Loneliness and Totalitarianism

Arendt (as a woman) thinks it's "loneliness" that facilitates the rise of totalitarianism. No, it's the destruction of community, especially male fraternity, and republicanism (by the state and its oligarchy), and the exploitation by the state of men looking for meaning that leads to totalitarianism. Totalitarianism is just the next stage of the development of the state.

"Community groups" imply that there is no real unity. If there is no real unity and there are fears about the abuse by a city's or county's law enforcement officers, then separation is a better answer. I have no reason to expect "community groups" to promote those who are worthy to this oversight position -- even if they claim it is more "democratic," that is a negative, not a positive. In most places, abuse by LEOs is both a problem of diversity and of governance: both must be addressed.

Carter Snead's New Book

What It Means to Be Human

Argh early-morning typos. https://t.co/1hK46oTv5H

— Sohrab Ahmari (@SohrabAhmari) October 13, 2020

Snead wrote this for the NY Post: To heal America’s wounds, we need to recall that we belong to one another

His book on bioethics is probably good. But he is unprepared for identity politics. He implicitly recognizes that there are natural affinities:

We need an anthropology that recognizes that we come into the world as living bodies, embedded in families, communities, and histories that, as philosopher Michael Sandel says, we “neither summon nor command.”

And if conflicts should arise between different identity groups? Calls such as this for friendship, or even civility, will not suffice. When one is a professional intellectual, authentic community is generally lacking, so academics write of things they have not experienced.

A better anthropology and, therefore, a better politics must facilitate the creation of what the philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre calls “networks of uncalculated giving and graceful receiving,” in which we make the goods of others our own. To create and sustain such networks, we must practice the virtues of just generosity, hospitality, misericordia (accompaniment of others in their suffering), gratitude, humility, openness to the unbidden, tolerance of imperfection, solidarity, respect for dignity and honesty.

In other words, we must embrace the virtues of authentic friendship. We must remember our embodiment and what it means. And then, God willing, we will remember that we belong to one another.

They may think they have some sort of community with (some of) their colleagues, but how many of their colleagues would pass the zombie apocalypse thought experiment/test and qualify as true friends? Even if they do have (male) friends who pass that test, how many such friends do they have? Probably not even enough to fill a rifle platoon. And yet they think they are qualified to talk about community, "bcuz credential." They may think they have some sort of community with (some of) their colleagues, but how many of their colleagues would pass the zombie apocalypse thought experiment/test and qualify as true friends? The same criticism could be levelled at those associated with the American Solidarity Party. I don't expect much from professional (D) and (R) pols. But if the ASP wants to advertise itself as being different, there better be some actual basis for it, other than some sort of identity as Christian Democrats or adherence to Roman Catholic Social Teaching. Prove yourselves the trad. and natural way, not with mass politics.

A Controlled Opposition Intellectual at Work

Hazony writes this:

Conservatism is based on inculcating norms—“guardrails”—that decent people follow instinctively because it’s how they were raised.

Liberalism teaches every individual to define reality and justice for themselves. That sounds good, but paves the way for Marxism and desolation.

— Yoram Hazony (@yhazony) October 12, 2020

And yet he thinks a tactical alliance between the two groups is possible:

There can't be a "fusion" between conservatism and Enlightenment liberalism. The two things don't mix.

There must be an alliance between conservatives and liberals to fight the new Marxism. But conservatives will have to stay conservatives without "fusing" with something else.

— Yoram Hazony (@yhazony) October 12, 2020

That's because he's controlled opposition and may even want to neuter conservatism even more.

We don't need more people who want a turn running the state because they think they're especially qualified (in this case, because they believe in some version of RC Social Teaching, are Christian Democrats, etc.) The people who are associated with the ASP, afaik, have no experience building up true communities -- they wouldn't pass the zombie apocalypse thought experiment/test because they probably couldn't find enough friends to fill a platoon, much less, a company, true friends who would cover they're back in an actual conflict. Think you are worthy of political leadership? Prove it the natural way, instead of relying on modern political machines.

I don't give the (D)s and (R)s a pass for being the sort of people who would seek power but I don't expect much from the people and currently there are few exceptions who would surpass my expectations in a good way. Having the "right ideas" is not enough to make you different from the typical (D)s and (R)s and I expect more from those who think they are offering an alternative, even an alternative way of understanding the political life. What's your experience in living this alternative?
