The Assassination of Charlie Kirk
A warning from history
In 1938, a Jewish teenager assassinated Ernst vom Rath, a German diplomat in Paris. This triggered a series of events leading to Kristallnacht and the incarceration of 26k Jewish men in concentration camps. Today we are at a similar tipping point. davidlivingstonesmith.substack.com/p/the-assasi...

Donate to Support James Draper's New Beginning, organized by David Livingstone Smith
Fifteen years ago, I received a letter from prisoner named James Draper,… David Livingstone Smith needs your support for Support James Draper's New Beginning
Functionally illiterate after graduating from high school, James developed a passionate interest in science and philosophy while in prison. His aim now is, as he puts it, to "bring philosophy to the streets."

I am reaching out to you again to invite you to contribute to my fundraiser for James Draper. James has been incarcerated in California for more than forty years, and is now due to be released. He has been my long-distance student for the past fifteen years.

Many of my students do not read assignments. Some try to read but do not have the cognitive skills . So, it occurred to me that I should teach intro to philosophy with no required reading, only recommended reading. This might even motivate some students to read stuff.

The Nazis had a word “Gleichschaltung”— “bringing into alignment.” A pastor who lived during the Hitler years described it vividly. “One would be pushed further, step by step, until he had crossed over the line, without noticing that his spine was being bent millimeter by millimeter.”
