Carl Jung Psychoanalyzes Hitler: “He’s the Unconscious of 78 Million Germans.” “Without the German People He’d Be Nothing” (1938)

Carl Jung Psychoanalyzes Hitler: “He’s the Unconscious of 78 Million Germans.” “Without the German People He’d Be Nothing” (1938)

Were you to google “Carl Jung and Nazism”—and I’m not sug­gest­ing that you do—you would find your­self hip-deep in the charges that Jung was an anti-Semi­te and a Nazi sym­pa­thiz­er. Many sites con­demn or exon­er­ate him; many oth­ers cel­e­brate him as a blood and soil Aryan hero. It can be nau­se­at­ing­ly dif­fi­cult at times to tell these accounts apart. What to make of this con­tro­ver­sy? What is the evi­dence brought against the famed Swiss psy­chi­a­trist and one­time close friend, stu­dent, and col­league of Sig­mund Freud? Truth be told, it does not look good for Jung. Unlike Niet­zsche, whose work was delib­er­ate­ly bas­tardized by Nazis, begin­ning with his own sis­ter, Jung need not be tak­en out of con­text to be read as anti-Semit­ic. There is no irony at work in his 1934 paper The State of Psy­chother­a­py Today, in which he mar­vels at Nation­al Social­ism as a “for­mi­da­ble phe­nom­e­non,” and writes, “the ‘Aryan’ uncon­scious has a high­er poten­tial than the Jew­ish.” This is only one of the least objec­tion­able of such state­ments, as his­to­ri­an Andrew Samuels …

“Duracell Bunny” Tom Tugendhat Strives To Show He’s More Than Just The “Posh” One Nation Tory

“Duracell Bunny” Tom Tugendhat Strives To Show He’s More Than Just The “Posh” One Nation Tory

9 min read29 September A British-French dual national, a Roman Catholic with Jewish ancestry who studied Islamic theology at university, Tom Tugendhat is many things to all people. The former security minister is firmly marked as a One Nation candidate, but has been branching out to find support, even if most is outside of Parliament. The biography Tom Tugendhat, 51, was born to French mother Blandine de Loisne and British father Sir Michael, an eminent High Court judge now retired. His uncle Christopher was a former Conservative MP and European commissioner, now sitting in the Lords. Tugendhat, it’s safe to say, is from classic Tory stock. His paternal grandfather came to the UK from Vienna to study, converting from Judaism to Catholicism when he married. It wasn’t until Tugendhat entered Parliament, after experiencing questioning of his surname, that he really considered himself Jewish. Growing up in London and Sellindge in Kent, he attended top private school St Paul’s in the capital, and went on to study theology at Bristol University, followed …

Trump Sounds Like He’s Dying Inside as He Shills New Digital Trading Cards

Trump Sounds Like He’s Dying Inside as He Shills New Digital Trading Cards

“You all know what they are, we’ve had a lot of fun with them.” Sad Sack In a new video, ex-president Donald Trump is a shell of his former boisterous self as he shills a new collection of his laughably ugly digital trading cards. Posted on X-formerly-Twitter, Trump seems barely able to muster any enthusiasm when boasting that he has some “very exciting news” about the latest drop of his non-fungible token (NFT) trading cards. “By popular demand, I am doing a new series of Trump digital trading cards,” the GOP candidate mutters in the strange video. “You all know what they are, we’ve had a lot of fun with them.” In the video, Trump wheezes that if one buys 15 of the $99-apiece digital collectibles, they’ll receive a physical trading card in the mail that is said to contain a part of what he’s calling his “knock-out” suit that he wore when he was shot at a rally earlier this summer. They can also purchase packages that feature tickets to one of his galas, …

