It’s easy to think you’re escaping political binaries just by picking one side of them. For example the solution to the disaster of most privatisation isn’t to nationalise, to make it public. 1/4

As soon as you pick a team in that debate, you’ve lost. It’s pretending there *is* a meaningful distinction between private and public that is the problem. It’s the same with local/global. None of the cars or food or electricity or even water in my town is ‘local’. 2/4

Binaries are created to generate team sports. Our dominant cultural model. Here’s the news today, about ankle socks v no ankle socks. Fashions and fads - what’s ‘trending’ - is this same cultural model. Always comes with a binary. Two teams. 3/4 https://t.co/w9PyJOK6UT https://t.co/1ZD3mbmArK

What we call politics is exactly the same model, it’s not an analogy. Every day some new fashion or fad, which in politics we call an ‘issue’. With its binary teams, that we can back. All society is social. All of it. Even science, politics…everything. /end
