Dahomey (2024) dir. Mati Diop

Mati Diop (Atlantics) just won the Golden Bear at Berlin and shouted “I stand with Palestine!” as she accepted her award. Her film deals with the returning of plundered royal treasures from the African Kingdom of Dahomey from Paris to the present day Republic of Benin.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s Christopher Hitchens was the most famous journalist in the English-speaking world. I loved him and was proud to count him as a friend. Yet after his death, it is hard to know what to make of his writing. You can gasp at his learning and his style – he loved the English language and it loved him back. But as a source of inspiration? History has not, apparently, been kind to Hitch.

For readers to know where they stand, writers must be consistent. George Orwell, whom Christopher idolised, was a revolutionary socialist in the 1930s when he served with the POUM militia in the Spanish civil war. He had moderated to become a supporter of the Labour party by the time he wrote Animal Farm and 1984 in the 1940s.But he remained a left-winger. An English nationalist version of a left-winger, to be sure, but a man of the left nevertheless.

By contrast, Hitch was all over the place. In his youth he was a Marxist revolutionary, in theory at any rate. He was a comrade of Perry Anderson, Tariq Ali and other upper-class Marxists who gathered around Verso Books and the New Left Review.  He clearly believed in his version of Trotskyist socialism, but remained the strangest Marxist I have met. He had no interest in the economics of socialism. Instead, he was in love with the anti-Stalinist dissident tradition in communism that Leon Trotsky exemplified, and the Soviet state persecuted. Like so many of the 1968 generation it never seemed to occur to him that Trotsky would have been as terrible a dictator as Stalin if he had ever taken power.

In the 1990s he abandoned socialism and reconciled himself with the neoliberal order, as so many did. After 9/11, he became a neo-conservative and was convinced that radical Islam was the gravest threat to the West. His former comrades on the far left, who were themselves taking up the Islamist agenda, denounced him as an apostate.  The venom was extraordinary even by the standards of the far left. After his premature death at the age of just 62 in December 2011, his publishers Verso published a book-length attack on its own writer. As I said at the time, “the publishing house has done something I have not seen since the passing of communism: denounced its dead author for his ideological deviations.”

But with the advantage of hindsight, the people who had the most right to shrug their shoulders and forget Christopher were standard supporters of moderate left-wing politics. As I have been guilty of Christopher’s faults myself, let me spell them out.

For the Marxist half of his life Christopher was denouncing the Labour party in the UK and the Democrats in the US as sellouts. Once Labour is back in power you will see hundreds of imitators on the UK left, who will never match Christopher’s range and gusto, do the same. Like me, Hitchens was from an English journalistic culture, which is rarely comfortable with the Labour party.  The Guardian’s politics vary from liberal to post-communist, but the paper has few authentic Labour voices. It’s hardly alone in that. Not one highbrow publication, not the New Statesman or the London Review of Books, is authentically Labour. If a foreigner were to arrive and ask to be shown the UK paper that reflects Labour thinking, you would be hard pressed to offer one.

In the US, Hitchens’ most famous polemic was a dissection of the Democrat president Bill Clinton, which earned him many friends on the right. He hated Hilary Clinton with a passion and was never happier than when exposing the hypocrisies of progressives.

So what, you might say, writers must call it the way they see it, and progressive hypocrisy provides an endless source of material.

But then Christopher turned on his head and became a neo-conservative and attacked the moderate centre-left with the same venom from the right. Once again, he was saying what he believed, as all writers must. But look at Hitchens work from the point of view of the people defending moderate leftish policies in the Democrats or Labour. One minute he’s attacking the centre-left from the far-left, the next from the neo-conservative right. His position changes, his dislike of the centre-left remains.

The problem for anyone trying to assess his work in our age is not only keeping up with his U-turns. It ought to be perfectly clear that the boring centre left he despised all his life is the last best hope of Anglo-Saxon democracies. The Republican party under Trump is a threat to the American republic. Only the Democrats can save it. Meanwhile, I dare anyone to deny that the Conservative party has destroyed the UK with austerity, Brexit and Truss, and that a moderate Labour party offers our only conceivable redemption.

We have learned the hard way that our most urgent task is defensive. We need to embrace any compromise for the greater good of keeping conservatives from power. And Christopher despised compromise.

Christopher died in 2011, and could not have predicted the world of Trump and Brexit. Yet you can make the case that he offers little help to those of us trying to resist it.

