“EVERY move you make, every twitter feed you update, somebody is watching you. You may not think twice about it, but if you use a social networking site, a cellphone or the internet regularly, you are leaving behind a clear digital trail that describes your behaviour, travel patterns, likes and dislikes, divulges who your friends are and reveals your mood and your opinions. In short, it tells the world an awful lot about you.”
@F414 There is no such thing as “capitalism” #
@sdv_duras @F414 [..] are you going to explain why we cannot describe the dominant socio-economic system in a term ? #
@F414 @sdv_duras “capitalism”is based ona simplistic,monolithic view of reality that is in turn based ona simplistic,deterministic view of history #
@sdv_duras @F414 of course I disagree but then you already knew that didn’t you, but then I tend to think that naming something helps us understand it #
@pareidoliac @sdv_duras @f414 naming may assist understanding and equally contribute to making hidden other things… #
@sdv_duras @pareidoliac sure i agree with that, but I would still maintain that a definition and name is a useful starting point… for example without # the name and concept of ‘feminism’ … well we know what that would mean in our society # […] I’m not speaking as a leftist here but as someone interested in why specific acts of naming are being refused # for example where ANT theorists refuse the notion of capitalism they end up with something un-understandable by non academics # for some reason that really bothers me… #
@pareidoliac @sdv_duras well i agree with @f414 that capitalism tends to be used in totalizing ways that are hardly productive of understanding # when used by non academics, ‘capitalism’ often tends to be entirely absurd! # when used by Marxist academics, ‘capitalism’ tends to play into a game of reification # perhaps if those who like the term were less ambitious with their goals… # i wonder if ‘capitalism’ is as misleading as ‘democracy’ or ‘terrorism’ for that matter? #
@sdv_duras @pareidoliac - that’s a different thing entirely, a matter of academicism, not being one its not my concern # a term like capital is a short hand which you can unpack and use, it’s a tool how you unpack it and use it is what amatters #
@pareidoliac @sdv_duras i agree with you re: ‘capital’ yet when we look at so many cases of how this is unpacked and used… that IS what matters! #
@sdv_duras @pareidoliac - if you reject all the huamn ‘isms’ including religion, science, democracy, liberal etc you reject all human knowledge #

@hannahnicklin My 2p: Putting the #BNPonBBC doesn’t legitimise them,1000s of people voting for them does.People are racist, we need to face this in public. +
@autobees First car crash point. Jack Straw should not be trying to compete with the BNP on who has the toughest immigration policy. Argh! #bbcqt +
@syrianews Warsi calls for limits on numbers of immigrants. Idiot. She is playing the BNP’s game. Idiot. +
@pickledpolitics Sayeeda Warsi and Jack Straw position on immigration is the same. She just said it better #BBCQT +
@syrianews They are trying to be better immigrant-bashers than the BNP. This is how low British politics has sunk. #bbcqt +
@pickledpolitics But the Conservative Party’s policy on immigration is the same as Labour’s. #BBCQT +
@pickledpolitics Chris Huhne sounding a bit hawkish on immigration… unusual for him. Suspect they’re all trying to outmaneuver Griffin #BBCQT +
@hannahnicklin #bbcqt I’m so bored with this fallacious anti-immigration rhetoric -a debate entirely cultivated by lazy right wing media +
@hannahnicklin And it hurts that Labour can’t acknowledge how bloody necessary immigration is to our ageing population, and groaning public sector #bbcqt +
@syrianews Griffin: we are the aborigines here (FACTUALLY BOLLOCKS) +
@LostLondon Is anyone going to tell them all idiots they would not be so many immigrants if they stopped messing other countries up?! #bbcqt +
@hannahnicklin OK, according to the internet, if a ‘proper Britain’ has to be as of 17000 years ago, we need to be Ukranian http://bit.ly/2Wp6j8 #bbcqt +
@autobees All of the parties are tripping over the topic of immigration to show they have the toughest policy & are pandering to BNP tactics. +
@autobees The most challenging questions on immigration came from patriotic British Black/Asian people. Interesting. +
@autobees One of the moments where the audience laughed & heckled the most: indigenous English are like Indigenous Red Indians & were there 1st. +
@jamiepotter RT @paulbradshaw: If you think #bbcqt somehow burst the BNP bubble remind yourself of these reactions http://bit.ly/3yMOMa +
@ninapower Never mind Griffin, the whole debate took place on racist terms. Fucking depressing. +
@kpunk99 RT @bat020 Warsi’s drivel demonstrates how the very presence of the BNP pulls political discourse sharply to the right #bbcqt +
@kpunk99 Of course the reverse is also true. Reason that the BNP has gained ground is how right wing the mainstream discourse on immigration is. +
