Eric Maugendre about data'Three syntactic patterns appear consistently:
• Passive constructions, such as “Data shall be retained,” which avoid naming the actor.
• Nominalizations, such as “submission,” which replace verbs like “submit” to obscure who acts.
• Instruction templates without subjects, such as “Confirm identity before approval,” which issue commands without specifying any agent.
'Each of these forms is grammatically acceptable and often institutionally adopted. What unites them is that they structurally remove the subject, the speaker, and the agent.
'Why This Has Consequences
'Where no one is named, no one is held accountable.
[…]
'Formality, once a guarantee of procedure, becomes a mask for the absence of responsibility.
'Documents continue to function. Authority continues to be exercised. Yet no one signs, and no one speaks.'

Who Gave the Order? When AI Issues Commands Without a Speaker
A reflection on how artificial language exerts control through structure, not speech1. What This Article ExaminesConsider the sentence:"All credentials must be verified before access is granted."It appears normal. It sounds official. But a basic question remains:Who is supposed to verify them?Who gave the instruction?This question anchors the published article Syntax Without Subject. The study examines how artificial intelligence, particularly large language models (LLMs), generates institutiona

'Julia Sebutinde, the Ugandan vice-president of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), has said God "is counting on me to stand on the side of #Israel" & the signs of the "end times" are "being shown in the Middle East".'

Estelle Platini"Freedom can be granted, but it remains a “legal fiction”. […] Rights cannot be bestowed upon those constructed as Slaves, non-Humans, or property, especially when such a status is the contingent basis of the worldview through which rights are given their coherence."

“Peace, within an antiblack world, is a fallacy (much like freedom). The metaphysical infrastructure that supports the fiction of the white human is sustained by antiblack violence.”

"Palestinians despise the courts. We hate the sight of a judge, knowing all too well that they are no different from the interrogator. We loathe the law and all it stands for in our context—a tool for oppression cloaked in legality. Even the lawyers, perhaps universally disliked, evoke our mistrust. But for us, the courts represent more than frustration; they are the place where our oppressive conditions are translated into legal language, where the weight of colonial domination is formalized with a veneer of legitimacy."

The ICC warrants: Palestinian skepticism and the glimpse of justice
Palestinians hold deep skepticism of courts based on generations of Israeli abuse. But the ICC warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant are a moment to expose the contradictions of the American Empire and put a crack in the veneer of impunity.

The Rorschach test of Palestine in international law
Some have argued that the ICJ ruling on the Gaza genocide proves that international law is a tool of the dominant, too corrupted by the great powers to achieve true justice. But the ICJ offered a way of isolating Israel, and that is a source of hope.
