@woozle For sure! #Prefiguration for the win, big and small. :)

Also, #imaginaries ...

(I'm reminded of ideas in... I think it was Inventing the Future[0]... anyway, some book or other that talked about creating visions of the possible, for people to be inspired to try to build possibilities into realities.)

@germany: "The only substantive difference in the opposition pitting the political parties who are seen as capable of contributing to governance and those who are deemed inadmissible (i.e. the AfD) is that the former believe that it is acceptable to ethnically cleanse and settler colonise in Palestine, whereas the latter is of the opinion that ethnic cleansing should be performed at home too. A defense of the right to colonise across the seas is seen by mainstream opinion as crucial to maintaining political coherence, whereas the AfD is unwilling to abide by the classic colonial distinction separating colony and metropole. It is an uncanny predicament: both sides are thinking about colonialism, one implicitly proclaiming its admissibility somewhere, the other its desirability everywhere. And yet neither is referring to it."
