Much of what Goebbels’s UFI produced was ordinary popular entertainment. D.W. Griffith co-founded UA after making Birth of a Nation. SABC supplied news and entertainment while propping up apartheid. Ideology gets woven into the stories people watch for pleasure and starts to feel like common sense.
Welp.
According to Semafor, David Ellison has discussed bringing Elon Musk on as an investor in Paramount's merger with Warner Bros., which could mean Musk could have a stake in CBS News and CNN.

I guess the first question is "what can we do about this?" My main goal is to stop people going to the Internationalist Commune, so that nobody else is put in danger.
The easiest way to do this is for everyone to stop sharing propaganda made by them and their front groups.*

If you're going to Rojava/DAANES, avoid the Internationalist Youth Commune. They are a deliberately hostile space to women & queers, & have encouraged sexual violence against visitors.
Rojava in general isn't like this, just the one place.
I'll add more details to this thread in the coming days.

A history of the Internationalist Youth Commune, what went wrong, and why. This is going to be a long thread and possibly upsetting. Some of the information will be intentionally vague, and I've not double checked exact dates etc unless they're important.

This is a slightly awkward subject to discuss, but it's very relevant here, and also an important dynamic to understand in internationalism in Kurdistan. A group of foreigners with specific political views have gained influence over recruitment and are using it to recruit others with those views.

Listening to 33 Half Moon Street. A 60s SABC Springbok Radio production, before my time in South Africa, I don’t remember it at all. Enjoying it though, very varied episodes. Cannon, the protagonist is tremendously laid back, he could understudy for Zaphod Beeblebrox.
