Trump wanted to overthrow the election and his hardcore followers believed
that he would provide them direction, but in the end he proved that he is
unable to really lead when it counts. He is not a general, nor a
strategist, nor a coach, nor
Hi Nettime,
Here in the US along with millions of others I have been consumed by the
election drama for the past ten days. Every day beginning with November 3
has been its own news cycle. That Tuesday went deep into the night. And it
was a dark moment. Early returns made for the appearance of a
Though there is much in this exchange to discuss, I'll limit myself to a
correction on a peripheral point: it wasn't Mao that sent in the army. It was
Deng. As long as we're on the issue of how the US is perceived, how homogenous
or heterogeneous it is, , I think it's not such a small thing to
Dear Felix,
With this refreshed invitation, I’ll take a stab at keeping the conversation
going.
As for breaks, ruptures, and discontinuities, I wonder about Nixon’s Silent
Majority, about whether it exists anymore. When Trump finally emerged from his
bunker, his retreat from White House
Dear Nettime,
Partial disclosure: I am married to a leading voice in the field of
college health, one frequently quoted in national media as universities
began to declare suspensions. She has managed campus health at three major
research universities over the past 20 years.

Thank you, Angela.
Until Ryan singled out the tasteless and revealing remark about
Charlottesville, it hadn¹t registered for me. Why not? Because in Bard¹s
response addressed to me, his first line about my post being "so very very
brilliant" put me off to the extent that I didn't even read the
Greetings Nettimers,
For me, the question of identity politics–--what it is, where it comes
from, what problems it creates or exacerbates, its political efficacy and
purchase?cannot be addressed in any useful way without putting primary
significance on what both Brian and Keith, in their
HI Felix and nettime,
Bringing together again the two threads, Bay Area and gentrification
There is clearly a lot going. On a historic scale.
None of this is fundamentally new, but the everyday contradictions this
engenders -- particularly in centers of Western progress -- are more
Mark, Flick:
On the question of whether and how is ³democracy² relevant to an
understanding of Chinese politics, I lean towards Mark¹s views.
To add to them, Flick¹s characterization of the CCP as a ³supreme² ruler, I
must say, is far from the reality (and as for its ³legitimacy,² at the level
Dear Nettime,
As you might imagine, I¹m working out on my own analysis of the Wisconsin
recall election flame-out. I¹m taking my time with this one. What happens
over the next few weeks following the June 5 election will be important in
setting up the next phase of the struggle here and will say
My friend at Yahoo, a senior engineer, tells me that his co-workers are in a
lather. Their CEO, known for a leadership style, reorganization strategy,
and corporate housecleaning method akin to swinging a double-headed axe
blindfolded, apologized twice last week for having made the mistake not of
Dear Nettime:
While the rest of the American left was out on May Day celebrating, trying
to make something happen, or block business as usual, Occupy Madison marked
the day by quietly closing down the encampment they¹d held for months. The
fact that this development meant practically nothing to
From Jay Brown, our friend and travel companion. I will be in Wuhan in a few
days along with nettimers Brian and Claire, at Wuhan University, we will
certainly ask about this incident.
