Bauman writes, "Once the problem of the guilt of the Holocaust perpetrators has been by and large settled . . . the one big remaining question is the innocence of all the rest—not the least the innocence of ourselves."Among the conditions that made the mass extermination of the Holocaust possible, according to Bauman, the most decisive factor was modernity itself. Bauman's provocative interpretation counters the tendency to reduce the Holocaust to an episode in Jewish history, or to one that cannot be repeated in the West precisely because of the progressive triumph of modern civilization. He demonstrates, rather, that we must understand the events of the Holocaust as deeply rooted in the very nature of modern society and in the central categories of modern social thought.
Anyone read this?
>nobody but israel can be trusted with advanced technology including but not limited to the internet and nuclear weapons
hmmmm
>Bauman was born to non-observant Polish Jewish family in Poznań, Poland, in 1925.
Where is this said?
in my post, just now, divining his motives
Wow, and yet he says something much more subversive to the Jewish situation than any polfag.
>ull joos bad
not really, the quotation in OP just boils down to "never again"
Lol, learn to read, poltard.
It's really annoying when Zionists(more precisely Jewish Ethno-Nationalists) purposely try to keep the holocaust in the public consciousness (even though very few people remember it) and are trying to constantly convince everyone that the Jewish people have been eternal victims. The Holocaust isn't the only mass tragedy of the 20th century. The Great Leap Forward had over 4 times the body count of the holocaust but nobody ever talks about it.

no u
tired talking point, even if it's true. i can tell you have no original thoughts. your appeal to what you believe is a shared moral framework is pathetic.
STFU Identitarian
idk who that is and your reply is so trite that i cant even tell which poster to ascribe it to
God, you people are fucking stupid.
This has nothing to do with his position at all. He is not a zionist, not even close:
>In a 2011 interview in the Polish weekly, "Polityka", Bauman criticised Zionism and Israel, saying Israel was not interested in peace and that it was "taking advantage of the Holocaust to legitimize unconscionable acts". He compared the Israeli West Bank barrier to the walls of the Warsaw Ghetto where hundreds of thousands of Jews had died in the Holocaust.
>The Great Leap Forward had over 4 times the body count of the holocaust but nobody ever talks about it.
That's because no one cares about individual Chinese honestly. People only pretend to care because they are like nine digits of them.
You really think that boils down to 'Never Again'?
"Beware! There are structures in place which might autonomously perpetuate genocide" sounds a lot like "never again" to me.
You're too young to be on this board.
>He compared the Israeli West Bank barrier to the walls of the Warsaw Ghetto where hundreds of thousands of Jews had died in the Holocaust.
Yeah, a cosmopolitan Jew trying to steal the moral highground from nationalist Jews, all of whom are seeking to justify their various Jewish Supremacist agendas
supremely epic
try making an argument, dumbass.
Fucking embarrassing.
Hitler was shit at strategy and war, just so you know.
maybe in six million years, when you've calmed down, you'll be able to make a pertinent reply
>Hitler was shit at strategy and war, just so you know.
Too many people believe this BS. Hitler wasn't shit at strategy. All his tactical decisions make sense when you realize that that due to an embargo, Germany was critically low on gasoline. Invading Russia wasn't stupid, it was a last hail mary to get gasoline.
>no gas
>better go to war I guess
lol
The problem is that the Jews want to treat the Holocaust as some unique historical event which is wrong. Ethnic mass murder is commonplace throughout human history the only difference is that once the Holocaust rolled around we had reached a high enough level of society that a) the area is occurred in had a population density high enough for millions to die. B) the victims had the means to make their stories known. C) it occurred in Europe, making it culturally relevant to us.
There are a number of genocides in the 20th century that rival the Holocaust (on a relative scale) but no one cares about nignogs.
>Hitler wasn't shit at strategy.
Somewhat true, though he did become ever more erratic towards 43-44
>Invading Russia wasn't stupid, it was a last hail mary to get gasoline.
No it wasn't, the entire point was to knock them out of the war fast, like with Poland and France. The move south and east in 42 after they failed to take Moscow, was indeed a gambit to acquire oil to continue the war while simultaneously denying it to the opponent, at that point a quick victory was out of the question, but it was not the goal of the invasion. Most of his decisions made sense, Germany was simply not in a strong enough position to defeat the USSR under Stalin so it was a losing struggle from the onset.
Not an argument.
Polfags asleep? Can we discuss this now?
Ayyyy tones, why ain't the chimney attached to the building?
>Most of his decisions made sense
With the issue being his obsession with an international Jewish conspiracy dominating his worldview; causing him to dive headlong into those losing struggles to begin with.