Matt Yglesias said on Twitter that he thought Hitchens would have supported Trump. It was a ridiculous accusation but I think I know where it came from. Christopher was a great essayist and newspaper columnist. British comment journalism loves writers who strike an unexpected stance. The roots of the contrarianism Hitchens championed lie in the commercial calculations of cynical newspaper editors that the best way to grab readers’ attention is by shocking them.

The result is it seems today that Hitchens has few heirs among leftwing journalists. His followers are among right-wing and increasingly far-right controversialists, whose fellow travelling with Trump will destroy them as surely as the fellow travelling with Stalin destroyed the leftists of the 20th century that Orwell and Hitchens opposed.

To contest this bleak memorial for an old friend and to mark the anniversary of Christopher’s death, I interviewed Christopher’s defender, Matt Johnson, the author of the marvellous How Hitchens Can Save the Left: Rediscovering Fearless Liberalism in an Age of Counter-Enlightenment

On this day, 29 September 1975, (content note: sexual violence) two young working class girls were abducted, raped and tortured by wealthy fascists in Italy. Rosaria Lopez (19, left) and Donatella Colasanti (17, right) refused the sexual advances of three young men, all sons of wealthy capitalists in Rome who were all either members or supporters of the fascist Italian Social Movement (MSI). Over the following day women were brutally tortured, chained up, raped and Lopez was murdered by being drowned in a bath top. They attempted to strangle Colasanti to death, and she only managed to survive by playing dead, and remaining silent and motionless when they clubbed her in the head with a metal bar. The fascists then transported the bodies in the boot of their car and drove to a restaurant. When the car was empty, Colasanti began screaming and banging on the inside of the vehicle until being rescued. Colasanti then denounced her accusers, one of whom had previously been convicted of raping two other children. One of the fascists escaped overseas, and is suspected of later faking his death. The other two fascists were eventually imprisoned but were released early. When one of them was released early, he kidnapped and murdered two more people: Maria Carmela Linciano (49) and Valentina Maiorano (14). Another member of the MSI was Georgia Meloni, who has just been elected prime minister of Italy, which US Democratic politician Hilary Clinton welcomed as "certainly a good thing". Meloni openly supported fascist dictator Benito Mussolini, and wrote in her autobiography of her sympathy for fascists in Italy in the 1970s. Although some apologists claim that Meloni is no longer a fascist, as recently as 2020 she was publicly praising Nazi-collaborator and MSI co-founder Giorgio Almirante. We are currently working on podcasts about anti-fascism in Italy.

Joe Biden lied about seeing Palestinians beheading 40 Israeli infants and four days later a Palestinian American six year old was stabbed 26 times in his own apartment. Under Biden's direction the US vetoed UN Security Council vote calling for an Israeli ceasefire that would allow humanitarian aid, medicine and food into Gaza. Then he visited Israel, embraced Benjamin Netanyahu (who is Israel's Donald Trump, look it up) and co-signed the Israeli lie that Hamas blew up Al Ahli hospital themselves, drafted $100 billion dollar foreign aid package, sent weapons to Israel, and gave the go ahead for a genocide in Gaza.

So, no, we will not be voting for Joe Biden in 2024.

It's very clear that the Democrats are running the Bush 9/11 playbook, i.e. Change the Conversation By Starting A War Based On Lies That Will Kill Millions of Arabs, Sustain That Effort Through Clumsy, Racist (but always effective!) Propaganda, And Endanger Arab And Muslim Americans In The Process.

So Instead of supporting universal healthcare in the midst of a global pandemic, forgiving predatory student loan debt that has hobbled an entire generation of young Americans, safeguarding the Supreme Court or protecting Roe from the decades long relentless attacks from the Right, Joe Biden is going to send billions of dollars to one of the richest countries on the planet to leverage his way back into the white house via manufactured crisis and the fake moral injury of "Fifteen 9/11s." (Someone needs to tell Pop Pop that social media exists and we can see Israelis "at war" partying at the beach, eating sushi and taking duck faced mirror selfies on Tik Tok and Instagram in real time, forty miles away from piles of dead babies...)

So no, we will not be voting for Joe Biden in 2024.

The Democrats have clearly decided that they do not need our votes. And/or the votes of other people of color and/or people under 40 and/or actual leftists across demographics-- who all overwhelmingly support Palestine... And if they think they'll keep working class white votes by playing on their Anti-Arab racism and Islamophobia as they watch the money they were told did not exist for them get funneled to one of the richest countries in the world while they struggle... well, good luck with that habibi.

Now, I can already hear the Neoliberal Hot Take Machine whirring to life with self-righteous posts about how "we" have to prevent Trump or any Republican from taking power in 2024. So I want to say to those folks directly, if you are concerned about the loss of potential votes for Biden in 2024, you should be. But instead of whipping up patronizing posts "explaining how politics work" to people living and dying at the mercy of those politics your energy is much better spent reaching out to the Democrats and letting them know that this is a losing strategy for them in 2024.

