String of the opening passages of my books to date.
1. The Communist Necessity (Kersplebedeb, 2014/2020)

[Steven Salaita @stevesalaita]

This essay is my way of exploring the current debates about the relationship between Jewishness and Zionism.

So, Canada today refused to criminalize residential school denialism and also refused to examine its complicity in the genocide in Gaza. Canada is basically just a genocide denial country at this point. So much for peacekeeper myth?

📣 We're looking for new team members!

We're looking for translators and proofreaders. Would you like to contribute to the success of the class struggle, but don't have the opportunity to do so in your immediate area?

@RashmanTheHorse I think *False Nationalism False Internationalism*, which is usually associated with Settlers, is much better. And most of those who complain (unjustly) about Settlers haven't read FNFI.

@tropicalcamatte Look, ultimately Habermas was just the continental philosophy version of Rawls, as Rawls was the analytic philosophy version of Habermas. No I will not elaborate further.

Folks - sorry about the mix-up but this has been rescheduled to tomorrow (Saturday at 10 AM EDT)!

@defnotbeka (This is why you get creationists saying stupid shit like evolution is "just a theory" like "theory" is some kind of hypothesis that needs to proven rather than realizing that, in science, theory means a rigorous explanatory framework.)

[J. Moufawad-Paul @MLM_Mayhem]

@defnotbeka Love this string, but just a question: do you think he was confusing "thesis" with "theory"? Because a lot of folks misunderstand "theory" as something that needs to be proven (like a thesis) rather than a rigorous terrain/field of thought.

[Rebecca Valentine @defnotbeka]

a lot of people have a poor understanding of science, even people who love and promote scientific rationality. i want to address one issue i see periodically, in the hopes that you dear reader can benefit

59 years ago today, the peasant uprising began in the Indian village of Naxalbari. This uprising served as the spark that set in motion a revolutionary process in India that continues to this day.

@saditious Plus you can also find ways to be subtle with your overall criticism while saying generally "good" things about the text.

[J. Moufawad-Paul @MLM_Mayhem]

@saditious If you spend most of the review explicating what the book is about, what its main themes and arguments are, then you can do so without being overly negative. Then, as someone else suggested, conclude with where it falls short. I've done this before, saving my ire for elsewhere.

It's kind of like how a bunch of dudes who'd never really read The Odyssey (let alone knew Ancient Greece) lost their shit when they heard that a woman made a popular translation and then all became experts overnight.

[J. Moufawad-Paul @MLM_Mayhem]

I'm not a Christopher Nolan fan, but I am an Odyssey fan, and I find it super funny that so many fans of the former are losing their shit about the casting of the latter and are suddenly complaining about racial "accuracy" in the ancient world's LOTR.

Not that Canadians haven't been fundamentally anti-indigenous this whole time (it's literally foundational to being a Canadian) but there is an increase in anti-indigenous sentiment right now. Oppose it every chance you get. Never give them an inch.

[J. Moufawad-Paul @MLM_Mayhem]

@zapovednix I loved this book back when I read it in the early 2000s. I actually bought it because of that McMurtry blurb lmao.
