My interview with @france24.com on extremist Bolsonaro Jr. Flavio Bolsonaro's life is permeated by scandals. Accusations of embezzlement, links with death squads, and what have you. But the biggest scandal is that he received 47% of votes in the first round. youtu.be/B4VDqRbV_w4?...

After the rivers of blood speech, precisely no one in the major parties patted themselves on the back and declared free speech to be alive and well. They declared Powell a pariah, and he was only able to re-emerge in public life as the incongruous unionist MP for South Down.

We all known that #terrorism is a contested concept, but very few dispute that it refers to illegitimate violence. With examples from #Ukraine and, to a lesser extent, #Palestine, we propose a different view of the term terrorism emphasising its relation w/human suffering. doi.org/10.1017/eis....
