#KarlMarx is the most consequential #economist of the past two centuries, and his work as a #sociologist identified the struggle against #oppression as a key motor of history. On #ThisDayInHistory in 1883 he died in London. Meanwhile, the #RulingClass keeps adapting and lives on.

My novel - 'The Election - A Modern Chronicle of Barsetshire' was published last November. Thus far I have only seen #ai attempts at reviews - some of them more accurate than others! However I have found it on offer in thirty five other countries than the #uk - which implies some interest in it. However some sites may be confusing me with two deceased people called donald roy - one a #sociologist in the #us and the other a cultural figure in #kingston-upon-hull !

Trump appears doesn’t know difference between making a #deal & making #peace

Even if one is tempted to credit #Trump’s self-professed efforts as a peacemaker (as part of which he has renamed the United States Institute of Peace after himself) foreign policy experts categorise peace in two competing ways first conceptualised by the late Johan #Galtung, the Norwegian #sociologist and prime mover behind the emergence of the discipline of peace and conflict studies.

As a sociologist, I need to tell you: Your overwhelm is the goal 🧵 1/ The flood of 200+ executive orders in Trump's first days exemplifies Naomi Klein's "shock doctrine" - using chaos and crisis to push through radical changes while people are too disoriented to effectively resist. This isn't just politics as usual - it's a strategic exploitation of cognitive limits.

Who would've thought? Canada's divorce rate is actually DECLINING to 38%. As a #sociologist, I find it fascinating how factors like later marriages and higher education correlate with more lasting unions. The post-no-fault divorce era shows our evolving social fabric isn't unravelling—it's just rewoven differently.
