Almost 100 pages into Dialectic of Enlightenment and all they've done is prattle on about the classics.
I 'get' the connection they're making in that early human sacrifice to the gods was man's way of manipulating the gods and such acts that try to subordinate nature to the whims of man are to form the kernal of later of enlightenment thought. But when the point of the book is to analyze how enlightenment thought eventually degenerated into a society that produced modern capitalism, totalitarianism and fascism I feel actually engaging with the world as is, i.e. drawing concrete connections as to how this happened, would be more beneficial than masturbating over the myth of Odysseus. I'm guessing it picks up in quality when he starts talking about the culture industry.
Is Minima Moralia similar to the Dialectic of Enlightenment or is it more readable?
Also when is he going to hurry up and get to the part about weaponizing trannies to destroy the white race.

Adorno is an elitist. The worst of the Frankfurt school, a hack. Read Walter Benjamin or Erich Fromm, just don't bother with Adorno...

D&E is notoriously obtuse, I'm a huge fan of Walter Benjamin and went into it expecting the same sort of ideas Benjamin throws around and the book has been sitting on the shelf for the past 2 years.
And no, weaponizing trannies is not a Frankfurt School thing, /pol/ is N E V E R right

Minima moralia is a muçh different work. It is far more whimsical. It is a collection of thought fragments, rather than a collection of essays circling around the same theme. DE is in the middle as far às Àdorno being methodical goes. Negative Dialectics is more strictly philosophical but is much more difficult than even DE. MM is easy. The Stars Down to Earth is underrated Àdorno. Very accessible and rigorous.

FS may not have advocated weaponizing trannies but they helped usher in the Left's current obsession with identity and disregard for class. Adorno's Authoritarian Personality is a fuck you to the working class and Marcuse's works legitimized the upper-middle class SJW politics that now dominate college campuses.
