@dustcircle I think that the constitution means whatever MAGA decides that it means. In that, I’m sure that there was some sort of charter that was replaced by the constitution. Just as I’m sure that the Weimar Republic constitution went through stages of reinterpretation, before it was conveniently forgotten.

@Radical_EgoCom @anarchistquotes As Walter Benjamin elegantly shows in his work on violence, the violence of the state is already present in society. It only “appears” sporadically, but it is always already there. Ask the BDS protesters. People calling for social change are unlikely to be treated kinder than students have been. And remember Clinton has effectively justified political violence, killing “civilians” to get to “terrorists”. Violence will not bow to peace.

@DrALJONES Absolutely.

I mean, in all honesty, we should just nationalize crown possessions anyway.

There are so many things we should do for reparations; like fix the whole international exchange mechanism that disadvantages the global south.

@DrALJONES Sell the Royal palaces to fund the reparations.

@barney @steve_zeke @aral The profile = “Pro-democracy”.

The post = Supporting Macron ignoring the result of an election.

“Centre-Left” in a nutshell.

@bmacDonald94 I rarely comment on the links you post, but thank you so much, in general and, specifically, for this. I particularly loved Stephen Perkins interpreting one of the best drum tracks of the classic rock era.

Stay safe through the storms!

@WarnerCrocker Who’s the next to be bought?

@foser When are Americans going to realize that this is a pro-fascist paper? The downplaying of Republican crimes, racism, and other evils is *standard* in this rag. It was most definitely not a ‘bid to flip the vote’. The language attempts to legitimize GOP criminal activity. As fascist as FOX.

@tzimmer_history A better definition: “Woke” is a term co-opted by fascists and other psychopaths to mock empathy, for the reason that it is shorter and easier to remember than “political correctness” for their tiny-minded thugs.
