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.

oh look! McGregor just blocked me for demanding he apologise for endangering me as a Jew. If he wasn’t an Antisemite, he would have at least tried to understand what I was so scared of. https://t.co/OhV6CI13Vp

I always suspected Trump was basically placed in the White House as a last “fuck you” to America by a sector of the electorate that was in the process of committing mass suicide anyway. https://t.co/Q7dFjcCiRz

I have a flu. Lying around for two days with no energy. No passion. No desire. I instantly stop eating when hunger pangs stop. I still have some dregs of intellectual energy but otherwise, zip. Have I achieved a state of Stoic perfection? Apatheia? Ataraxia?

So basically if a British kid bullies an immigrant kid & the latter eventually fights back, the victim will be denied citizenship – nothing will happen to the bully. So the govt is effectively deputizing mean racist kids to try to get, say, war refugees kicked out of the country https://t.co/0GmCKYjXb9

translation: I will do ANYTHING to prevent rich peoples’ tax rates from going up 10-15%, including destroying my own party, leaving millions hungry, & throwing the country into the arms of a would-be Churchillian madman who will destroy the country just so he can feel important https://t.co/jZK5stuLcN

One can well debate whether Donald Trump & his close advisors are, precisely, fascists. But there is no doubt at all that they are strongly anti-anti-fascist. https://t.co/PYxo2Zjc28

My prediction: if Boris Johnson is still in power in 2023 the main issue of the day will be Devon’s relation to an independent Cornwall.

Just as David Cameron must have been popping the champagne when Theresa May resigned, knowing he’d now no longer be remembered by history as worst PM in modern British history, so May must be dancing a jig now, knowing Bozo will definitely bounce her to #2

Dear Everyone: Brexit is a reconfiguration if the legal relations of two administrative bureaucracies. That’s all. Those relations are not going to change all that much even if it does happen & the main class of people who will profit from any Brexit will be lawyers.

If you want to measure the inherent bias of the British media here’s a quick test: search for the phrase “Boris will be Boris” used to shrug or laugh off some “foible” or outrageous statement. Now see how many hits you get for “Jeremy will be Jeremy.”

future historians will see the post-2015 Guardian as a priceless resource. Day to day, it documents of how the UK’s middle-aged professional managerial classes, having allied themselves entirely with finance capital, collectively lost their shit as young people embraced socialism

What the rise of Boris Johnson shows is that there’s absolutely nothing you can’t do – provided you’re born to the ruling class and there’s absolutely nothing you won’t do to get it.

this person has already said she wouldn’t enter a coalition with the current LP, so if she proves kingmaker again, as her predecessor Clegg did, she will most definitely throw in her lot with Boris Johnson and thus save the very right wing she now claims to oppose https://t.co/NIEhcILgVq

I suppose it’s possible to imagine something more hypocritical than Margaret Hodge claiming solidarity with left-wingers falsely accused of antisemitism, but I must admit I’m wracking my mind https://t.co/8pHR7puEyK

Robert Winston can resign to prove he’s sorry about being an antisemite who wants to endanger Jews such as myself because he has a political axe to grind against socialism https://t.co/sNE3ZWYnjk

Rather reminds me of the famous headlines “police announce plan to run down jaywalkers” or “juvenile court to try shooting defendants”

it’s clear now, that false charges of antisemitism are going to be the preferred weapon of right-wing forces, from Hodge to Trump, who are simultaneously tolerating or actively fostering actual AS international and in their own societies https://t.co/yyOx0YX5Nc

If I did, purely hypothetically, get a piece in the Guardian saying that the weaponization of AS accusations is a form of AS and endangers me as a Jew, what do you think would be the reaction?

okay I’m being lazy: anyone can link me that survey that found c.20% of British citizens wouldn’t want anyone in their family marrying a Jew?

high time. This is of course the reason for the entire “antisemitism” controversy in Labour – Blairite MPs know their constituents mostly don’t want them and are terrified of democratisation. But they can’t say “I oppose democratisation” https://t.co/uS4DbqYmiF

What I want to know is what results they’d get for “banks,” “the steel industry,” or “everything owned by Sir Richard Branson.” https://t.co/xpQnUOPg3H