And if you doubt that Democrats need the votes of the young/ people of color/ leftists/ white working class people to win the Presidency then you can always ask Hilary Clinton. Just give her a call. She's probably at home.

What do you think about Arab Americans refusing to vote Democrat unless they condemn the genocide in Gaza? I kinda feel like every post I've seen arguing against refusing to vote sidesteps that whole issue, including your own. Asking you specifically because you at least acknowledge the genocide in the post.

Alright, so the problem in Gaza is not a democrat problem, its an America problem. This is not about who is currently in power, but about 70 years of foreign policy and over seas American interests. The democrats will never abandon that because a relatively small amount of us on the left threaten to withhold our vote. Once again, it comes down to simple election math. I've explained this before on this blog again and again.

Depending on your area, progressives are up to around 10% of the population, and losing a progressive vote costs the democrat one vote. Centrists make up a minimum of 15%, with even greater numbers in the swing states that actually matter. And a centrist flipping from democrat to republican effectively costs 2 votes for the democrats - a flipped vote for republicans hurts twice as much as losing a leftist. This means that for any action they make to appease the left they have to gain twice as many votes as they lose centrists.

If the left wants to play this kind of election game we need to establish ourselves as a powerful voting block. But for the past 30 years people on the left have been hemming and hawing about voting in elections like Hilary vs Trump and Gore vs Bush and not showing up when it is clearly in our best interest. We have not done what is necessary to establish ourselves as a powerful voting block. If we had, if we hadn't been such lazy cowards about voting strategically, if we had established ourselves as an important, core voting block for the democrats then maybe we could attempt a move like this now. But we didn't. We were a bunch of useless cowards wringing our hands about how Hillary Clinton just didn't excite us, so why the fuck would the establishment democrats give a shit? We are a fickle, useless voting base that couldn't even take California for Bernie.

Meanwhile centrists are extremely reliable. That is a voting block with an extremely strong record. They will vote in high numbers every election in every state, especially swing states. And if they do not vote democrat, they will vote republican.

So on the one hand, we have the left, a small, unreliable, and fickle voting block, and on the other hand we have centrists, a sizable, reliable, consistent voting block that effectively counts double. Who do you think they are going to cater to?

If we want to use electoral politics like this to force change then we are going to need to put a lot of work over a long period of time. Work we on the left have not taken seriously for decades. It is absurd to think that we can suddenly enter the game at this late date and be taken seriously as a voting block. It's asinine.

For that matter, if we really wanted to avert this genocide happening now we should have been working at it seriously for decades. We've all seen the posts by now and read the history, this has been coming for decades. It was just a matter of when it was convenient for Israel to pull the trigger. But we, as the left, have not been making the concerted effort to influence moderate politics that would be required to shift American foreign policy like this. No, far too many of us have been so very concerned about keeping our personal hands clean or just being fucking lazy and not wanting to talk to moderates because it's not as fun as calling for le epic revolution. If every progressive for the past 30 years had made a strong effort to teach the basics of anti colonial politics to the general moderate left, centrist, and moderate right populations, using well considered arguments that appeal to their sensibilities, then this genocide might have been stopped in its infancy. Instead, we didn't. We sat around and complained about racist uncles and dropped friends at the first sign of them being less than perfect and created insular, echo chamber communities where we yell about settlers and a bunch of other bullshit and did nothing. We didn't do the work required. Trying to patch that over in a panic with electoral politics, which we also didn't do the work for, is terrible strategy. No one will be impressed.

And its not like the left's heart has really be in it for fighting this genocide, not completely. Oh, we made a reasonable effort at protest, but since we didn't do the work in either electoral politics or grassroots politics our entire strategy has had to rely on mass protest, which frankly we have not done to nearly the degree required to make up for our other shortcomings. Do you remember the 2020 BLM protests? We have never come close to that kind of disruption in our anti genocide protests. Which is understandable, protesting is dangerous and costly and difficult, but because we were too lazy or high minded to engage in either electoral strategies or mass grassroots conversion strategies up to this point mass protest is all we've got. We bet everything on protests and outrage. But it's not enough. The great flaw of betting everything on protest and outrage is that we can't keep it up forever because it is so costly. We are burnt out from years of protesting and dealing with Covid. It wasn't a month after this whole mess started that people were talking about fatigue and burnout. We don't have near the means or will to deliver the kind of mass riots that would be required to force an abrupt and massive change to American foreign policy. We might be able to cut the genocide short if we keep it up, and therefore we should absolutely keep it up, but frankly stopping it in its tracks was never in the cards for a political group as weak as the US left.

