    Whites stop saying “don’t debate people of colour about racism” you’re allowed to debate & disagree with people of colour you weirdos. We’re not infallible. In fact, believing people of colour are infallible is its own form of racism.

    My pal used to work in the media at political conferences and he'd linger creepily in the background of live interviews like a serial killer so we could try to spot him on the telly. We'd call it 'Myersing'.

    hm my recollection is that the Beryls in Tesco were all too aware that the case for the Iraq war was built on lies; it was the informed sophisticates who were knocking back the kool-aid.

    If Beryl in Tescos doesn’t care then it doesn’t matter is Dan Hodges’ theory. Beryl didn’t care about Iraq’s mythical chemical weapons either. We shouldn’t make political decisions based on the notions of the least informed. But that’s the rules now.

    The politics that made Jessica Krug possible, beyond her foray into minstrelsy: 1. Academies that turn blackness into a commodity, allowing them to profit from ‘doing’ diversity and inclusion whilst still benefitting from fundamentally racist institutions within education.

    Hard to see how any kind of regular politics is supposed to continue when the nation’s top selling papers are printing straight up far right conspiracy theories as fact every day and nobody will even talk about it, let alone criticise it.

    New piece - a tanker that rescued 27 migrants has been stranded in the Med for *one month* because nobody will let it dock. I spoke to the captain, who told me that he’s worried for the passengers’ mental and physical health.

    ah so those papers are "comms lines". thx for clarifying.

    The first rule of a coup is to take control of the comms lines. Arrest them all.

    well put. see also Badiou's Ethics where he lays into contemporary morality that treats humans as "suffering animals".

    What we are experiencing is less identity politics and more a politics of injury, or that an identity is based on injury. We can’t just be human beings, we have to have some kind of “plight,” as V. Deloria once put it. It’s not to reject identity but to reject dehumanization.
