@kenanmalik.bsky.socialWonderful place, very much worth a visit. In 2023 we did a couple of days in Rome and then got the night train to Sicily. Woke up in the morning having crossed the sea by train-on-ferry overnight!
Show PostThank you for writing such a thoughtful piece and for reading the research so thoroughly.

Show PostTerrific piece. The paranoid logic of security infects the thinking of left and right in a post-political world of mass surveillance, constant vetting & border militarisation — every social problem framed as an emergency to be risk-managed. Supermarkets now look like airports on terror alerts.
Show Post"the way that political issues have become reframed as matters of security, to create 'a world in which fellow civilians are the principal threat, and where military and surveillance technologies are deployed to "fight" them.'"
