@ProfHall1955 As someone who has studied your work for decades, and had the pleasure of meeting you. This person is clearly an idiot

@elonmusk Because who wants to have a baby in this shitshow of a world?

[Steve Hall @ProfHall1955]

This post stirred deep memories. As a younger man a fundamental question hit me hard. Why are ordinary, decent people running around like blue-arsed flies, often risking life and limb, for very little reward on behalf of a bunch of arseholes who have nothing to distinguish them other than more money and confidence? During the brief Keynesian social democratic era, occupational and social relations had improved to some extent. Some bosses in sectors like health, engineering and so on deserved a bit of respect and cooperation on the grounds of competence and leadership. But the Thatcherite era felt like a movie called The Return of the Arseholes with a Vengeance. A cursory look at the current finance-tech-retail oligarchy and their obsequious political and media lieutenants tells me I was intuitively right from the beginning. The sentiment behind the question never left me, and it never will.

The Disunion Jack. The latest ultra-realist blog written by @emmaarmstrong96 and myself. https://t.co/IOC2M5JKg8

"Misrecognition of immigrants as their principal enemy permanently distracts these theatrical white nationalists from effective political engagement with opposition to the neoliberal system that has pulled the rug from under their feet. When the anger subsides and the streets are cleared, nostalgia returns as the great pacifier, redirecting emotional energy backwards to a mythical past rather than a future that would be susceptible to real change should substantive politics return (Winlow and Hall, 2022). Anger is thus trapped in this imagined history, fuelling a yearning for a past that can’t be restored and succeeding only in reproducing sentiments that belong to it, an emotional spectrum that ranges from mutual love and solidarity to overt racism." @CriticalCrimBSC @britsoci

Unfortunately, I couldn't attend the launch today, but congratulations! I can't wait to read the updated version.

[Steve Hall @ProfHall1955]

Big day for @winlow_s and I. Publication of the second edition of our foundational 'ultra-realist' book. The culmination of over 30 years of research. A lot of new research and significant advances in the theoretical framework. And a very robust response to some critics.😁 I must admit, we weren't prepared for these reviews. After 30 years of hard work, I'm allowed to show off for a moment.
"Books like this come along once in a generation...."
"A brilliant paradigm shift...."
"The breadth and depth of their scholarship is breathtaking...."
"The sections on subjectivity are stunning...."
"Two of criminology's most intrepid thinkers...."
"The building blocks of a new and distinct criminological paradigm...."

Yay! This will be an absolute gem of a resource. It took me a while to get my head around it, and this would have really helped:)

[Steve Hall @ProfHall1955]

Ultra-Realism's theoretical framework can be a bit chewy. Fear not, try this highly accessible study guide for students at all levels. https://t.co/hUTSOvPXUI

The end of a journey. Graduation yesterday was fantastic. Masters of Criminology, Class of 2025. Now for the PhD.D...

[Emma-Louise Smith @Fluttermouse]

@AuthorGoodwin I haven't read their full review but a 3* isn't bad. It's not great, but it isn't bad.

[Emma-Louise Smith @Fluttermouse]

It's time to start considering my PhD. options. It's hard to choose a topic when you've got a few that you are really drawn to. I figure since my masters graduation is only two weeks away, it was time. The break was nice, though.

@TheGrumpyBasta1 @GBNEWS Crikey...bit embarassing

[Emma-Louise Smith @Fluttermouse]

I received this the other week. It was a proud moment, an achievement I never thought I'd get. Yet it still doesn't feel like enough. What do I do next? Seems anything relies upon work experience (I don't have) or a PHD (I don't have). I'm almost 43, yet I'm still not there yet.

[Emma-Louise Smith @Fluttermouse]

The only reason I come onto X is to see what Steve Hall posts. If you want to know about the real state of things especially in the UK, this is the man to follow. Informative, explanatory, and helpful.

[Steve Hall @ProfHall1955]

I think I'm being suppressed on X. I'm not an 'economist' but I have a clear understanding of the 'big moves' in economic history and their relationship to banking, politics and social issues. That context is important, therefore a few of my posts were well received and I attracted a good few followers in a short space of time. As popularity grew, porn bots started liking every post and reply concerned with the economy, especially global finance, private equity etc. Views plummeted. Apparently, algorithms then classify the post as 'adult content' and reduce its visibility. Free speech? No problem. Equal opportunity to be heard? No way.

I'm attending this event. RT if you think others will find this helpful 🙌 https://t.co/r8o6kwpJVK #writeyourownway

Latest ultra-realist blog. The Rudakubana case. https://t.co/Yoi0uZl2gw

"The new three-headed master currently exerts its negative consequentialist power over all of us – we command that you shall be free no matter what the real costs. It is playing with children’s lives, both the tiny and often remediable minority suffering from the more dangerous forms of mental illness and their innocent victims. The current Anglo-American, late liberal way of life is, in the term used by ultra-realists, zemiogenic."
