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

ok thinking aloud but: I cannot fail but see Trump’s reimposition of Iran sanctions as a self-conscious way of undermining the imperial role of US finance and currency

short version: the US/UK/EU financial system is basically an imperial tribute-collecting system, & it has redistributed some of the loot back to Turkey as a faithful NATO ally. Now the Empire is cross with Erdogan. https://t.co/rUP0sJqjCI

4/ far as I can see the main difference is that, writing as he is from America (I’m in Europe), he highlights racialized incarceration rather than structural unemployment but otherwise doesn’t this seem to say pretty much the same thing?

3/ compare these two passages, one from the review, the other from the original essay (quote in full & discussed in the book) his mine https://t.co/FP1uybdanu

2/ the reviewer says “But Graeber neglects to mention the more deep-rooted forces…” behind BSJ, which is that “its purpose has been largely political, not directly economic or “efficiency”-related.” Odd I thought that was the main point of the original essay

1/ this is a nice, fair-minded review overall (the reviewer mainly dislikes my meandering style; to each their own), but there’s one thing puzzles me https://t.co/fZtvMavHzR

just speculating, but I bet if every time M Hodge made a public appearance people started telling her that she was a “fucking racist and AS”. it wouldn’t take long at all before she started calling the police

can someone please kick Hodge out of the Labour Party? This was obviously the intention of her calculated political intervention & it was effective https://t.co/OIKJKmU858

Saudi coalition (which includes US, UK, & EU) insists terror attack on school bus that killed 29 children was a legitimate military action because 1. they were really child soldiers, 2. they were really adult soldiers, 3, they were human shields (etc) https://t.co/vwBS1JZoq0

having (largely successfully) bullied almost everyone in the region & beyond, Erdogan now tries to bully central banks & international markets, while picking a personal fight with Donald Trump. Not working out so well. https://t.co/3AN9zZ0UEO

My personal favorite was a 60s correction on a report on a rock show, saying ‘we incorrectly said ‘Joe Smith was on drugs’. We meant to write ‘Joe Smith was on drums.’ We apologize for any inconvenience…” https://t.co/YgoEMacidL

Dear Everyone I’ve Ever Met: I appreciate your concern but the fact that I am in Greece does not mean I am in any way likely to die in a forest fire outside Athens. Actually I’m in the Cyclades https://t.co/S7iP9icnsi

I need to be patient. The first “critiques” of a new book, if it presents a new angle on a political question, almost invariably take the form of “he shouldn’t have written a book about X he should have written yet another book about Y.” Eventually, real critiques appear.
