I'm very disappointed that you've completely ignored the calls for de-funding and abolishing police. Never mind the fact that BLM's concrete demands have had a universalist character for basically as long as they've been around. This (police abolition) is the only thing seriously politically engaged Americans are discussing past a couple of offhand comments.

I don’t think anyone is really falling for identity politics shtick in sense people like Jeff bezos more.

In US i think of statue destruction as not historical ignorance as widespread alienation and questioning of legitimacy of government as a whole. Not sure why Washington’s statue is valued here. He defended slavery and very likely us revolution favored property class at expense of working class. My take is i approve of all statue removal by mass movement but not going to do it myself.

I thought this was a cracking episode. I loved the brief debate about whether or not football is a working-class sport. (I don't think any sport appropriated or invented by public schools can be working-class.) Also, the disconnect between history and politics is a vital topic for building a new class-based politics. I can't stand what is happening but perhaps Phil and I are being old fogeys about it.
