Why we have to make the Jewish Ghetto comparison
Why we have to make the Jewish Ghetto comparison

From Capitalism to Technofeudalism
From Capitalism to Technofeudalism

This post largely aligns with my views on the near future (and likely explains my fascination with cyberpunk culture to boot) - and name drops Naomi Klein's latest book Doppelganger.

I'm almost finished her book and you'll be hearing more about soon as it brilliantly connects the dots to the parallel (distraction) world of conspiracy culture while in reality capitalism continues its unchecked conversion of the living to the dead.

Israel Is Losing this War
"Such warnings have been ignored by the Biden administration and Western leaders, whose unconditional embrace of Israel’s war is rooted in the delusion that Israel was just another Western nation peacefully going about its business before it suffered an unprovoked attack on October 7—it’s a comforting fantasy to those who prefer to avoid recognizing a reality they’ve been complicit in creating."

American Antifa: The Tactics, Culture, and Practice of Militant Antifascism - Stanislav Vysotsky - Google Books
Since the election of President Trump and the rise in racist and white supremacist activity, the militant antifascist movement known as antifa has become increasingly active and high profile in the United States. This book analyzes the tactics, culture, and practices of the movement through a combination of social movement studies and critical criminological perspectives.Based on extensive fieldwork and interviews with activists, this book is the first scholarly sociological analysis of contemporary antifascist activism in the United States. Drawing on social movement studies, subculture studies and critical criminology, it explains antifa's membership, their ideology, strategy, tactics and use of culture as a weapon against the far right. It provides the most detailed account of this movement and also cuts through much of the mythology and common misunderstandings about it.This book will be of interest to scholars and students in sociology, political science, anthropology, criminology, and history; however, a general audience would also be interested in the explanation of what drives antifa tactics and strategy in light of the high-profile conflicts between fascists and antifascists.
