  6. Susan, 18, voluntarily teaches the Kurdish language in one of Kurdistan’s villages. Since teaching the Kurdish language is prohibited in Iranian Kurdistan schools, many volunteers spontaneously teach people to read and write Kurdish. Most people in villages are jobless and doing Kolbari to earn a bit of money. Kurdistan, Iran, December 2012.

  7. Horseshoe theory is bullshit. Liberalism is a disease. Liberal is, in fact, an insult used by fascists and leftists alike, for different reasons. Liberals and fascists are both morally corrupt and spiritually bankrupt. But these are just descriptors.

    Fascists insult liberals for weakness, diversity, proceduralism, or insufficient ethnonational purity.

    Leftists insult liberals for collaboration with domination while pretending neutrality.

    Same word, different indictment. The key distinction is function.

    A liberal government may speak of human rights while backing massacres. A fascist movement may discard the human-rights language and embrace domination more openly.

    Different rhetoric, sometimes overlapping material outcomes.

    I won't speak about theory in a vacuum, but let's talk about historical and material conditions and the imperial boomerang across settler-colonial states, imperial powers, and postcolonial formations shaped by empire. Let's start there.

  8. Different perspectives on where things are at in NE Syria. Published today:

    "The last of the 2,000 U.S. troops stationed in Syria withdrew this week. The final convoy departed on Thursday, bringing a decade-long U.S. military presence in the country to an end."

    ...

    ""The danger is not over in Syria," says Ismael Dalf, a Yazidi leader in the Jazira region of northeast Syria. "They have the base and the mentality — if they have the opportunity to do so, nothing will stop them," he says of violence by Syrian government fighters."

    ...

    ""I think the Rojava future is bright," she says, using the Kurdish name for Syria's Kurdish region. "Before as Kurds we were not unified. Now we are," she says." (Eva Shekmos, 18)

  10. RE: journa.host/@ScottLucas/116395

    Almost all analysis of #Iran and US- #Israel War fails to account for 47-year investment that Iran made in sustaining inter-ethnic tensions. This has prevented its national and ethnic minorities from organizing against the central government in a unified way"
