Adorno's Culture Industry

During Adorno's self-imposed exile, he would dedicate much of his research to understanding how he was initially so wrong about the Nazi's ability to convince the German people to accept their rule. And he would end up doing so immersed in the vibrant advertisement-fueled ethos of American consumer-style capitalism. While one might imagine this milieu to be a distraction from his task, it was actually as it turns out perfect. I don't know what come to study the bizarre intricacies of American Hollywood movies, advertisements, radio shows, and other pop culture commodities but they're all good for fascists.