I understand the frustration or even hatred people feel towards democrats right now, I really fucking get it, but doubling down on proven failed strategies in a panic is not the answer. If we start establishing ourselves as an effective voting block now and we start a concerted effort to reach out to moderates and centrists now maybe in 20 years, if we are lucky, we will be powerful enough to throw around our weight with electoral politics. Maybe we will make it in time to avert the next genocide, or maybe us holding that kind of power will mean it never comes to genocide in the first place. But until that time we have no choice but to work within the constraints the failures of the US left of the past decades have left us with.

So I understand the idea, but I am sorry to say it simply will not work. As I said in my other post, the *only* thing you should be thinking of at an election is how it will effect your political goals. For the near future at the very least, vote withholding strategies will not advance any of our political goals and will almost certainly hinder many of them. It is a bad strategy and should not be employed.

It’s actually such a whiplash how in the US the social scale for liberal to conservative is seen as the same scale for economic beliefs of leftism and rightism

Like for instance, my family and pretty much everyone I grew up around in the Deep South of Louisiana were economically leftist or left of center, but everyone around me was very deeply and staunchly socially conservative especially on topics of race, abortion, sexuality, religion, and gender

Meanwhile when you deal with people from “progressive” areas and you basically see their support for rainbow anti-homeless rocks, minority owned weapons of war, girl boss ShEO’s union busting, love for privatizing everything, and so on

I still want to throw myself off a cliff any time people call Hilary Clinton or Obama progressives or leftists

#my leftist values aren’t even unique or unusual for what I grew up in or around #obviously this isn’t defending socially conservative viewpoints #I just hate how they’re seen as the same scale

The oddest thing about the Republican Party and their response across all channels to the SOTU (last night) is how Republicans suddenly care so much about Haiti... About how sleepy Joe needs to "look to Haiti" (most common n-gram)... (Context: Haiti 🇭🇹 is currently an incredibly violent place with armed gangs engaging in a civil war to overthrow the PM -- who isn't in Haiti at the moment -- currently much of the fighting is their attempt to take Port-au-Prince's Toussaint Louverture International Airport.)

iirc the last time the most Russia-aligned political party used "Look to ———" as a talking point, it was "Look to Libya" 🇱🇾 in the 3 months prior to the Benghazi attacks, after Republicans uniformly decried Obama's use of military force in Libya as "an affront to our constitution" (another n-gram).

Earlier this week Biden slipped additional USMC MSCEG into Haiti, including FAST (Fleet Anti-terrorism Security Teams), without telling anyone or making a fuss about it -- or at least Republicans haven't gotten the memo. Expect a Haitian Benghazi-attempt in 3 months, approximately July 4th - August 8th.

While it seems to have been an attempt, Benghazi itself didn't derail Obama's reelection in 2012 (but it kept Republicans distracted and busy for a while). People forget that the future #45 was a presidential candidate for the 2012 elections, using the slogan MAG "Make America Great" (reused in 2016 as MAGA), but that he dropped out (Loser) ...to Mitt Romney! If you look at what Republicans were most mad about, about Benghazi, it's about the purported cover-up and how the attack didn't affect the US election that year!

But the timing and effort that were put in to embarrass the then-Secretary-of-State over Benghazi, at the time maybe paid off and ultimately it was used to great effect in the 2016 election against Hilary Clinton. Current Sec-State is Antony Blinken (who would make an outstanding president), fwiw. (Expect to see Haiti resurface in 2028)

So I started watching watching Once Upon a Time...

I am years late, I know! I know this is an old show that had its moment and most people just remember fondly, but this show is insane and if I can’t talk about it on tumblr I can’t talk about it anywhere, so im gonna talk about it !!

The following includes spoilers for season 1

Thoughts on the main characters: 

Mary Margaret is a hypocritical protagonist (tm) and I don’t like her, but her coats and fashion is peak 2011 style

Emma is boring and also hypocritical 

Regina is evil lesbian Hillary Clinton and I love her, also her backstory was so funny because I was like “I wonder how they are going to justify all her anger towards Snow White?” and then the answer was kind of stupid, but also i really liked that episode so idk 

Prince Charming is the worst character. He is a cheating manipulator and I don’t like him 

The kid (now adult man?) who plays Henry is doing a pretty good job, especially for child actors 

August (pinocchio) is kind of sucks until he shows his wooden leg and then I thought he was kind of hilarious and I loved that 

