Yes. And the politics of it will be crucial

Are we going to draw them into a broad left coalition with other, (often already deskilled) workers, or are they going to join the far right? Both are paths that a middle class under attack has taken in the past

on which note, really enjoyed this: disjunctionsmag.com/articles/asy...

There is no ceasefire in Lebanon. Israel has been bombing Lebanon non-stop since last night. If anything Israel is expanding its war on Lebanon.

You are being lied to

americans urgently need to get better at imagining ourselves as perpetrators not victims

it is hard to be optimistic about—or even to imagine—a future for this planet and for the human race, for as long as the United States continues to exist

Nå, det kunne have været værre. Stadig lidt nedslående at der ikke er større folkelig opbakning til klima, miljø og dyrevelfærd, men det skal selvfølgelig holdes op mod danskenes frygt for at møde en brun person på gaden. Man må huske proportionerne.

the conditions of production, confined to the mines of the Congo and to the sweatshops of Kenya and India and the Philippines, are presumably of little interest to consumer capitalism

"But let it be noted here: the delusions of the Oligarchs might at first manifest as infrastructure, but we will later have to analyse them as societal ruins" — particularly relevant insight given how data center buildouts are near-universally framed as inevitable.

Was Habermas “one of the greatest” philosophers, as this obituary asserts? I very much doubt it. In any case, his reputation will be tarnished by his (unmentioned) complaisance in the Gaza genocide.

this is incredibly serious

there is not a strong enough 'death to america' vibe on this website if we're being quite honest

interesting how a highly relevant and contemporary global political issue is entirely missing here

there's an analogy to be made here with platform labour, a social arrangement that seems able to maintain its legitimacy amongst workers, through operating in a similar fashion when it comes to worldmaking. but insofar as it comes to desire, I suspect that what we might need here is more Deleuze

German culture

this is the type of shit Germans say before they fly "zionist antifascist" flags btw

we joined you in committing war crimes and murdering brown people, why do you hate us :(

also worth pointing out that it took two years of genocide to get AkademikerPension to drop investments into the Israeli government — meaning that we absolutely do need to channel more activist energy in this direction.

Durand makes a similar point in Sidecar: newleftreview.org/sidecar/post...

extremely absurd to talk about choosing NATO when half of NATO is trying to invade you and another quarter is trying to pretend it isn't happening, and that it wouldn't be such a big deal if it did anyway

considering how much of Denmark's economy is sustained on enforcing Novo Nordisk's ability to collect intellectual property rents on pharmaceuticals by gutting generics worldwide, the "narco-terrorist" descriptor would actually be more accurate in their context than it would be with Venezuela

tbh we didn't expect developments in imperialism to coincide so neatly with the issue on imperialism

maybe she'll finally stop kicking Arab families out of their homes (unlikely)

also particularly grim how Mette goes to great lengths to point out Danish involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan, as if that wasn't an absurd violation of international law. the Danish response is really nothing more than shock that *they* could be treated the same as countries in the global South

he doesn't need it, Denmark gave American troops effectively unlimited use of Danish military bases in June 🤡

you'd think, but Danish media and intelligentsia are busy drawing up absurd justifications for this. truly nowhere else in Europe that buys as much into some notion of white brotherhood as Denmark does.

Teemu Ruskola's piece (Jan–Feb I think) on the Chinese working class is an excellent book teaser
