it shouldn't be impossible, I haven't been banned or anything. I've been trying to figure this out for a few days - I found a couple of articles by Tooze but they were written a while ago: do you mean his latest book? or something else?

*frantically scours profile to figure out how you found out*

It's on your IALS profile.

Oh yay you're back!

yeah

sry i forgot about this

Unacceptable

(I thought maybe you were banned)

nah, there'd be a strike through my name if that was the case.

I have not, but I have read a few good pieces about the SDS and its fate, enough that some of the stuff I've seen on Leftbook, left tumblr etc started making more sense.
I think accounts of "SJWism" often try to frame the phenomena in terms of, like, the unique moral failings of the millennial generation but it seems so obvious that it's a response to the material conditions of the contemporary era...

There's a sale on Verso books so I'm bout to get the ebook of that for half off along with a bunch of other stuff probably...

I say if you can't go to jail for breaking the law, it's ridiculous to have the legal protections of a person.

We actually did a reading in one of my classes long ago on this, it was a paper that I might be able to find if I try hard enough. Basically it tells the same story, of how corporations used to be chartered for some specific purpose and were held to exist at the pleasure of the public,

then through a series of court cases they became immortal and had various legal protections applied. Some of those legal protections were fine with me, others should be rolled back.
Anyway I'll definitely check this out later today, got a three-hour train ride later so there'll be plenty of time to listen then.
