I wonder how many are working and caring? Less household disposable results in a higher burden of care on younger family members. Well, I guess they could join the Army. 🤔 https://t.co/mavnQP9qmd
Am I the only one who thinks a pivot to this kind of "unfinished democratic revolution" in the belly of the world's capitalist imperialist hegemon is regressive and a latently chauvinistic gesture?
@FugeusRedux “In the 2000s there were the same number of tenured position; now we have 3x the number of students.” A convo from undergrad days before my dropout, with one of my lecturers @ Dundee. This was in 2021.
@stendhalist Especially as climate crisis heightens. Islamophobia, as the anti-semitism of today, seemingly becomes the norm. Was rereading Dialectics of Enlightenment and the bits on anti-Semitism, civilisation requires othering on an ethno-religious basis: all grimly applicable to our time.
@RuviSimmons @transjewtalian Ridiculous assertion only to be found in the minds of Scottish liberals. A peculiar sort of notion that relies on assuming the present position of Scotland as ‘more progressive’ (arguable) than England is the result of a repressed essence coming to bear.
@tooslick2230267@pashtunmarxism Go down South to the Free State and see race riots there too, it’s obviously not like being Irish imbues an energy if its own force, but the occupied North is a unique formation unlike anything in contemporary Europe.
@tooslick2230267@pashtunmarxism There is no ‘Northern Irish public’. It is a gerrymandered statelet where political authority is vested in one community, whose loyalty is to Protestant supremacy over all other groups. Petri dish in British social warfare. Do not simplify into mere civil society in vulgar forms.
@pashtunmarxism Hilarious to call these guys ‘armed Irish men’ lol, they are loyalists from the Village UVF or Sandy Row UDA. Literally more British than the British across the water!
@lyrasie Critics of a humanist variety forget he was a Hegel scholar first, before they throw around lofty statements with no grasp of him beyond insipid memes. Easy to not deal with his observations when they hand wave him away.
@NondescriptRed The wealth of Ireland, Celtic Tiger etc comes much later and only really possible by Anglo-Irish industry; later integration of Free State with UK/US bloc. Also ignoring the fact that the North is still a gerrymandered statelet.
