I’m an anthropologist, sometimes I occupy things & such.

I see anarchism as something you do not an identity...

...so don’t call me the anarchist anthropologist

Twitter was David’s public platform and tools for practicing a new language – clear and understandable for everyone, it was a space where he made friends and enemies.

It’s really taking a while to fully sink in that I just don’t live in New York any more and probably never will.

At LSE anthro seminar; S Lazar on verticals vs horizontals. I’m only cited as a native, not academic authority. I guess that’s appropriate.

seems like certain very huge companies are lacking in a sense of humour. Threatening legal action vs this http://t.co/RLFbE6gpyq

When a prof at a major uni is spending hours designing twitter-bots to launch daily attacks on strangers, mental issues r likely involved

I mean he just picked me out on the web – I certainly had never interacted with HIM – & started a cyberstalking campaign.

Objected to a “strategic statement” calling for more bureaucratisation and got slapped down. #academicbored

The judge and prosecutor were, effectively, participants in policy of sexual assault, designed to provoke “violent” responses

Can’t emphasize enough: prosecution of #CecilyMcMillan was itself a continuation of NYPD policy of sexual assault against protestors

maybe I should organize around US police abuse. It’s affected people close to me. And there’s little more they can do now that I’m in exile.

irony is there is virtually no chance either the judge or prosecutor really thought Cecily was guilty.

in a real democracy, to physically assault citizens for trying to exercise basic political rights would be an act of treason

if you want to know why people think US is a police state, consider not one cop has even been charged for ANY act of violence towards OWSers

Morbid morning: I’m sending my father, brother, and mothers’ death certificates off to a lawyer to prove I’m the only one left.

Funny world where a Uni minister driving car repeatedly into Uni students is considered utterly unremarkable

“Universities Minister Willetts directs driver to repeatedly drive car into students.” Another story British press considers non-newsworthy

We started calling “call the police! That guy just drove into someone!” That slowed things till the Block Bloc showed. Then the Samba Band

Well that was a fun May Day. Stopped David Willetts’ car for over half an hour. His driver tried to run over two students trying to escape.

When there was pol pressure on capitalism, they were willing to buy off some sectors of the non-elite. Now they don’t have to

That is, the fact that people like him are not anti-capitalist (as he would have been 20-30 years ago) is precisely the problem

It strikes me that what Piketty is missing is capitalism didn’t become civilized 1913-75 due to growth rates but fear of anti-capitalism
