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

Wow this guy REALLY doesn’t like being called out as a liar. He said the PKK killed 40k people. I pointed out he must know that 30k of those people were killed by Turkish security forces. https://t.co/CPSIjqN4kr

Turkish authorities continue ethnic cleansing of Afrin, using terror to slowly replace the entire population one-time feminist democratic enclave with the families of right-wing Jihadis. https://t.co/UU88UVa48k

Moderate centrism at work again. Many of my OWS friends have intimate memories of the feeling of moderate centrism breaking their wrists and fingers under Obama https://t.co/vEqoYUmqzm

best analysis of the North Syrian situation by an outside anti-imperialist I’ve seen so far – I mean, a real on-the-ground anti-imperialist not an armchair holier-than-thou “you can all die to preserve my moral purity” one https://t.co/hAQa1hLaWp

this is a technical military question: does anyone out there know whether Turkey as a NATO power has automatic access to satellite intelligence, drones, etc, operated out of US or Europe? I’ve heard they did and used it in Afrin but would like confirmation & details @TheWarNerd

anyway at the moment I think it’s more important to try to get the word out that a NATO infrastructure of tanks, jets, & attack helicopter supplied & maintained by Americans & European is about to launch genocidal attacks on revolutionary feminists in Syria so for now, whatever

I am very tempted to write something about the cowardice, liberalism, & cynical careerism that masquerades as (most) “radicalism” in the academy & the reigns of terror & exploitation it enables, but maybe those guys hate me enough already & anyway what good would it do?

aha! soi now we know who was really behind the Gattwick drones – someone was just trying to lower the property values to get a better deal. https://t.co/4PmvikPQf8

classic libertarian responses to discovering 1/3 of employees think they have bullshit jobs. 1. you think you’re smarter than everyone else & know what jobs are really worth (response, no this is what THEY say), 2. I think I’m smarter than everyone else & say they’re all wrong https://t.co/KFFANdjwTW

Useful but fails to note Turkey has always worked hand in glove with ISIS and would effectively put them under another name in power https://t.co/5fVzskV3sp

amazing: of course the reason Afrin hasn’t been blown up is because the SDF decided not to fight house-to-house but pulled out to spare the population civilian casualties or devastation. So now this is used as a pretext to kill them all. https://t.co/BqH80Nx5aO

you would think that once we have ascertained that someone is either lying or doesn’t know what they’re talking about, about a certain issue, then maybe … you know, they’re lying or don’t know what they’re talking about, about that issue?

amazing anyone is buying this. Taleb starts with 2 statements: #1 I wrote a petition, #2 it was a smear. Turns out #1 is completely false. Yet dozens of mindless followers, on discovering this, continue to insist #2 must be true for no reason other than his say-so. https://t.co/FgqqE2yxph

this is so awesome: it says that Trump is soon going to try to withdraw all troops from Afghanistan too. He really is going to start dismantling the empire. Obviously they do need to leave the SDF some good artillery & especially surface-to-air missiles… https://t.co/z4xhkgw2GX

Macron wasn’t a big fan of the ZAD, but he seems to have just made friends with a new one: call it, ZAD II. Well I guess it’s a distraction from the #gilesjaunes https://t.co/PAHoGZRFGq
