you can’t really adjudicate between enlightenment universalism and anti-enlightenment anti-universalism conceptually w/o flagging that capital generates both as real ontological forms of existence which everyone exists within both of. Bourgeois vs Citoyen. Use-value vs Value

enlightenment isn’t really one simple self-coincidental thing. hell, Marx’s social metabolism is already a critique of some conceptions of it. there is a reason The Dialectic of Enlightenment had a planned sequel based on *rescuing* the enlightenment

i mean that largely depends on what one means by the enlightenment. are we talking the form of the enlightenment that resulted in Hegel treating nature as functionally dead relative to humanity, which is the ground for his geocultural racism and comments about africa? etc etc

Las pocas veces que se quema algo siempre es "porque detrás está el Mossad, el CNI, la CIA" o "beneficia a la ultraderecha" y similares. Porque claro, vivimos en el paraíso y no hay ni un sólo motivo para hacerlo.

Tot el dia romantitzant la cultura punki dels 90 i quan venen uns sagals a reventar aparadors de multinacionals que facturen el pib d'una república centreafricana ens posem a plorar

Seeing this more on fb than Twitter, so this is your reminder that the House version of the budget added billions of pesos to various DPWH offices in certain congress districts, more than what DPWH actually asked for

Gracias. El clasismo y el racismo con el que se está tratando a los chavales desde la izquierda es insoportable.

Que las concentraciones del «Blocus» sean o no sean una «psy-ops» es irrelevante puesto que para que algo así pueda medrar necesita alimentarse de un elevado grado de descontento. A partir de aquí, dudamos que pueda servir como elemento deslegitimador de las protestas.

this is copjacketing just like on september 21 in the PH. call them “nihilists,” “opportunists,” “reactionaries,” any number of names. but to call them cops because it doesn’t fit your comfort zone idea of a “basque popular movement” sows paranoia & is active counterinsurgency
Replying to @ideiazabaldub
Me da que hay alguna mano negra operando. No sólo un interés de desvirtuar la multitudinaria movilización antifascista de hoy, sino de interferir directamente en las próximas elecciones. Modos de operar totalmente ajenos al movimiento popular vasco.

🔴 🇪🇸 ESPAGNE URGENT Gros débordements à Bilbao. Après une manifestation antifasciste contre un meeting de Vito Quiles (finalement annulé), des groupes ont incendié des conteneurs, des voitures et une moto de police. Affrontements avec l’Ertzaintza, plusieurs arrestations. À suivre. #Bilbao #Espagne

At Cornell I met a student adjacent to the lefty/music scene who was building an autonomous drone startup. Asked him about it and he assured me it was just for search and rescue/disaster response. Earlier this year he sold it to a defense firm. They always sell to defense.
Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks. By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time. Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.

Countering drones doesn’t scale up super well from shooting at them with a gun or hitting their drones with your own yet, usually only buying you a bit of time. Designs like this one seem like readymade assassination tools! A bullet that chases the target militantwire.com/p/defending…
