Vijay Prashad & Gabriel Rockhill

Prashad has some good longform interviews on "Breakthrough News" (plenty elsewhere too), Rockhill has quite incredible content on "Critical Theory Workshop" with his colleague Jennifer Ponce De Leon. Both on youtube.

they definitely only started questioning it weeks after the home front collapse accelerated and their creative offensive stalled

I can't stand this shit ass reporting, at least put some effort into your dumb fuck narrative twists

are you sure there are no imperial tendencies at all in the Russian establishment? This seems unlikely, even if one does not read present policy as imperialist

[–] redline@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 month ago

this is a good corrective to a tendency I would say I have recognised in myself, particularly having read some Cesaire for the first time recently

great stuff, kind of a nightmare to take on a real attempt at understanding the state of play and all the factions in and outside the region

I would like to be paged when said expert explains it, can I do that somehow? or does someone need to @ me?

It really has been too long, I wish I could have recognised the sublime in 100 days no garfield as it was unfolding.

It was truly a beautiful time in my life, but to reminisce is to relive and to treasure what is lost in all its excellence. The frost of winter however, must inevitably be followed by the spring of 200 days no garfield.

When 100 days no garfield times are done, must the stars also go out?

But isn't so much journalism nowadays characterised by unsubstantiated speculation? (i.e. propaganda, if not simply clickbait filler pretending analysis)

It seems to me your criticism amounts essentially to your dislike of the thesis of this piece. This can be legitimate, but not what you've argued here.

Isn't this piece an example of precisely the supposed promise of the internet, in the sense that journalism becomes democratised and anyone can publish and disseminate analysis, which can be evaluated on its merits rather than institutional validation and inertia based on opaque criteria? (I would of course argue the aggregated needs of capital, but I won't force that in)
