PBS American Masters: Hannah Arendt

I'm only 20 minutes in and the parallels of the current politics of the US to Nazi Germany are making my skin crawl.

Anyone else watch it? What did you think?

Haven't watched it, but I've listened to a couple of podcasts covering her life and philosophy this past year and she was THAT bitch.

There were a couple of things later in life that got her into hot water with the libs – she opposed violent student protests in the '60s and federal intervention in school desegregation – but overall, her insights into totalitarianisms far outweigh all that.
