Good Marxist, bad Catholic. Peddler of cut-price Menckenisms for @Weekly_Worker. Here for shitposting. About 14% of a real person.

If Hitler’s whole thing "to understand Nazism one must first know Wagner" is true, what’s the equivalent music for 21st century American fascism?

Reading this chapter while listening to Primordial was certainly a vibe
As everyone knows, Ireland was desperately poor, so when potato blight hit, its thoughtlessly philoprogenitive people were doomed. But is that quite so ... ? From my book:

I'll take it, so long as they bring back Big Break but with episodes as long as a crucible final

The BBC has been critical of Trump along broadly liberal Atlanticist lines. That was ‘impartiality’. Now, it is shifting towards Trump’s Atlanticism nouveau. The new ‘impartiality’. “Everything must change so that everything can stay the same.”

Though I follow many people professionally employed by higher education intuitions on here, I sort of think you should have to delete all your social media accounts before you're allowed to say "as an academic"
As an academic, I’m open to critical thought. But why does every “post-colonial” scholar focus only on Muslims as victims. By this logic there’s a bad Hindu, a good Hindu, a bad Christian, a good Christian. No scholarly books on them as victims of violence for Mahmood Mamdani?

I suppose that would be because he was, in fact, a straightforward biological racist, and even in our depraved times it's just about worthy of mention in an obituary
This man was one of the great scientific pioneers of all time. NYT leads his obituary by matter-of-factly calling him "racist"

GTA VI being the most-hyped media release of all time is funny. It's gonna be the missions they've had for 25 years (chase down someone who owes you money, rob somebody else, fly a helicopter) while a radio broadcast goes "I got my son vaccinated... and now he's GAY?"

These people expect us to be more terrified of a potential global caliphate (fake) than 300 nuclear warheads (real)
Jason Jorjani: "The only thing standing between us and a global Islamic Caliphate are 300 Israeli nuclear warheads."

Tell me you know nothing about English libel laws without telling me etc etc
Drop Site News — not subject to UK libel laws and not being sued — already fundraising off the back of the Owen Jones lawsuit. @intifada seems to publish all the same detail and more and evade such legal threats without panhandling misrepresentative fundraisers. How’s that?

Always good to remember when Derrida punched this clown on the face.
When Zohran Mamdani dares to say that “when the boot of the NYPD is on your neck, it’s been laced by the IDF,” there is no room for debate, no refuge in the tired alibi of “anti-Zionism.” It is unvarnished, unashamed antisemitism. May the voters of New York remember it tomorrow.
