Fun Is Now Canceled in Russia as Putin Goes Full Grinch
In a video posted to YouTube this week, the head of Moscow’s department of culture, Aleksandr Kibovsky, declared that a recent decree signed by Vladimir Putin “to strengthen Russian traditional, spiritual and moral values” gives Russian authorities the green light to cleanse the country’s cultural scene from all “Western influence.”Read more

The growing disconnect between the capitalist system and the economic realities plaguing the United States is now nearing completion. On the ground, the accumulated problems of U.S. capitalism undermine its empire and challenge its very future. Meanwhile, the ever-deepening inequalities of wealth and income conjure up images of ancient Egypt’s pharaohs.Read more

Rulers divide the world into 'worthy' and 'unworthy' victims; those we are allowed to pity, such as Ukrainians enduring the hell of modern warfare, and those whose suffering is minimized, dismissed, or ignored. This bifurcation of the world into worthy and unworthy victims is a key component of propaganda, especially in war. In this episode of The Chris Hedges Report, award-winning journalist Peter Oborne joins Chris Hedges to examine how worthy victims are used to allow citizens to see themselves as empathetic, compassionate, and just; how they are an effective tool to demonize the aggressor; and how they are used to obliterate nuance and ambiguity.Read more

Vladajuće klase, rat i razvojni modeli
U analizama rata u Ukrajini uglavnom izostaju ekonomske i klasne strukture Rusije i Ukrajine. Te bi strukture, kao i međunarodno ekonomsko pozicioniranje s obzirom na motive koje generiraju, mogle biti prodornija ulazna analitička točka od cementiranih moralnih pozicija i kavanske geopolitike. Nacrt analize u tom smjeru ponudio je slovenski sociolog Marko Kržan.Read more

Munca de reorientare
Iluminismul nu a propus doar o “raţionalizare” şi o “critică” a autorităţilor şi cunoaşterilor primite la pachet de la vechile regimuri, ci şi orientarea încăpăţînată către un adevăr comun. Contrar sumarelor pe liniuţe promovate de noile autorităţi moderne şi de filosofii eului reificat, nu Adevărul şi Raţiunea, ci orientarea către adevărul comun a fost forţa călăuzitoare a progreselor care constituie partea mai pozitivă a modernităţii. Iar ceea ce concretizează această orientare e o muncă perseverentă, nu o finalitate predefinită. Astăzi, într-o nouă perioadă a acumulării crizelor şi distrugerii, a iluziilor şi degringoladei sociale, mai degrabă decît raţiunea prea uşor înregimentată ori critica ce se pierde în negativ, e necesară munca de reorientare, la mai toate nivelurile: personal, cultural, economic, geopolitic. Care e adevărul comun în fiecare din aceste sfere?Read more
