Qué cantidad de lugares comunes. La “pasión” por Mamdani se debe justamente a lo contrario del santurronismo y la ética barata de colegio de curas . Es un mensaje conciso y político. Muy alejado del narcisismo y el moralismo que son expresiones de la impotencia de mucha izquierda

Feminist theory remains undefeated in explaining the weirdest parts of the Trump administration. I'm just going to keep posting this skeleton-key-to-MAGA passage, written over 40 years ago, until everyone gets it.

"To say that straight men are heterosexual is only to say that they engage in sex (fucking exclusively with the other sex, i.e., women). All or almost all of that which pertains to love, most straight men reserve exclusively for other men. The people whom they admire, respect, adore, revere, honor, whom they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to, whom they are willing to teach and from whom they are willing to learn, and whose respect, admiration, recognition, honor, reverence and love they desire… those are, overwhelmingly, other men. In their relations with women, what passes for respect is kindness, generosity or paternalism; what passes for honor is removal to the pedestal. From women they want devotion, service and sex.

Heterosexual male culture is homoerotic; it is man-loving.”
― Marilyn Frye, The Politics of Reality: Essays in Feminist Theory

So how it is going in Finland? A Finnish man carelessly mentioned in the unemployment office that he plays drums as a hobby and a friend had asked him to play in his band for one gig. So he had - among other things - detail, to an hour, how much time the hobby had taken during the last DECADE.

Aimé Césaire did not use the term "imperial boomerang" in French, he used the term colonial blow-back. The idea was that in the act of colonizing, the colonizer damages himself too. It was not just that something you put out there will eventually come back but that colonial society is already sick.

🌹After 21 Years Behind Bars, a Palestinian Novelist Who Helped Redefine Palestinian Prison Literature Steps Into Freedom “Peace be upon Gaza, on the day it fights, endures, and resists this colonialism,” said novelist Bassem Khandaqji yesterday, in his first public comments after being released...

In 2022, he penned a novel called, “A Mask Dyed the Color of the Sky” about Nur, a Palestinian archaeologist living in a refugee camp near Ramallah who discovers a blue Israeli identity card in the pocket of an old coat. Over time he assumes the identity of the card’s owner, “Ur,” in order to infiltrate Israeli-controlled spaces.

Friends in France translated and published his books including his 2022 novel while he was still imprisoned, and his family signed novels at launch events in Ramallah on his behalf. In 2024, Bassem Khandaqji was awarded the International Prize for Arabic Fiction—often called the “Arabic Booker.”

(Based on information reported by Al Jazeera Arabic. Picture taken upon his release in Egypt.)

I struggle to think of an editorial board that's been more overtly racist and genocidal that the NY Times one. This is on the level of Putinist bullshit about denazifying Ukraine.

NYT editorial board calls for deradicalizing the surviving Palestinians in Gaza The multinational authority should have an ambitious agenda. It would span the restoration of basic services, the feeding of the population, the reconstruction of neighborhoods and the creation of a police force. Crucially, as experts at the Wilson Center in Washington have argued, this authority should create a program in schools, the media and elsewhere "to remove Hamas's pervasive radicalizing influence over Gazan society." Another task would be disarming any Hamas fighters who keep fighting. Qatar, given its longtime relationship with Hamas, can help pressure the group, much as the United States can pressure Israel. There are historical antecedents for an international mission along these lines. Deradicalization programs succeeded in Germany and Japan after World War II, and multinational police forces have operated in Bosnia, Kosovo, Haiti and elsewhere. Of course, these efforts come with dangers. Participating countries would risk having their personnel become targets for Hamas.

Large swathes of urban Britain have been absolutely decimated by austerity. Walk around them. It's visible.
