One thing that annoys and depresses me is how utterly unimaginative, uncreative, trite, predictable, uninspiring, unproductive, self destructive, unclever, uninsightful, unoriginal, stagnated, pedestrian, antediluvian and uncivilized racism and racists are.

White supremacy is not a “legitimate view.”
Vilifying migrants is not “reasonable debate.”
Eugenics is not a “controversial belief.”
Genocide is not a “justified action.”
These are all examples of violent racism. We should recognise this basic fact and reject such politics unapologetically.

Shameful bullish. What's done incalculable damage is a decade of pernicious falsehoods about immigration, while people who should know better refuse to counter the lies of the increasingly normalised far right.

This essay contains thoughts that led to a chapter I wrote, “Educating for the End of a Necropolitical World" (link in essay). My question remains: does and can the work we do open up possibilities for living differently in the world? Or is it all more of the same?
