>Modern industrial society (both capitalist and communist) creates "one-dimensional" people who are absorbed into the system. Their desires, opinions, and even sense of freedom are shaped by mass media, consumerism, and technology. People feel free, but their thinking is flattened and critical opposition is neutralized.

Okay fair enough. But how do they jump from this premise to this "solution".

They see Nazism as the logical conclusion of Enlightenment thinking, so by that stretch, anything pro-white is also demonized. They're wrong however, Nazism has more in common with mystic paganism than anything hyper-rationalized.

It's the sort of retardation that takes genuine intelligence. Dumb people can believe some ridiculously stupid shit; but it takes real intelligence to headfuck yourself the way the Frankfurt theorists did.

This was not "their" conclusion. I don't know why halfwit stormfags are so obsessed with this particular group of old philosophers they don't even understand.

They just need a bogeyman to explain modern identity politics and the Frankfurt School were a bunch of Jewish intellectuals who fled Nazi Germany. A lot of what they were critiquing was actually mass culture which they saw conformist and authoritarian and how dissent also gets commodified and resold back as lifestyle or fashion.

It's more a kind of Marxist idea that things have inner contradictions which cause them to turn into their opposites. The Enlightenment sought to liberate humanity through reason, and part of that was man gaining mastery over nature, which the Frankfurt School guys saw as also leading to a tendency to dominate people (so the Enlightenment turned into its opposite). The Nazis had a bureaucracy too which classified people into rigid categories that could be calculated. The Nazis were definitely into mystic paganism but this was a "myth" that was combined with hyper-modern industrial techniques that integrated people into a "system"

No shit, i know well enough about dialectics. But how does Foucault and the other French Nietzscheans compare to Frankfurt? They seem similar but there's got to be differences.

Zionism and Nationalism are just extensions of paganism which the Christian church tried to snuff out around the time of Charlemagne.
