  • Thank you.

    read political theory and history

    Which books other than the one that you mentioned(thanks for that), would you recommend? Introductory ones that are modern/contemporary, if possible.
    I’ve been recommended State & rev and I have read it, but it seems that eventhough I get the idea, I don’t have the foundation and context(didn’t understand who all the people mentioned in it are) to fully understand it. Maybe I need to reread it.

    Are there any books that you’d recommend about organising and the associated skills/strategy needed for it?

    Could I ask a related question:
    In my place I’m seeing communal polarisation increasing. Or it is becoming more evident. How would one oppose that in a populace where religion and caste hold good sway, without the opposition giving it more power accidently?
    I’ve seen leftist n leftish organisations being affected by this.






  • Did it almost 2 weeks ago.

    Automatic local backup did not happen, so I used Settings -> Chat -> Chat Backup -> Backup now

    I don’t have a google account selected in the backup options and the local backup was created.

    I’ve been thinking about reinstalling whatsapp once more, but now even when I click it, it’s not backing up.
    So maybe it’s not allowed now






    1. When I stopped, a rusted chain tangled me up
      Tying my body onto the ground
      As I sink underground, I call your name
      What can I do to see the daylight once more?

    From Just Awake by Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Was the first ending song of the Hunter x Hunter 2011 anime

    1. Dua Lipa’s Levitation, the “You can fly away with me tonight” portion

    2. A Malayalam movie song: https://youtube.com/watch?v=NkmsdwnTF50&t=68

    Kannane karimukilambarane…
    Madhuraamrutha muraleerava mazhayode anayuu nee
    Kannane karimukilambarane
    Madhuraamrutha muralidhara neelambuja nayanane…

    The lyrics describes some characteristics of the Hindu god Krishna… the singer is describing her lover like that.
    The lyrics is cool, but the context and the way it is sung elevates it for me.
    I like it because the protagonist is imagining it and his love interest doesn’t even know of his interest. The guy is also the evil guy in the story.

    Meaning of the words

    Karimukil = Rain cloud, dark cloud
    Ambaram = could mean sky or lips
    Madhura = A place of the god. Also madhuram means sweet
    Amrith = Divine nectar, immortality juice
    Mazhayode + anayuu + nee = Rain + come + you, come/arrive with the rain
    Muralirava= Flute’s sound
    Neela ambuja nayanan = Blue Lotus eyed

    There are Malayalam leftist songs whose lyrics I like a lot, but that’d be too specific and I probably wouldn’t be able to explain them easily.


  • dismiss any information merely because it emanates from a source they disfavor is the epitome of liberalism

    But there are sources that we’d doubt more, right?

    In this case, I think the info is decent, since other sources say similar stuff and it makes sense withp previous info/experience.

    Not related to science news, but I’m careful of sources with a right-wing bias in the context of general news. I’ve had experiences where they had exaggerated or twisted news. Not that left-wing sources are totally free of it, but it the scale n frequency in exaggeration seems different. And it often gets criticises by left-wing people too.

    So, I am more careful of those rightwing sources. Am I a liberal because of that?
