#Metoo- I was sexually harassed by Dipesh Chakraboty.

I like to read in the loo. My then g.f disliked this habit of mine and substituted Dipesh Charkraboty's 'Provincialising Europe' for my Spider Man graphic novel in the hope of speeding up my ablutions.

Chakraboty- a Po Co hack- writes like shit and thus, by a species of sympathetic magic, speeds up bowel motions. I assumed Charkraboty, like others of his ilk, writes appallingly because he is stupid and ignorant. I didn't realise that his inability to frame a coherent thought was a defensive mutation enabling him to retain plausible deniability in the event of a sexual harassment suit.

Consider the following passage-
The idea of “abstract labor” also leads us to the question of how the logic of capital relates to the issue of historical difference. As is well known, the idea of “history” was central to Marx’s philosophical understanding of “capital.” “Abstract labor” gave Marx a way of explaining how the capitalist mode of production managed to extract from peoples and histories that were all different a homogenous and common unit for measuring human activity. “Abstract labor” may thus be read as part of an account of how the logic of capital sublates into itself the differences of history. In the second part of this chapter, however, I try to develop a distinction that Marx made between two kinds of histories: histories “posited by capital” and histories that do not belong to capital’s “life process.” I call them History 1 and History 2, and I explore the distinction between them to show how Marx’s thoughts may be made to resist the idea that the logic of capital sublates differences into itself. I conclude this chapter by trying to open Marxian categories up to some Heideggerian ruminations on the politics of human diversity." 
Either this is ignorant shit- 'abstract labor' is such as arises by derived demand and can't be sublated by anything at all- or else it is a coded way of saying 'I wanna show you my needle dick. Please don't report me to H.R. I'll give you an A on your Coursework.'

The reference to Heidegger, who shagged Hannah's Aunt in the stationary cupboard, is the giveaway.

Heideggerian ruminations on the politics of human diversity means, asking “are you looking for sexual pleasure” while (a female student) hands in her final paper.

To be fair, the student in question was sporting a sticker declaring 'Sexual Pleasure is not a Crime'. Still, Dipesh was greatly remiss in not simply whipping out his needle dick as a counter-example.

Still, it must be said, the only way to rescue Post Colonial theory from irrelevance is by making Dipesh exhibit his needle dick to all and sundry.

The accusation against Dipesh was made by C Christine Fair- a virulent anti-Pakistan 'hawk' who spreads mendacious propaganda re. drone strikes.

This ex- RAND operative probably linked to the CIA has zero credibility.

She is jumping on the #Me too bandwagon to get sympathy. Still, by targeting Dipesh- a Leftist- she is showing who her pay-master is.

If she is so worried about sexual harrassment why she does not write about Donald Trump- the 'pussy grabber' in Chief?
