really nice piece on the revival of class narratives and Maoist discourse. which sometimes has a narrative and affective structure similar to right-wing populist conspiracism, and other times repackages neoliberal self-help while being disillusioned

在这期时差和從河至海联合发布的节目中，我们和伍勤聊了聊中国舆论场中的巴以和国际巴以舆论场中的中国，以及文明等级论、反犹与恐穆、「自由主义国际秩序」合法性的瓦解、反帝和反威权的夹缝中国际团结何以可能等话题。更正：谈话中提到倡导“印度作为品牌” (Brand Bharat) 的政治人物当为印度外长S. Jaishankar，嘉宾口误讲成“总理”。從河至海: https://fromrivertosea...

I can see why some people might think that Machado giving her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump would embarrass the Nobel committee. But any organization that would give a peace prize to Henry Kissinger is probably immune to embarrassment.

Folks like this made a ton of money cosplaying dissidence and the naifs, ideologues and confederates were eager to empty their wallets along the way. Kudos.

Ai Weiwei: ‘You in the West can’t compete with China’
Dissident artist Ai Weiwei was forced into exile by China. So how come the 68-year-old defends the regime’s stance on Taiwan, censorship and global politics?

從《悲情城市》到《大濛》：從8部台灣電影認識白色恐怖 - VERSE
從1989年侯孝賢的《悲情城市》悲情城市，到 2025 年的《大濛》，台灣電影用三十多年時間，逐步走過從噤聲、隱喻，到直面創傷與公共對話的歷程。本文選取八部關鍵台灣電影，包括，回顧這些影像如何凝視歷史事實，到晚近以多元風格類型與多重面向，映照出台灣社會面對威權記憶、轉型正義與世代情感轉變的文化軌跡。
