@McMeherr Good to know

[Anamika @anamikasarkerr]

While my preference has been to continue with LIC due to its longstanding credibility, my patience is wearing thin.

Please treat this as a matter of urgency and provide a clear and actionable resolution at the earliest. I look forward to your swift response.

[Anamika @anamikasarkerr]

I chose to pursue this policy because of the trust associated with LIC. However, this experience has been deeply frustrating, as I have yet to see the level of responsiveness I would expect from an institution of your reputation.

[Anamika @anamikasarkerr]

I have been corresponding with your team over email and phone calls for several weeks now. Currently, all my applications remain stuck in the proposal stage, with no progress or resolution.

everybody has said enough about exercising one's right in our "democracy," but when when the system is so blatantly rigged, what hope do we cling on to for change?

#LokSabha2024: The (not so) great Indian election. Our reporting in recent weeks has made it clear that something is deeply wrong with India's electoral machinery. A thread 🧵

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

What we are seeing with Gaza is manufactured narrative splatting against reality over and over again. The western empire churns out propaganda narratives about what Israel is doing, and those narratives are crashing headlong into raw video footage and concrete facts in ways you don't often see.

Here are some examples of made-up narratives:

• October 7 was an unprovoked attack
• "Israel has a right to defend itself"
• Jewish people can't be safe unless they have a homeland in which they receive preferential treatment over other ethnic groups
• There cannot be peace until Hamas is eliminated
• All civilian casualties are the fault of Hamas

Here are some examples of objective reality:

• Raw video footage of civilians who've been burned, mutilated and ripped apart by Israeli military explosives
• Photos of dead children who've been killed in Israeli airstrikes
• The objective fact that journalists are being killed at a historically unprecedented rate in this onslaught
• The objective fact that civilians are being killed at a much higher rate than in other modern conflicts
• The objective fact that Israel is laying siege to a civilian population while systematically displacing them en masse and destroying their healthcare system

The former category consists entirely of insubstantial thought fluff; they're stories people made up to advance their own agendas, and have no objective reality in and of themselves. The latter category consists of the concrete realities of the material world.

Relatively few people are fully aware of just how extensively mental narrative dominates human consciousness, and how this has allowed human civilization to be dominated by whoever can control what our society's dominant narratives are. The US-centralized empire, of which Israel is a part, has succeeded in establishing a system of narrative control whose sophistication and efficacy has no parallel or precedent.

But in Gaza it isn't working. It isn't working because there's no amount of propaganda spin you can put on raw data that is self-evidently unacceptable and inexcusable. No matter how much propaganda spin you heap on top of a video of a dismembered child, you cannot persuade me that it is fine and acceptable.

This is a very, very big problem for the empire. There is panic happening behind the scenes. What's happening in Gaza is unspeakably horrific, and Israel's atrocities must end immediately. But if there's any silver lining in all this horror, it's that people are being snapped out of the imperial propaganda matrix like never before.

What's the danger of a world without beauty?

If everything is simply functional, simply useful, then life becomes a mere conveyor belt.

It turns humans into machines of consumption, labour, & reproduction.

Aren't we more than that?

@ArchaeoNomad @ArchaeoNomad your DMs aren't open for me to send you their contact details.
