🧵National liberation vs Bourgeois Nationalism

Lenin repeatedly warned against abstract formulations of the question of nationalism and above all against confusing the nationalism of an oppressor nation with that of an oppressed nation

“By supporting the right to secession, we are told,
you are supporting the bourgeois nationalism of the oppressed nations. ——

Our reply to this is: No, it is to the bourgeoisie that a "practical" solution of this question is important. To the workers the important thing is to-

distinguish the principles of the two trends.
Insofar as the bourgeoisie of the oppressed nation fights the oppressor, we are always, in every case, and more strongly than anyone else, in favour, for we are the staunchest and the most consistent enemies of oppression.

To understand the core of Japanese spirituality and the universal blueprint of human consciousness, we must look to the heavens. Let’s dive into the profound myth, esoteric symbolism, and modern lessons of Amaterasu Ōmikami, the radiant Goddess of the Sun.

🧵

Our journey begins in the realm of myth, where the primordial god Izanagi returns from the pollution of the underworld. Seeking restoration, he undergoes a ritual washing in a river, an act of pure purification that serves as the catalyst for ultimate cosmic order.

As Izanagi washes his left eye, historically the seat of intuition and inner vision, a brilliant, blinding light bursts into existence... This is Amaterasu Ōmikami, the goddess destined to govern the high celestial plains and warm the universe with her solar grace.

5 Places which you are giving to JINNS in your home without realizing

https://twitter.com/piousdeenn/status/2051321986333519890

Many homes unknowingly become places where jinn feels comfortable because of small things we ignore.

Protecting your home starts with remembering Allah in the little actions.

5 places you may be giving to jinn without realizing:

1. Spare beds or bedspreads where no one sleeps

The Prophet ﷺ taught us to cover beds and mention the name of Allah, especially at night.

I wrote this thread yesterday after reading an article about how Norway is preparing for a possible war in the future, after last night's attack by russia on Romania, it becomes even more appropriate...

1/ Europe is quietly relearning a Cold War lesson:
national defence is not only military.
It is also:
🔸️power grids
🔸️ports
🔸️railways
🔸️telecoms
🔸️food supply
🔸️hospitals
🔸️cybersecurity
🔸️public trust
🔸️civilian preparedness
🔸️continuity of government

This is often called "total defence", "comprehensive security", or "whole-of-society resilience".

NATO explicitly treats civil preparedness as part of collective defence under Article 3:
nato.int/en/what-we-do/…

The reason is simple:
modern conflict does not begin with tanks crossing borders.

It begins with cyberattacks, sabotage, disinformation, infrastructure probing, economic coercion, GPS interference, arson, intimidation and attacks on public confidence.

That is hybrid warfare.

2/

The Nordic and Baltic countries are among the most important case studies because they sit closest to the Russian threat environment.

Their planning is not abstract.

Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are preparing for a world where Russia may not launch a conventional invasion tomorrow, but can still attack society below the threshold of formal war.

That means preparing civilians, municipalities, businesses and infrastructure operators — not just armed forces.

3/

Finland is probably Europe’s gold standard.

Its "comprehensive security" model integrates:
🔸️government
🔸️military
🔸️business
🔸️local authorities
🔸️civil society
🔸️media
🔸️telecoms
🔸️energy providers
🔸️emergency services
🔸️citizens

The point is not simply to survive a war.

It is to keep society functioning under pressure.

Finland retained many systems other European states allowed to decay after the Cold War:
🔸️ conscription
🔸️ large reserves
🔸️ emergency stockpiles
🔸️ civil shelters
🔸️ national preparedness courses
🔸️ supply-security planning
🔸️ public trust in crisis communication

Finland’s National Emergency Supply Agency manages preparedness for essential goods, services and production supporting both civilian life and national defence:

DRINKING 8 GLASSES OF WATER DAILY IS A SCAM. BY DRINKING PLAIN WATER, YOU'RE DRAINING ELECTROLYTES, WEAKENING YOUR MITOCHONDRIA & KILLING YOUR CELLULAR ENERGY.

(HOW TO FIX IT SCIENTIFICALLY):

1/
Can we have a natural language conversation with a frozen, non-neural biological system?

Not by rewriting its DNA, but by treating its raw physics as a reinforcement learning agent. Here is how we translate human prompts into biological actions. 🧵

2/
The paper Language Game: Talking to Non-Human Systems by Yanbo Zhang and Michael Levin (@drmichaellevin) bypasses bottom-up micromanagement.

Instead of editing gene networks, they wrap frozen dynamical systems in trained linear interfaces to communicate.

3/
The core architecture is a composite RL policy:
pi(s) = D[f(E(s))]

• An encoder (E) maps environment states to physical concentrations.
• A frozen biological ODE (f) computes physical gradients.
• A decoder (D) translates gradients into actions.

The most dangerous condition doctors never test for is;

High cortisol.

It quietly drives belly fat, broken sleep, brain fog, and burnout, even in people who "eat clean."

Here are 6 ways to fix it (𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧):

1. Check your jaw first when you wake.

Touch your jaw right now. Feel that tension?

Most people have been clenching for years without realizing.

It's the most reliable physical sign of stuck cortisol — your jaw braces 24/7, even in sleep.

If yours is tight: you're running survival physiology.

If you can't sleep, i don’t think you need stronger sleeping pills.

You need to support your nervous system better.

Magnesium glycinate has honestly made a noticeable difference in my sleep quality and nighttime stress.

This is the one i use👇

Russian President Vladimir Putin regularly rails against the West and its values.

But an investigation by RFE/RL's Systema investigative unit found that the two boys widely believed to be his sons were largely raised by foreign nannies, governesses, and tutors from Western countries.

1/5🧵

At least 20 foreigners were hired.
According to leaked documents reviewed by Systema, caregivers came from Germany, Britain, Ireland, Austria, New Zealand, South Africa, Bosnia, and other countries.

Many were tasked with teaching the boys English and German.

The documents provide a detailed window to one aspect of the highly secretive purported family life of Putin and Alina Kabayeva, the 2004 Olympic rhythmic gymnastics gold medalist who is widely reported to be his longtime partner and the mother of Ivan, born in 2015, and Vladimir, born in 2019.
2/5🧵

Documents say the children were expected to reach the language level of "educated Europeans" through immersion.

One report even described the older boy, Vanya, making a Christmas card featuring Santa Claus, despite the Kremlin's frequent criticism of Western culture.
