"I am truly of the opinion that the third world is exactly what I said, an ideology or an illusion. Africa, Asia, South America—those are realities. If you now compare these regions with Europe and America, then you can say of them-but only from this perspective-that they are underdeveloped, and you assert thereby that this is a crucial common denominator between these countries. However, you overlook the innumerable things they do not have in common, and the fact that what they do have in common is only a contrast that exists with another world; which means that the idea of underdevelopment as the important factor is a European-American prejudice. The whole thing is simply a question of perspective; there is a logical fallacy here. Try telling a Chinese sometime that he belongs to exactly the same world as an African Bantu tribesman and, believe me, you'll get the surprise of your life."

Seems self explanatory OP.

So "you lump poor, brown cultures into one because of prejudice", what an utterly enlightening observation, weww

I keep hearing that Arendt opened the door for movements like white nationalism, how is that true?

It's classic Jewish gobbledygook.

"The Third World" was a meaningful concept. It definitely was a "reality" in that it described an objective truth. It meant, effectively, "all the nations not aligned with either the capitalist West or the communist USSR during the Cold War." That's it.

But this little horse-faced Jewess has to pull these obscurantist shenanigans with language. Nobody implied that all the nations in the Third World were exactly the same. This is something she clearly hallucinated in her addled Jewbrain.

She probably whispered that little gem to Heidegger in bed at some point, and he probably told her to stop thinkin' and start suckin'.

Arendt is yet another Sacred Jewish Intellectual™ who offers nothing but Talmudic word games and heaping helpings of post-Shoah guilt.

I can't possibly see how this can be true. However, she did justify social discrimination in her essay on Little Rock and desegregation. She said that although racial segregation was legally unjustifiable, forced, legally mandated, desegregation was just as bad; people should be free to mix on whatever basis they see fit, because "like attracts like."
