Cada ola de modernidad urbana ha sido contestada desde el mundo rural con otra ola reaccionaria de gente que encontraba en los cambios que se iban imponiendo una amenaza a su modo de vida, tradiciones y fé.
Una contestación que en ocasiones ha llegado a provocar guerras, incluso, como las Carlistadas o la mismísima Guerra Civil.
Enfrentamientos en los que, con matices, tenemos más o menos claro quienes eran los "buenos" y quienes los "paletos que querían detener el progreso".
El tema es que yo veo a dónde vamos ahora: ciudades sin personalidadcomidas por las franquicias, tiktok, PAUs que son guetos de pijos, sanidad concertada, importación de todo lo básico, ultracentralismo, carne de laboratorio, turismo como principal fuente de ingresos, lo queer, harinas de gusano, marketing, vacaciones de ir a un parque de atracciones para turistas para copiar la foto que viste en Instagram hace 2 meses...
...y me siento el mismísimo Zumalakarregi
Andrey Sidorov, Deputy Dean of world politics at the Moscow State University on why Russia loves Donald Trump and the Republican party:

I'm not saying that I'm podcasting again... but I'm not *not* podcasting.
I got to guest host on the Denoise podcast and have a great talk with some fantastic Blender artists. I'm biased, but I think it's well worth a listen.
I agree the three axes of ICE are well-formed and roughly orthogonal
And it's super useful to build consensus about various approaches' relative ranking on each axis
But the metrics-engineer/ersatz-data-scientist parts of me are _so upset_ by the idea of summarizing by _adding_

The Transmission (Headlines):
"A New Hampshire man is fighting for his life because of a mosquito bite. Fifty-four-year-old Joe Casey of Kensington has tested positive for three mosquito-borne viruses, including eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) and West Nile Virus..... He was positive for EEE, for West Nile, and St. Louis Encephalitis, but the CDC, the infectious disease doctors, they don’t know which one is making him this sick..."

in reply to Matthew Sheffield • • •What was in the content that Russia paid for from Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, and Dave Rubin? Ragebait about trans people, race, civil war, illegal immigration, guns, and Elon Musk.
If you believe right-wing narratives on these topics, you're being manipulated. You're thinking what Russia wants you to think. wired.com/story/influencers-te…
