the concept of due process becomes real muddled when the state can snatch you from being a legal observer, or from attending a music festival, or for providing mutual aid, charge you with terrorism, & leave you in legal limbo for 2 years. which is what’s happening to 61 people in the Cop City RICO!

One of the worst analyses of Sinners I’ve read—completely missing how the film explores Irish colonization, forced assimilation into Western whiteness, & the Irish vampires’ attempt at appropriation as trying to find lost cultural connection. Vampirism was a symbol for whiteness, not white people.
A snippet from a Sinner review that reads: “Among the film’s welter of ideas is that cultural cross-fertilization equals appropriation or theft — that Blues music would have remained “pure,” if not for those evil white spirits, as represented here by, yes, Irish-Celtic folk music, whose artists stole the Blues from Black People for purely selfish ends.”

Really incredible story unraveling in this thread, where Amazon and other sites have seemingly been able to sell an academic textbook that was withdrawn in 2021 and never actually printed or published, without the knowledge of the press, editors or contributors. Something has gone deeply wrong!
