J.K. Rowling and her attempts to involve cisgender LHB people in her trans hatred

Geplaatst op door

Harry Potter-writer J.K. Rowling published an anti-trans manifesto on her website a few weeks ago, which attracted a lot of criticism, but unfortunately also some support.

De l’internationalisme à l’antinationalisme

Geplaatst op door

Reconnaître et critiquer le nationalisme n’est pas, c’est le moins qu’on puisse dire, le point fort de nombreux militants et mouvements de gauche et d’extrême gauche. Malheureusement, au cours des quinze dernières années, on a entendu beaucoup trop de voix nationalistes dans le mouvement altermondialiste et plus tard dans le mouvement contre les guerres au Moyen-Orient. A ses débuts, par
