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

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

I actually saw this happening at the time & tweeted about it, that BJ/Cumming’s trick was to win by losing, to force Corbyn to ally with the legalistic Remainers trying to block the popular will, the guys who are about form v content & who thus stack the system in their favour 4/

the prof-mans are seen as obsessed with rules, laws, regulation… they are stuffy bureaucrats, whether in the public or private sector, who get in the way of you doing your job. The Parliamentary struggle over Brexit became a perfect metaphor for this. 3/

“working class” no longer means factory work, but largely construction, & above all maintenance, and care work. “Middle class” means administrative & professional (including a lot of bullshit job territory.) So class resentment is increasingly vs professional-managerial 2/

it seems to me there is a massive shift in class structures and class identities, & one reason right wing populism works is because they’re exploiting it more effectively – but I don’t have the real data & I’m curious what’s out there 1/

I think from now on, if anyone meets someone who works for BBC News, that should simply tell them as far as we’re concerned they are not journalists, that we hold them personally responsible for the regime under which we live, and they are not welcome in our homes.

has a single #bbcnews journalist resigned in protest over having been asked to become an essentially a State News Agency, & smearing the opposition so as to bring an extreme right-wing, racist government into power? Even one?

I can’t believe it. I did it! I finished ALL outstanding MSc application work. (I know nobody out there cares, why should they, but I had to tell someone

on an unrelated note: is there anyone who has a list of the books Freud had in his library or read as a student? Were the 17C Jesuit Relations of New France among them? Because some of them describe Haudenosaunee dream theory as being exactly what Freud later became famous for.

if there were a God, there would be a special place in hell reserved for moralists who joined in the smearing of Britain’s most dedicated lifelong antiracist so as to elect a far right gov’t, then pretended to bemoan the rise of “intolerance” that resulted .@davidschneider https://t.co/WbnSbTGzcE

2017 – Corbyn moves the party to left, runs on accepting referendum results. Kept red wall & makes massive gains. 2019 – Corbyn runs as Remainer candidate, is massively abandoned in Leave constituencies. Media conclusion: Corbyn too far to left. Elect a hard Remainer!

yes considering the people who are doing so are precisely those who campaigned tirelessly to force Corbyn into accepting the Remain position that lost him the election https://t.co/j0ZCYjanGa

this pretty much sums it up – the same assholes who destroyed the Labour Left by forcing Remain on them are now finishing their work https://t.co/1TAKBatzne

just remember everyone: when #BBCNews announces with alarm that the BJ government is introducing a program to dismantle & privatise them & begs for our help, let’s all just tell them they’re a bunch of conspiracy theorists.

Gee you think? https://t.co/HQP2lp0ed0 so presumably the game now will be to distract attention onto a few specific “errors, so as to sidestepping e.g. mentioning JC’s imaginary antisemitism 700x, and BJ’s real antisemitism zero times

I’d totally be down with this. How do we create it in such a way though that it reaches people outside the circle of the convinced? https://t.co/xN9I7leHXz

if anyone puts some of those up – just put on a hashtag like #pledgeyourvote or #operationgranny, I’d be happy to retweet and if we get a few, compile them on a web page. There’s not much time! But this could make a huge difference. 6/

another thing I have seen people start to do is put up videos, both of younger people appealing to their elders, and older people telling other members of their generation why they have come around to agree with their grandchildren. We need more of these! 5/

I really think this is vitally important. Historically, older citizens have voted overwhelmingly for the party which has been consistently worst on climate issues. I am convinced they simply don’t understand what effects this is likely to have on their grandchildren 4/

#XR has already put up a Pledge Your Vote web page: https://t.co/bNpSlFSBgZ, for the use of young activists and older people who want to contribute to this campaign. They aren’t endorsing candidates but have links to pages assessing candidates on climate issues 3/