He Made a Movie About Humans Rising Up Against AI. Now He’s Doing the Real Thing

When I interviewed writers and actors at the picket lines of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes last year, there was a mix of sentiment around AI, which, while largely negative, encompassed anxiety, uncertainty, equivocation, and anger. The crowd in Burbank was the most uniformly and passionately anti-AI I’ve ever witnessed. Asked for his thoughts on how AI was impacting his industry, one animator said, “AI can fuck right off.” I asked the storyboard artists Lindsey Castro and Brittany McCarthy for their thoughts on AI, and both simply booed. A year after the WGA strikes, AI was not, to the animation workers I spoke with, something to be questioned or experimented with—it was something to be opposed. An animation worker walked by with a sign referencing the master animator Hayao Miyazaki’s comment that using AI in the arts is “an insult to life itself.” It was sweltering, even at 5 pm, as Rianda took the stage to emcee. He introduced a series of writers, directors, and animation legends like Rebecca Sugar, Genndy Tartakovsky, and James Baxter, …

Thug’s threat to cops as he’s sent down

Thug’s threat to cops as he’s sent down

Twin brothers who formed a ‘pack’ and ‘hunted’ down a rival gang member – shooting him in the leg – have been convicted of attempted murder. James Byrne, the gunman, and his twin Curtis Byrne, used electric bikes to track their target near a social club before firing six bullets at him. The incident followed another event in which a third defendant was hit by a car and a separate episode involving shots fired at a drug dealer on the street. One of the Byrne twins later leapt out of a bedroom window when police arrived at his mother’s home, reports the Liverpool Echo. Three men went on trial at Liverpool Crown Court, facing charges of attempted murder and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life. The 22-year-old Byrne brothers were unanimously found guilty of these charges. Another man was acquitted of both counts and the lesser charge of wounding with intent.

Nigel Farage has just proven that he’s not a serious leader

Nigel Farage has just proven that he’s not a serious leader

Nigel Farage’s analysis of Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine could hardly be more wrong. He claims that Nato and EU expansion was provocative. In fact it was Western weakness and timidity that encouraged Putin’s aggression in 2022. Rather than making any attempt to oppose Russia’s seizure of Crimea in 2014, or helping Ukraine to do so, Western governments called on Kyiv to take no action that might lead to escalation. In spirit, it was a foreshadowing of Joe Biden’s offer in February 2022 to give President Zelensky a ride out of Ukraine. When Putin saw the West was unwilling to confront him, he rapidly followed up with aggression in the Donbas. In the face of that, Europe desperately sought to revert as soon as possible to business as usual with Russia, even taking steps to increase energy dependence. Seeing he had nothing to fear, an assessment reinforced by Nato’s abandonment of Afghanistan, Putin returned to the charge in Ukraine in February 2022. To give credence to Putin’s frequently trotted out excuse for starting this war …

Gordon Ramsay says he’s ‘lucky to be alive’ after bike accident – and thanks his helmet | Ents & Arts News

Gordon Ramsay has said he is “lucky to be alive” after a “really bad accident” riding his bike in the US. The TV chef, 57, warned his 7.6 million followers on X and 17 million on Instagram to “wear a helmet” after the incident in Connecticut this week. He thanked the “incredible trauma surgeons, doctors, and nurses” at the state’s private Lawrence and Memorial Hospital, but said he is “most thankful for my helmet that saved my life”. In a video, he revealed a huge bruise covering much of his torso and said: “I’m lucky to be standing here. “I am in pain, it’s been a brutal week, but I am sort of getting through it.” X This content is provided by X, which may be using cookies and other technologies.

‘He’s been silly, hasn’t he?’: Welshpool voters on Craig Williams’ election bet | General election 2024

‘He’s been silly, hasn’t he?’: Welshpool voters on Craig Williams’ election bet | General election 2024

They don’t get too many political scandals in Welshpool. Repairs to a canal bridge were the most eye-catching agenda item at the last full town council meeting. But the place was abuzz on Thursday with talk of why on earth its local lad done good, Craig Williams, Rishi Sunak’s closest parliamentary aide, had placed a bet on a July election three days before the prime minister named the date. “He’s been silly, hasn’t he?” said Paul Alexander, who runs a hardware and camping shop on the main street of the mid-Wales town, down the road from Williams’ white-washed constituency office. “It’s not a great look. It feels a bit greedy. He’s risking his political future on a flutter.” Opposite, a woman came out of the Coral betting shop having placed a wager on a horse. “Why didn’t he get someone else to put a bet on for him if it was going to be embarrassing?” she asked. The woman asked not to be named for two reasons: her husband doesn’t realise she bets, and she …
