A Strategy for Ruination
An interview with China Miéville
“It is not as if the world has not long been one in which vast numbers live in dystopian depredation. The horizon is more visible now to many who had thought themselves insulated, if they thought about it at all. And dystopia for some is utopia for others. We live in a utopia: it just isn’t ours.”

Jens Beckerts These: Kredite, Innovationen, Investitionen basieren auf gesellschaftlich geteilten Vorstellungen. Diese „imaginierten Zukünfte“ werden real, wenn genug Menschen daran glauben und entsprechend handeln.

Who’s Afraid of Frantz Fanon? - Boston Review
Long decried by liberals and conservatives alike, the Martinican psychiatrist remains one of the most piercing critics of colonialism.
“Fanon’s bogeyman status reveals little about his thought, but it discloses a real tendency in his reception. More than almost any other 20th-century thinker, Fanon has been remembered and interpreted through his aphorisms, which are by turn lyrical, seductive, and arresting.” @samklug.bsky.social

Boone County Coroner releases cause, manner of death in shooting of housekeeper in Whitestown
The Boone County Coroner’s Office announced on Nov. 6 it has determined Maria Florinda Ríos Pérez de Velasquez's cause and manner of death.
Only in the afterlife of slavery and apartheid do you get this story: a Guatemalan woman shot to death for entering the front porch of the wrong house for a housecleaning job. In a neighborhood called *The Heritage* in fucking *Whitestown, Indiana*
"It's unclear if the shooter will be charged."

The Responsibility of Intellectuals in the Age of Fascism and Genocide - Boston Review
Speaking the truth and exposing lies is not enough.
At the Third U.S. Congress against War and Fascism in 1936, Langston Hughes declared: “Fascism is a new name for that kind of terror the Negro has always faced in America. . . . This kind of terrorism is extending more and more to groups of peoples whose skins are not black.”

Sounds great! The 1st chapter of my Lorde book is about her vision of the political power of poetry, & then I try to show that vision in action across the other chapters. Her 1986 collection Our Dead Behind Us is 🔥 for this

Thank you for sharing, Caleb! I want to deal more with Lorde's poetry as a repertoire for political thought for some for some time now and this definitely keeps me going in that direction (amid my 387 other projects).

This Is What the End of the Liberal World Order Looks Like
In a post-American world, greed and nihilism are destroying Sudan.
Earlier this year, I made two trips to Sudan, where a terrible civil war has displaced 14 million people. The state is absent, international institutions are weak.Outside powers, motivated by greed and nihilism, have stepped into the vacuum

I'll have a look into this! I work on how Anders conceived some form of elevated futural orientation, and since his work tries to preserve agential freedom one could conclude that absolute freedom (and the max. of corresp. futurity) might be relevant to this form - which I was skeptical about.
