Are we really comparing “cancel culture” which is usually associated with bipoc
and queer people raising red flags over violent behavior with...Nazis?
People have talked about cancel culture as having “disastrous consequences”?

I didn’t know nettime is a place for going off on racially fueled conspiracy

Westerners love to blame China and play with the idea of punishing China for

I became of the maker movement through education and saw it mostly as an
education trend, which meant that it was a bunch of millennial and gen x people
trying to read what gen z wants and needs for the imaginary
A couple people recommended this book to me, so I read it last night. Here are
some of my thoughts:
1. Haider’s statement that white supremacy is a better recruiter than socialism
is spot on.
2. I enjoyed his connection that race is class and any definition of race goes
back to class
I usually and prefer to lurk but since we’re talking about Generation Queer, I
want to weigh in as a queer 26 year old :) Here’s the longest thing I’ve ever

In my experience, only predators use this sort of rationale.
Since nettime is a mostly male space, I’d like to propose that we adopt a
community guideline asking participants to watch their misogyny and, when

God! Asking women to put a gender and race neutral class
I cannot believe (but can believe) that the discussion has become a typical one
of ~Millennials and Gen Z need to grow up already!~ Alexander, your claim that
the class oppressed need to study white male academics whose works are only
kept in circulation by an echo chamber of elitism such as

Hey All,
I want to share my workshop, Astrology and Storytelling, with this
community. The course will be using astrology as a system of abstraction

I absolutely agree with Angela: "a theory of capitalism that is not also
a theory of racism and gender (and sexuality) is a very poor theory of
