Perfectly spiritually cruel design for the book about spiritual violence. ⁦David Graeber⁩

Why have carnivals in the first place?

Carnival is an anti-war and activist art movement that is not about party politics. It is not a protest movement in the sense of building bridges with power but aims to reorganize the very logic of our relationship with authorities.

Remembering David: it's been 3 years since his death.
This is David's last video taken in Berlin the day before we left to Venice.
David would die a few days later.

De Verlichtingsidealen worden doorgaans gezien als een westers concept. Maar David Graeber meent dat veel van die ideeën juist buiten Europa ontstonden - bijvoorbeeld bij piraten op Madagaskar.🏴‍☠️ Zo vertelt Anna Blijdenstein bij OVT. Luister terug via: nporadio1.nl/ovt

Here is my review of David Graeber's final book, *Pirate Enlightenment, or the Real Libertalia*, published in The Nation. The book is brilliant and a lot of fun. Highly recommended.

But the story of Libertalia is still obscure and mystic. I wonder what David would think of Zheng Yi Sao and the Chinese pirate society if he cast his eyes on Asia? worldhistory.org/Zheng_Yi_Sao/ David Graeber 2)

See you there!

Bryce Lillico Robert Reich David Graeber It's not zero-sum. It's a negative-sum monetary system, resulting in a negative-sum economy. 3-4 billion #bullshitjobs are destroying Earth, not contributing anything to society. #climatechange and 'inflation' are symptoms of global nonsense employment.

it is wild to watch people become so alienated from their labor they've come all the way around to interpreting the the types of work from David Graeber's Bullshit Jobs as some sort of capitalist realist virtue and that casts Sisyphus's torture as a self-rewarding success hack.

Daniel Vassallo “Shankar Vedantam talks with David Graeber about the rise of bullshit jobs and how these positions can affect the people who hold them.”

The late, great David Graeber takes on the established view (again) of the enlightenment in this fascinating book. Provocative and piratical as ever.
