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.

I tell you Trump really is trying intentionally to dismantle the US imperial apparatus – the marriage of foreign treaty engagements and dollar hegemony. I’m not sure why. But everything he does seems to point in that direction. https://t.co/VtNLDRQXgs

“common sense, common decency” this is my suggestion for a LP slogan (I mean, to supplement all the other ones) https://t.co/u2XFb31L7j

the army that installed him is supplied with jets, tanks, spare parts, logistics, diplomatic and intelligence support by the US, UK, and Germany. It could not have conquered Afrin without that.

interesting history about depression-era coop movements in California, & how they they were destroyed by the WPA. Makes one think about Job Guarantee vs Universal Basic Income: which would greater facilitate self-organisation and mutual aid? https://t.co/eS7BN4moTq

3/ with one involving the head of internal intelligence, Merkel apparently hasn’t been able to get rid of him but ended up kicking him upstairs to a higher position https://t.co/8alqw2UMWf

2/ people told me at least one of the remaining synagogues has been attacked so often it’s closing down; meanwhile there are at least two national scandals about powerful cops sympathetic to or collaborating with the hard right

1/ to all those liberals (e.g., .@jslinville) lecturing me how it’s the cops, not movements, that will defend Jewish people vs Nazis as the latter become stronger: actually I’m in Germany right now. The Nazis are getting stronger. There are few Jews but they’re under attack.

I am still trying to make sense of the fact that the carriage numbers on German trains appear to be largely non-sequential. I find this fact very difficult to integrate into my overall world view.

I mean I hesitate to even suggest that the decidedly militaristic imagery surrounding these events gives them rather the feel of response to a diffuse & inarticulate insurrection

how many times do disgruntled workers in American have to shoot up their places of work before we’re allowed to relate it to conditions of work in America, rather than why that particular worker was crazy? https://t.co/sdIIwJB4a1

Important essay by @LeilaShami on Idlib & the moral insanity of Western ‘anti-imperialists’ who pretend the Syrian Revolution consists entirely of far-right Jihadis & support mass-murder by the Assad regime https://t.co/EoaaapOj0i

the usual approach is to publish a zillion pieces promoting the smears or taking the smears seriously, then when you send in something like this, say “we’ve already published too much about this already.”

so I’ve been trying to get a piece on why the cynical “Corbyn is an Anti-Semite” smear campaign is endangering Jewish people into some mainstream British venue. Complete rejection across the board. No one will let me publish this. New Statesman was latest rejection.

Yay! Bullshit Jobs made it to #20 on l’Express so it’s officially a best-seller in France! My 28 interviews in 3 days were not in vain. (Well done Anne!) meanwhile, still only #21 in Germany. A week of heavy lifting to follow…

The Tories told their MEPs to vote against censoring this anti-Semitic far right government. Yet somehow imaginary Labour AS is a headline every single day & this isn’t worth a mention https://t.co/F8Hi4UD5zQ

In honour of Brexit, I will from now on be informing my students that cheating on the exams might cause minor disciplinary action, but will no longer in any way affect their grade
