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

here are some (not even all) of the concerns which prompted me to write an apology for my former association with HAU https://t.co/qoXfopeJfg

Incidentally when they describe me as “bestselling author” and say Debt was an “international bestseller” what they actually mean is it was #2 in Germany one week and #7 once in France. I’ve never been in the top 50 or even 100 in any English speaking country far as I know.

Imprisoned HDP Turkish presidential candidate S. Demirtas, imprisoned basically for being head of left opposition & doing too well in elections, makes direct appeal to #jeremycorbyn https://t.co/hmHmTpITvf

I find it so annoying that my Echofon doesn’t mute half the people I try to mute. So then I have to block them

in case anyone is wondering what happened to the book On Kings by me and Marshall Sahlins that seemed to get zero attention; Marshall has just put this up on Facebook https://t.co/yEHutILFnp

UK might have gone halfway down the road to US levels of non-caring but there’s still certain assumptions – for someone used to even Tory UK standards watching the ostentatiously non-cared-for wandering about everywhere injured is startling

Thing that disturbed me about the guy in red uniform lying unconscious (clearly some kind of transport or city either) was there were max 2-3 people hovering around – in London it would have been 20-30

Landed in SF & they took me straight to hotel near Powell street. Been years since I’ve been in US wasn’t prepared for quite such a hellscape: people living in the street, people everywhere obviously injured, disabled, sick one guy in a uniform literally collapsed in the gutter

About Brexit here’s my question: if referendums could never be reversed Brexit itself would be illegit since people voted to join the EU to begin with. So is there a criterium for how long you must wait before voting again? What? Would the wideness of the margin be a factor?

has anyone pointed out that placing tariffs on steel & aluminium is a really harmful thing to do to any US industry OTHER than the steel & aluminium industry which, after all, have to buy steel & aluminium to make cars etc? I mean it’s obvious but why isn’t everyone saying this?

say what was the name of the British online bookstore that’s not abusive like Amazon? I wanted to encourage people to buy my book there instead but now I can’t remember the name.

If criticizing Jordan Peterson’s postmodernism has been done I could also point out his interpretation of myths is utterly bizarre: he seriously thinks men universally represent culture & women chaos? Even Jung would have laughed at this.

So maybe I will write a piece arguing that Jordan Peterson is a postmodernist whose attitude of contempt for the realities revealed by empirical research is responsible for most of the disasters of the 20C he bewails

according to Guardian columnists, the best way to prevent fascism is to seriously limit democracy (don’t even have to read between the lines much in this one) https://t.co/vlWGCcKIYF

for the record I’m hesitant about certain aspects of UBI & worry about the politics of implementation, am open to other arguments – but screaming that I’m a liberal, or conservative, or somehow both simultaneously, is really unhelpful. To anyone.

There we go! My work has given at least one on-line dominatrix a new angle to extract unearned wealth from members of the managerial class. https://t.co/dx4Vx82vCr
