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.

this is interesting to note because back in 2001 I got SO much shit for suggesting this person’s approach to money was effectively neoliberal.

Arjun Appadurai’s footnote about my Debt book in his latest work on financial derivatives. Apparently my work is irrelevant because i see “no hope whatever for redemption in the new financial instruments.” Um, yeah. I’m anti-capitalist. https://t.co/9gXHrTU0A5

what an awful politician. Obama, who blew one of the greatest historical opportunities ever & accomplished nothing because he wouldn’t stand up to ideological purists on the right, explains the real problem is ideological purists of the left https://t.co/7waclltuGb

I’m always reminded of the story of CLR James who after a divorce spent some time working as cook on a ranch; while in his spare time preparing a new translation of Hegel’s Logic

I’d go dressed as a Still Unprosecuted Collosal War Crime but I don’t think me or any of my friends can sew that well https://t.co/dT5VqLT3UK

According to scientists working on animal play, when two rats play fight or play compete, the bigger rat lets the littler rat win 30% of the time just to keep life more interesting. Learning this made me extremely happy. The universe isn’t as bad as we like to think.

Real (Left) UBI aims to expand the zone of unconditionality (free health care, edu…), in society; Right UBI is meant to contract it. Alas, looks like .@AndrewYang is a right UBI enthusiast. His rejection of free higher ed is a give-away. Stop him before he destroys the brand!

On the other hand if they push this line hard enough they might succeed in totally rehabilitating the reputation of Marxism https://t.co/4WV0IwkQEQ

The endless invocation of the word “Populist” is an effort by our rulers to convince us that what’s really wrong with fascism is its democratic element.

this is important: please disseminate widely. Imam Sis is a wonderful person on the verge of death. His is the longest hunger strike in British history. This is the first the media has even been willing to acknowledge it’s happening. https://t.co/XcOYjk86Sh

NATO armies that conquered & imposed sharia law on the previously feminist-governed province of Afrin, have now presided over the ethnic cleansing of its last Armenian resident. Yes. A century later the Turkish gov’t is still going after Armenians. https://t.co/xmder5xT6K

this fellow seems to have hit the nail on the head here Corbyn is middle class, in origin, but does not seem to be of the professional-managerial elite that staffs & runs the media here, left or otherwise. Has anyone analysed this explicitly? https://t.co/zu3dkn0ff6

wow I thought I was joking: if it had been up to The Guardian there never would have been an NHS to begin with https://t.co/ugWUFOCenJ

Position of pretty much all current Guardian columnists if this were 1945: “of course we’re for the creation of an NHS but since Atlee clearly isn’t the right person to deliver it it’s better to stick with Churchill.”

internal reaction of Russians to US Russiagate controversy: 1. among general public “Yay! We’re back! We hacked the US elections! Putin is SO cool!” 2. among insiders “yeah right. Everyone knows our spies are completely incompetent. Is the US trying to build up Putin or what?”

the Russiagate nonsense was propagated by Clintonite sore losers who were DESPERATE that the “what went wrong” accounting after perhaps the biggest humiliation in electoral history play into the hands of the right wing and not the left wing of the Democratic Party https://t.co/S5PimMIXcb

what would the world be like if we weren’t allowed to use the word “terrorism/terrorist”, but instead were forced come up with descriptive terms for different forms of political violence & those who practice it?
