Hannah Arendt wrote a victim-blaming essay ft. sad attempts to humanize & defend Adolf Eichmann in "Eichmann in Jerusalem".

In this part, she defended him with saying he committed no crimes since nothing he did was a crime in nazi Germany and he was just doing his job. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😐" title="Neutrales Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Neutrales Gesicht">

She had a relationship with Martin Heidegger. She was a literal nazi fucker. She supported euro-colonialism & as the civil rights movement happened in the U.S. she said & #39;... [racial] discrimination has greater validity than the principle of equality& #39;.

Her pathetic and delusional notion of the "banality of evil" has caused such widespread and irreparable damage to so many people& #39;s understanding of the German nazis and of fascism in general. Stop listening to and quoting Hannah Arendt.

Just to add to this, that& #39;s not even to get into the fact that she literally and openly hated eastern Jewish people. She was just an overall shit person in every way.
