Terms of Trade | The empire turns renegade

Hindustan Times  

Donald Trump’s victory in the US elections has already led to and will lead to a lot of, perhaps valid, explanations and counterfactuals.

Book of a lifetime: America by Jean Baudrillard

Baudrillard drives through San Antonio and Salt Lake City, and in Los Angeles discovers the intoxication of the freeway: “Driving is a spectacular form of amnesia. He explains how America is a fiction …

Chili crisp capitalism meets a new wave of Asian American cynicism

LA Times  

There was a time that I might have gotten excited and even emotional upon spotting a bottle of chili crisp in my local Trader Joe’s. And judging by the way the Asian American community has roundly criticized chef David Chang’s recent attempt to trademark the term “chili crunch,” we’ve also reached a new era of Asian American cynicism. Jing Gao, …

Vivek Ramaswamy: 'Woke capitalism is a cultural cancer'

The Telegraph  

By 2021, the woke rubber had hit the business road with such velocity that Ramaswamy says it left him with no choice.

The history of the US police

Al Jazeera  

From slave patrols to the criminalisation of Black communities, racism has been a feature of US policing for centuries.

From neoliberalism to necrocapitalism in 20 years

Al Jazeera  

The focus on the ills of neoliberalism is misplaced. Cameroonian critical theorist Achille Mbembe first described the role of extreme violence in the functioning of larger biopolitical orders as “necropolitics” – not merely a state’s “right” to kill and to organise people to be killed, but to expose them to extreme violence and death and reduce entire segments of populations …
