For someone who is "into the humanities" you ignore the fact that the Frankfurt school were some of the first who were actively rejecting this posturing towards reason. The "Dialectic of Enlightenment" is a treatise on the problems of rationality. It was written pre-WW2, as Hitler came to power. And it was quite correct in that this obsession with brunt progress was a fire that caused the Third Reich to rise up. It's very similar to what's happening right now, so please don't muddy up this discussion by saying that it's all witchcraft because it makes you sound like you are just spewing Ben Shapiro.

I didn't say I'm "into the humanities" and it was only meant to be a brief summary. I don't really see how any of this refutes what I said. I've never watched a Ben Shapiro video in my life.

The Nazis came from the anti-Enlightenment tradition. The Völkische movement was not rationalist - it was a mystical movement, which you can see in its obsession with ancient German paganism.
