Guys, I'm starting to have bad feelings about this century.

Germany, never not a center of capitalist reaction

Yeah. I dunno if it's just me, but the enshittification and slopification of everything just boosts my appetite for radical form (duration, of course, is even more relevant for cinema and music) www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Nothing to see here, just a German military mega-contractor with cartel appetite (and a big male energy CEO who loves to hunt) ditching civilian manufacture and monopolizing earth-to-space production and building its factories all over (mostly Eastern) Europe www.ft.com/content/a326...

Frankly, after failing Palestine, no humiliation is too great for 'the ummah'

Epstein imperialism. Let's not forget that UN peacekeepers in Bosnia were involved in sex trafficking.

Our winter special, "Bodies of the Balkans," begins with a piece by Alja Gudžević that takes us to Ikaria, where stories of hunger and long life unfold.

The German Research Foundation, possibly the most important funding body for academic research in Germany, is now not only allowing the use of AI to write applications, they‘ll also allow it to evaluate said applications. Only prerequisite is that one makes this transparent. It‘s a farce.

When Ranciere goes hard he goes hard

People who feel compelled to point out that Maduro was a shitty leader before condemning US imperialism are getting it backwards. If he had been better for Venezuela, the US, if anything, would probably have gotten rid of him much sooner.

Fuck Germany (and Austria).

Here are my top10 films of the decade so far

I deplore how the German and western political classes have abused Holocaust memory to the point that publics have lost faith in its lessons.

Nichts ist so deutsch wie eine BILD-Kolumne, die den palästinensischen Bürgermeister von Jesus‘ Heimatstadt belehrt, er habe die „Weihnachtsbotschaft nicht verstanden“ — weil er über das Leid der Palästinenser spricht. Eine Einreichung in letzter Minute für den kartoffeligsten Text des Jahres. 👏🏆🇩🇪

I need yall to know that this is still the best essay written about the current German mind. You won't get it anywhere else and really speaks to the heart (or should I say, subconscious) of rising German racism and die-hard support for Israel.

You're welcome.

I just read this yesterday and it just blows my mind that hating Germany isn't just the common sense position lol.
