Reposted by Ro. An. Valen.Sal 🇵🇸🇺🇦 @sal46.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I prefer Schmitt to Heidegger. Heidegger was a true fascist; he desired salvation from thought in the quiescent ‘Being’ of the Reich, whereas the Nazis got pissed off with Schmitt for being way too much of a hermeneutist of suspicion. He’s one of these reactionaries who almost goes so far in.. 211
Ro. An. Valen. @anrova.bsky.social · 29/09/2026While this is true, it's also important to understand the elements of Jungian nonduality precluded by too quick of an associative label. My fave example is Carl Schmitt. Nazi-like ideas? Oh HELL yes. Correct and super important observation of tensions and weaknesses in liberal democracy? Also yes. 021
