  1. I don't think this #ChrisHedges interview with #YashaLevine got quite the response I expected it would from #Fedi when I first posted it. Which is strange because it's about how the #internet was specifically created as a tool for #surveillance.

    And that includes things like #TOR.

    I think the interview is certainly worth a watch.

  6. "People compare #Trump to Hitler or to Putin. But for us the closest historical comparison is Boris Yeltsin.

    "So today we talk to #JacobSilverman about Trump’s #shitcoins and other #crypto schemes because they remind us so much of 1990s Russia and Yeltsin’s family corrupt deals."

  10. "The Atlantic, slightly more than a year ago, published an article called 'Decolonize #Russia' and just recently they published an article called 'The Decolonization Narrative is Dangerous and False.' So which is it?"

    #IlyaMatveev

    why the #RussianOpposition to Putin is mostly pro-#Israel & pro-war while being ardently anti-war in the case of #Ukraine

  13. "A friend of mine knows people who worked at a Prigozhin restaurant in St. Pete — one of those tourist boats on the Neva River. Apparently Prigozhin would run after his wait staff with a baseball bat. That's his management style." - Yasha Levine

  20. "We’re leaving #SanFrancisco next month and decided to record an episode about Haight-Ashbury, where we’ve lived for the last year and a half, and about the neighbors we’ve gotten to know here — the local #homeless. We’ve developed a strange, maybe parasocial relationship with them — but it’s a relationship that’s still more real than the nonexistent one we have with our housed neighbors."

  22. The third part is also notable for its framing of the internet's role in disinformation. Basically the net = the major #DataFarms (FB etc), and "regulation" of Silicon Valley = increased government control over internet speech (not #AntiTrust action). It's a framing I first noticed in the otherwise excellent Adam Curtis series '... Machines of Loving Grace ...', in #FredTurner's 'counterculture to cyberculture' discourse, and in a hit piece on the #EFF by #YashaLevine, published in the #Baffler.

  23. @z428 @bjoern yes, when I see people like #YashaLevine attacking the EFF in left-wing publications like the #Baffler, and claiming that tech corporation are the real threat to our privacy (which they can be), and governments are its saviours (which is so obviously bullshit), I get very suspicious:
