Submitted to a special reflective issue on the ethics of researching illiberalism:
“I was gonna fight fascism …”: the need for a critical approach to illiberalism
Particularly excited about this one as it builds on a wider project that is starting to take shape!
Rubiales is a great symbol for our reactionary times
Just a white man in position of power self-righteously reacting against being told he cannot do as he pleases with other people's lives and bodies, and institutions watching him powerlessly hoping he'll do "the right thing"
Reactionaries are never "libertarians"
They want the freedom to say/do whatever awful things they want, regardless of the cost to others, but they certainly don't want the same to be afforded to the communities they want to oppress and/or destroy
Don't fall for their trick
Excellent from Jeff Sparrow
"How did higher education get so broken? Pretty much the same way as everything else. We live amid the wreckage of formerly treasured institutions & services, despoiled by decades of marketisation and neglect"
Solidarity with Australian colleagues ✊🏻
This makes for such a grim read and it is the direct consequence of the construction of immigration as "a legitimate concern" by reactionaries in position of discursive power
