures for the concept of a "door". We don't bring into out minds the physical object but we construct a representation of it. But sex and gender are intimately linked, unlike what Gender ideology says. Plus, gender ideology is dead in the water because it's based on ridiculous ideas such as "born in the wrong body". People must listen to rational people, like Helen Joyce, who is a PhD in Mathematics, later a journalist an d now an author. Mathematicians need to master the art of think rationally, otherwise they wouldn't make. Anybody can talk like Foucault or Butler, just a word salad that can never be proven. I don't agree with Foucault's work with regards to sexuality. I don't think that Sexual Orientation exists, and that people are gay or straight. Nobody is straight and nobody is gay. Only the encounters c an be heterosexual or homosexual, not the people. "For nearly a century the term homosexual in connection with human behavior has been applied to sexual relationships, either overt or psychic, between individuals of the same sex... It would encourage clearer thinking on these matters if persons were not characterized as heterosexual or homosexual, but as individuals who have had certain amounts of heterosexual experience and certain amounts of homosexual experience. Instead of using these terms as substantives which stand for persons, or even as adjectives to describe persons, they may better be used to describe the nature of overt sexual relations, or of the stimuli to which an individual erotically responds." Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (Kinsey, et al., 1948, p.656)

What happend on October 7 led to the situation right now. People of Gaza should take responsibility for their actions.

What’s Palestine?

You should make a decolonial theory vs post-colonial theory episode.

23:54 If I watch a movie, I will often be considering my review while watching the movie. I’ll think “hmm, this is pretty good, 3.5 stars.” Same for books and shows etc. Am I wrong in saying that this is an example of the anticipated meaning you are referring to?

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the good work 🙏

The recent movie “Devs” aka “Deus” - is about the perfect crime. Watch it and discuss. Would be great. 🎉

A Nazi hiding behind the lingua of "freedom and justice"

Thank you for this! Those who for one reason (read, excuse) or another say, "It's complicated," should watch this video.

Excellent. 🎉

I fail to understand the last point. Abstracting like this is often done, It makes the moral problem clearer and isolates for variables of interest while holding everything else equal. Why would someone's experience be enough, these things need to have an argument made for and against; abstractions such as these are good vehicle for those arguments. Otherwise interesting video.

Your channel is an invaluable resource to me, thank you for your work!

Thank you David for your awesome work, as always! As a Palestinian who has never stepped foot in the homeland, I appreciate that you don't just approach critical theory from an abstract angle, but really try to bridge the gap between philosophy and reality. 💗 ☺️

Way to put lipstick on that pig! Heidegger is garbage, but I guess there is a market in explaining garbage. Maybe a clue that he is garbage might be (not sure?) that he was an unrepentant Nazi. Might be a clue. And don't give me crap about dissociating the man from his philosophy. That is a contradiction in terms.

Just replace the word gender with personality.

Very well explained.❤

Thank you so much for doing this! You are a great person.

Today I learned Nietzsche discovered and fleshed out C-PTSD over a hundred years before anyone else lmao. Holy shit. Nietzsche is fucking brilliant. I relate SO hard to all of this.

You are forgetting that after Israel won its statehood, it tried to be a peaceful entity in the middle east and give Palestine it’s autonomy. The Palestinians, instead of trying to live in peace, let terrorists run their land and have repeatedly attacked Israel. To that point, how could a Palestinian run for the government of Israel? I don’t think a Mexican-born person can become the president of the United States. It’s important to understand Israel tried to give the Palestinians their autonomy, and they weren’t happy with the terms. It’s tragic that there was a conflict in the area to begin with, but if the rulers of Palestine really cared about their population, they would do what’s best for their people… unlike using civilians as human shields. Free the people, stop the war.

Thank you! Put the book on my to-read list!! :)

Hey buddy, you're doing fine. Check out Tony Greenstein's exhaustively resesrched and comprehensive history of the origins and development of Zionism. As a scholar you should have a copy for reference. There is an interview with TG on Electronic Intefada that gives an excellent overview of his research. Truly the last hurrah of European nationalism, so-called racial science, and Anglo-Saxon settler colonialism. Its special relationship to fascist ideologies and governments up to and through the Jewish Holocaust, as detailed from original sources, has made the book virtually unpublishable.

As soon as the Palestinian government accepts a two-state policy and stops attacking Israel then we'll see progress for both sides.

Well , culturally to the people of the Abrahamic faiths - ( and others Buddhists, Hindus , Sikh etc.) are harmed or marginalized when the word "gay" is used in a narrow "culturally colonizing progressive" context that implies / enforces a false equivalence upon Abrahamic peoples - ( and others Buddhists, Hindus , Sikh etc.) or false cultural equivalency between a Heterosexual intergenerational/ biological cultural reality, as defined by Abrahamic cultures - ( and others Buddhists, Hindus , Sikh etc.) and "gay' homoerotic cultures. It is an example of an informal fallacy in which the false equivalence between such two subjects based on flawed, contextually, limited, censored or false reasoning. This fallacy is categorized as a fallacy of inconsistency. Colloquially, a false equivalence is often called "comparing apples and oranges." The fact is most people on EARTH do not live in a country that supports such false cultural equivalence , or have fallen for the western "culturally colonizing progressive politics " as measured by the number of countries that have fully legalized gay marriage , a total of only twenty-four nations, of 195 . .worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/countries-where-gay-marriage-is-legal.....

This concept shows that queerness is a temporal fabrication and not an eternal reality

thats fouseytube's sister

This is great thank you!

Thank you

Thanks for presenting this work

Thank you so much! This concept was stumping me. Great video ☺️
