I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors.

Great work everyone.

You have lived long enough to see a French anti-fascist organisation (a traditionally very anti-US milieu) organise a ‘rally in solidarity with the American people’.
La Digue appelle à un rassemblement de solidarité avec le peuple palesti... ah, non, avec le peuple américain, ce mercredi devant le MEAE.
What a time to be alive...

Right: presenting the said paper as a keynote at a fancy conference.

"We saw the picture he drew for Jeffrey Epstein. That wasn't bad at all," the rector explained. "He certainly has the necessary ego."

We are in a new world. Europe, but not only Europe.
Not the sort of letter committed to paper by a well man. "Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace"

This is the key point.
What European leaders have been most nervous about is the US pulling back on NATO or Ukraine… but how can Europe trust the US will come to its defense if its trying to seize territory from a NATO country. They can’t. So why cave to keep a security commitment that is not real. 6/

Wenn ihr eindreiviertel Stunde Zeit habt, hört euch dieses Gespräch zwischen @janskudlarek.bsky.social und @thomaszimmer.bsky.social an. Thomas gibt einen tiefen Einblick in den Horror und gibt einem Hoffnung.

#Trump #Trump33
Ein Jahr Trump: Ein Jahr Gewalt, Lügen & Widerstand. Mit Historiker und USA-Experte Thomas Zimmer rede ich darüber, wie Trump die US-amerikanische Demokratie demoliert. Ebenso gehts um Demos, um Antifaschismus und um die tägliche Verteidigung der Freiheit – auch hierzulande, gegen die AfD!
Podcast #27: Ein Jahr Trump. Ein Jahr Gewalt, Lügen & Widerstand
Thomas Zimmer und ich reden u.a. über Propaganda, Lügen, und darüber, warum man MAGA-Erzählungen nicht glauben darf. Wie man dagegenhält. Wie man klar im Kopf bleibt.

It reminds me a bit of Brexit: we now spend so much time and effort solving a problem that is unnecessary and self-made - while there is an actual war going on on our continent.

I just finished a three-year term as an editor at an international relations journal. I began at the start of the LLM era but ended right in the middle of it. Our volume of submissions tripled and our desk reject rate rose to 75%. I have some thoughts.
