Adorno really liked this Oswald Spengler's work.
Do you guys know why, I haven't been able to find a satisfying answer?
Adorno on Oswald Spengler
Luis Scott
Christopher Green
Did you read his essay on Spengler in the Prisms?
Brayden Davis
Going out on a limb, I'd say because both were bitter pessimists of the "everything was better in the old days" type.
Blake Clark
Adorno was anti-enlightenment, so fuck him.
Landon Morris
Why? Enlightenment thinking is utopian and idealist as fuck.

The Frankfurt School were actually heavily influenced by reactionary thought.
Adorno loved Spengler. Benjamin was into German Romanticism in the beginning, was heavily anti-Enlightenment/anti-technology, and even had a mini friendship with Carl Schmitt (Jewish thought is generally pretty opposed to modernity). Marcuse loved reactionary literature and said aristocratic culture was superior to even hippie underground culture. Fromm was HIGHLY critical of the 60s free love movement.
Makes the "cultural Marxism" meme even the more ridiculous.
Kevin Ramirez
none of this makes him a reactionary tbh (at least not in his later and better-known works). Criticism of technology doesn't have to be reactionary at all. Being friends with someone doesn't mean you agree with them on everything
Ryder Lewis
