The ol' Block: PESCO insiders, WTO work-arounds, and "de-gendered" Other Respondents
LALKAR | Brexit is maturing the conditions for Irish reunification

With the revolutionary nationalists of Sinn Féin steadily gaining in support and breathing down their necks, the Dublin government, despite being led by Fine Gael, traditionally the most pro-British party in mainstream politics in that state, has been forced to take a stand. And, with Britain heading for the exit, rather than being even-headed, the remaining 26 member states of the EU only have an obligation to back the Irish position.

It was therefore highly significant that an opinion poll conducted in early December showed for the first time that people in the north of Ireland would prefer to join a united Ireland and maintain their EU membership than stay in the UK and be outside the bloc in the event of a 'hard Brexit'. ... Duncan Morrow, a Politics lecturer at Ulster University, described the result as probably the first time a poll in northern Ireland had shown "a majority for a United Ireland in any circumstances".

It is important to also note that Sinn Féin does not give a blank cheque to the reactionary imperialist role of the EU. On 13 December, Sinn Féin MEP Lynn Boylan condemned two votes in the European Parliament, which called for greater militarisation. Speaking from Strasbourg, she said:"Not only have the Fine Gael MEPs voted in favour of the militarisation of the EU and shown their commitment to increased defence spending, they have also voted in favour of removing the national veto on common foreign and security policy decisions. This would make small member states like Ireland virtually powerless when it comes to foreign policy decisions. "Fine Gael need to be clear with the Irish people about the militarised, undemocratic Europe that they are helping to build."

The ol' Block: "de-raced" normative behaviors, authority, and patronage-formerly-known-as'white supremacy'
Bruce Dixon elaborates on his skeptical treatment of "intersectional" descriptions of civil rights and their instrumentality in prescribing political revolution of any sort* and profound scope. After all, apparent changes of the guard have not much altered ideology reserve for themselves: to each s/her own, one by one.

Like intersectionality afro-pessimism is not a theory. Like intersectionality, it only describes and does not explain.

Clearly, the afro-pessimist injunction against working with non-blacks is a prescription for impotence. People of African descent are 13% of the US population. Slavery didn't end until the political moment when a plurality of white people sided with blacks to end it. Reconstruction folded only when that plurality was shrunken, disarmed and shattered. Jim Crow also ended at the political moment that a plurality of whites took the same side as blacks to kill it. But afro-pessimists, even the ones who talk about reparations, rule coalitions off the table period exclamation point. How they plan to achieve that without cultivating and working with non-black political partners is anybody's guess. But I misspoke-- Afro-pessimists do not plan. They engage, they propose, they put on a show making the point that nobody is or ever was as oppressed as they are, all in the same self-involved spirit of post structuralist intersectionality. Their shtick isn't even unique; there's a queer pessimist discourse that sounds a lot like Frank Wilderson or Ta-Nehisi Coates on whatever drug is the opposite of speed. ... "libidinal economy."

"women and minorities", a locution doubtless approved by AP and Chicago style editors to differentiate two groups of people by some significant criterion < reckless eyeballin' > other than gender, not sex.

Please refer to 3. Problems with the sex/gender distinction for further guidance on differential calculus of violence reported by 'minorities', not 'women'.

The corresponding unit of analysis is 'minority women'