MR GOLD IS THE BEST PART OF THIS SHOW!11!! He doesn’t chew the scenery, he fucking eats it! This man rolls up with his cane and snappy suit and floors these bitches, and also I am so excited for more Rumbelle

And finally: JUSTICE FOR STEALTHY (and grumpy is like 100% gay but also its awesome he wants to fuck a nun) 

Of course non of these thoughts apply to the actors, they are all totally cool people im sure 

Other random thoughts:

The CGI is so bad in the fantasy sections of the show. Its not even the CGI artists fault either. I just cant it all looks so bad and sparse. like none of the rooms have any stuff in them because of the green screen

Also I kind of expected Red to be the wolf, but at least her whole story was kind of badass 

This show is hella anti-adoption too! And, I get the foster system is fucked up and its meant to be all fantasy, but they go in real hard on “real family” and especially early on in the season it feels weird to me. 

I do like the costume design, especially Red’s costumes and the whole town’s style is very early 2010s disney edgy t-shirt, like the ones where minnie was tatted and stuff

I think all the main characters are sort of crummy people. They have committed fewer actual crimes than Regina, but they aren’t really good either. It reminds me of my favorite song in Into the Woods

My own thoughts on “you don’t need to be a Muslim to support Palestine; you just need to be human.”

As a non-Muslim with close connections to Palestine and Palestinians (if you don’t want to hear my thoughts, scroll past now), I do appreciate when people share this sentiment.

I live in the USA in a not super Muslim area, but I have close relationships with several Muslims who are heavily impacted by recent/ongoing events. Between their very understandable anguish and the things I’m promoted on social media, I am inundated with posts saying “nobody cares” or “only Muslims care” or (worst of all) “the fact that Biden is still in power shows that my western friends don’t care about me or my family.” I understand that it’s easier to believe that average westerners/people with citizenship have unlimited power and choose not to use it than to believe that we are only a few steps less powerless than refugees in America. But it really, really sucks to see stuff like this.

These are people I care about deeply, people I pray for and communicate with regularly, and the pain they experience convinces them I still do not care, that I am no different from Blinken or Hilary Clinton.

I don’t think the people holding these “you don’t need to be a Muslim to support Palestine” signs are thinking of me–they want to spread awareness that non-Muslims should be active in this cause. But it also makes the snubs I face hurt just a little bit less.

Many of the Muslims in my life do not want to engage with me because they are in too much pain to engage with anyone who’s not Muslim. Affinity spaces exist for people who are suffering, but it’s either Jewish anti zionist Jewish spaces where this issue is not personal (“not in my name” rather than “they’re killing my friends”,) or it’s Arab and Muslim-only spaces. I have nowhere to cry about my friends who are dying aside from this page, but I would if I converted to Islam. It’s good to be reminded that I still exist.

"There may also be specifically German factors at work. Within the Green generation, nationalism as a source of social integration has effectively been replaced, more than anywhere else in Europe, by a pervasive Manicheanism that divides the world into two camps, good and evil. There is an urgent need to understand this shift in the German Zeitgeist, which seems to have evolved gradually and largely unnoticed. It implies that, unlike in a world of nations, there can be no peace based on a balance of power and interests, only a relentless struggle against the forces of evil, which are essentially the same internationally and domestically. Clearly this bears some resemblance to an American conception of politics, shared by neocons and Democratic idealists alike, and embodied by someone like Hilary Clinton. The syndrome seems to be particularly strong on the left side of the German political spectrum, which would in the past have been the natural base of an anti-war and pro-peace, or at least pro-ceasefire, movement. Now, however, not even Die Linke would endorse the peace demonstration organized on 25 February by Sahra Wagenknecht and Alice Schwarzer, Germany’s feminist icon, at the risk of breaking the party apart and ceasing to be a political force." - Wolfgang Streeck

[the-yearning-astronaut]

Hmmm I'm starting to see some US political posts that, while I agree with their general point, read a lot like the anti Hilary Clinton posts of 2015 and 2016.

Taking a valid criticism and making it read like a cancel culture post.

Is it a coincidence that these are already showing up in the year leading up to a major and highly critical election year? I think not.

#us politics #politics #i do not want to see this shit again i do not want to go through this again i do not want another conservative asshat in office #who will fuck everything up a gazillion times more than any dem could #including biden #and yet i can see the writing on the wall and i can see shit repeating itself and people not voting because #'both parties are just as bad' #and #'why vote when my vote doesn't matter' and 'well the dems did x y and z bad thing so screw them im not voting' #you think shit's fucked up now?
