Can the Counterculture Rise Again? Donald Trump and tech billionaires have killed the counterculture that thrived in past eras of protest. Can today's artists lead the resistance again?

این خیلی خوب بود. می‌گه بیگ تک و ترامپ و فاشیست‌های راست/مذهبی (و البته enabler های به اصطلاح دمکرات‌شون) با همکاری هم تو این دوره‌ی tech authoritarianism روال مقاومت هنرمندها و روشن‌‌فکرها - که منجر به خیزش‌های counterculture مثلن در دهه‌ی شصت شده - رو از بین بردن.

Even the Hospitals Aren’t Safe in Iran As the regime imposes a forced forgetting of the massacres in January, it has begun targeting not only wounded protesters but medical workers, who have borne witness to some of the worst atrocities.

After mass protests erupted across Iran, scores of wounded demonstrators were left scrambling for medical help. Many government-run hospitals began operating as an extension of the regime’s security forces, targeting anyone who dared to seek treatment. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/sBiGD5

Epstein couldn't stop emailing people about eugenics In the latest files, the trafficker gives it a Silicon Valley–pilled name: "genetic altruism."

I parsed through some of the emails in the Epstein files, and it’s very clear that Epstein was a eugenicist weirdo. Something he very much had in common with the billionaire class à la Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Donald Trump. New for @motherjones.com.

هم عکس‌ها قشنگ، هم هر بار هندل بلوسکایت رو می‌بینم یاد آخر فیلمه و اون تگ زنگ در میفتم. جزو فیلم‌های مورد علاقه‌امه :)

خیلی چیز قابل اتکایی نیست. احتمالن جمع‌آوری دیتاش کامل نبوده یا یه cut off point رندمی داشته. گروه‌بندیش هم با این‌که جالبه ولی اون‌قدرها دقیق نیست. هم مدل embedding فارسیش به اندازه‌ی انگلیسی قابل اعتماد نیست هم شبکه‌ی فارسی‌زبان‌ها خیلی sparse تره و اطلاعات کم‌تری می‌شه ازش استخراج کرد

It shouldn't be complicated to understand that ethno-supremacy is not just bad when the Zionists do it against Palestinians but also when the Ayatollah's goons do it against Kurds or Ahvazis.

Iranian leftists imprisoned, tortured, exiled by that mass murdering regime of ultra-conservative misogynist clerics should not also have to constantly explain that the regime that declared war on leftists is not a friend of the left.

‘Anti-imperialism’ is today rarely anything more than an excuse for authoritarians with left-wing aesthetics to reaffirm their demand that Iranians shut the fuck up about their own dreams and aspirations.

This is a real problem. Anti-authoritarianism cannot be optional. Internationalism cannot be reduced to when the baddies are easily identifiable within a traditional anti-imperialist mindset that limits itself to Western forms of imperialism.

Does keeping your boots on Iranians’ throats get better if you also shove “Free Palestine” down them?

What is the price of ‘the cause’?...And who gets to decide who pays that price? The Iranian regime can murder people in their tens of thousands... yet...it continues to convince so-called anti-imperialists that, no matter the scale of repression, the Islamic republic is on the right side of history.

"Did the serial execution or exile of dissidents including Marxists make Iran a better fighter for Palestinian rights, or a worse one? Does keeping your boots on Iranians’ throats get better if you also shove “Free Palestine” down them?"

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it

How the men in the Epstein files defeated #MeToo The emails show the “anti-woke” crusaders are afraid of accountability.

All these men driving women out of their fields with giggly idiot grabassery and then bloviating to the public about how the lack of women is proof of male intellectual superiority... I hate them all. I hate them so much.
