It also promises that the US will "oppose elite-driven, anti-democratic restrictions on core liberties in Europe" and "[restore] Europe's civilizational self-confidence and Western identity."

The new US National Security Strategy is wild on Europe. It pursues JD Vance's right-wing civilisationalist rant in Munich as policy, rambling about "the real ... threat of civilizational erasure" and encourages "patriotic" parties' "revival of spirit." www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

That is a great quote. I wrote a thing on it a while back that is available open access with Parrhesia: “Stasis: Civil War, Revolution, and Destitution in Giorgio Agamben’s Homo Sacer-Series”

It was a great and very inspiring panel! Thank you for organizing it and your contribution!

That was a great panel and discussion [insert obligatory joke about the respondents looking like a police line-up of young short-haired south scandinavian male Marxist theorists in a dark t-shirts]!

A horizontal bar chart showing the distribution of mandates in Copenhagen. The largest party is "Enhl." short for Enhedslisten, a far-left party, followed by SF, the socialist people's party, and then the social democrats who suffered a major defeat.

Danish Social democrats suffered a massive defeat in Copenhagen last night. They incurred similar defeats across the country and there will be a general election in the next year. In Copenhagen the far-left Enhedslisten (the unity list) won the most mandates followed by the socialist people's party.

Screengrab of a Guardian article with headline “Centre-left tipped to lose Copenhagen for first time in electoral history” followed by the text “Political rivals say PM's divisive politics have encouraged voters to ditch the Social Democrats for the far right” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/nov/18/centre-left-tipped-to-lose-copenhagen-for-first-time-in-electoral-history

The Danish Social Democrats who have pursued far right policies on immigration and governs with the centre-right are set to lose in Copenhagen for the first time in a 100 years, while the left looks set to win a major victory today.

I've written a short piece on international law, fetishism, and ideology - now out on Legal Form. I suggest that international law is an ideological fetishism of international relations.

A huge win for Danish Marxism by proxy

Seriously considered my own "reply all" with that exact content #PerformativeContradiction
