Fun fact: One of the most significant cultural shifts unfolding in North Africa, Morocco etc, is the growing popularity of Gothic music. I’m not sure where it exactly comes from and why it’s now genuinely fashionable.

It’s summer, and it’s the time of the year again where Muslims from Europe and North America discover that Morocco, a Muslim country, is not an Islamic Caliphate. Moroccans are generally conservative, but they respect personal boundaries. Religious people usually avoid places where bikinis are common. What this woman doesn’t seem to understand is that there are specific spaces for religious people, and just as religious individuals may feel uncomfortable in certain environments, non-religious people can also feel uneasy around very religious individuals in some settings.

The Druze being humiliated and Al-Sharaa not doing anything about it when Israel stated that they must be protected was never going to end well.

A Syrian artist living in Berlin posted a video now trending across Germany. Germany welcomed Syrian refugees during and after the civil war and have no colonial past in Syria to atone for. What do they get in return? Resentment, a Third-Worldist rant basically about Western colonizers as eternal oppressors. The contrast with Syria itself is what makes this interesting. Syrians inside Syria today want the West. They want a peaceful Damascus, a functioning banking system, trade, integration into the global economy. The loudest anticolonial voices and movements now sit in Western capitals advocating for things their own people aren’t aligned with.

Marjane Satrapi died today. Her work incredibly matters, she showed millions of people what the regime hides. In fact, Persepolis was so controversial that Iran’s government sent a letter to the French embassy in Tehran to protest it and pressured organizers of the 2007 Bangkok Film Festival to remove it from the lineup.

Yes, probably CCP propaganda, but shows how the Chinese are invested in preparing their children for potential wars/conflicts. It’s deliberate.

. Samira Gharaei joined the protests in Iran a few years ago. She also knows the IRGC from the inside out. In our conversation, she dismantles the “reformist vs. hardliner” frame the regime sells the West.

I told Laura Cellier that IRGC is constantly trying to buy time. This time it will be hard for them to do so due to the combination of military AND economic and financial pressures.

Jamie Dimon gets it: "China and Russia have made it clear they want to dismantle the post WWII system… We can’t rely on any potential adversary for things we need for our military, we’ve made several mistakes in the past."

I love this Moroccan guy, he’s a fellow Berber, a shepherd who lives in the Atlas Mountains, he posts wholesome videos about his life, farming, making tajines, taking care of animals. Such a wonderful human being. His instagram: @ouabbassrachid

I think Aliyev delivered a masterclass in how to deal with Trump. Pretty sure Trump saw this and said: "Who is this leader? I like this leader? What problem does he have? Can we do something? Where is Azerbaijan btw? Ok let’s get a peace deal."

In a conversation with Mariam Memarsadeghi and Samira Gharaei I’ve asked a question that is perhaps in everyone’s mind: Why is IRGC propaganda so prevalent? Mariam Memarsadeghi explains it perfectly: They’ve simply put efforts into cultivating individuals by granting them access.
