1/ ***The Podcast Election: Final Nail in the Legacy Media Coffin***
The mainstream media is officially dead. The shift has occurred and we are now in the post legacy world.
Let us explore how this came to be, and the most recent indicators of this shift 👇
🧵 #AnalysisAlert
2/ In our first 🧵 discussing the shift from traditional media into online and social media, we focused on why this shift was happening, how the legacy media lost our trust, how the mainstream media got hijacked by corporate interests, and repeatedly lied or misled the public
3/ In our follow-up 🧵 “Subversion Media” - we explored the dynamics of the new online media landscape. Here we explored bots, AI, information reliability, and subversive actors and how this would complicate the online playing field of online media and citizen journalism

Thread 🧵 from a 2014 essay exploring the question of "Why did Fanon argue for a #violent struggle against #colonialism? Was he right to do so?"
(1/20) Frantz Fanon’s name rarely appears in mainstream discussions of #decolonisation, overshadowed by figures like Nelson #Mandela and Mahatma #Gandhi. Fanon, however, presented a unique and crucial argument: violent struggle was essential for true liberation from colonialism
(2/20) Fanon isn’t ignored because his analysis lacked depth. Quite the opposite—his ideas were radical, academic & rooted in his lived experience. He didn’t see #violence as mere destruction but as a necessary step toward reclaiming humanity from #oppressors

Excerpts from a 2016 essay on the exploring #US and #Belgian involvement in the assassination of Patrice #Lumumba - #Congolese independence leader, and the first Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of #Congo
(1/20) The assassination of #Congo's first #democratically #elected PM, Patrice #Lumumba, has long been shrouded in mystery. Evidence points to #US and #Belgian involvement, revealing a mix of #ColdWar #politics and #exploitation
(2/20) Following #Congo’s #independence from #Belgium in 1960, the #US and #Belgium were deeply concerned about #Lumumba’s leadership. His #nationalist policies and connections with the #SovietUnion were seen as a threat during the #ColdWar
The External Affairs Minister @DrSJaishankar on Tuesday reaffirmed defence and trade cooperation with #Russia and said that many #Western countries used to supply arms to #Pakistan and not India, adding that the trend has changed in the past decade.
(2/6) "In terms of inventory, yes, because many #Western countries have long preferred to supply #Pakistan and not #India. But that has changed in the past ten or fifteen years with the #USA, for example, and our new purchases have diversified with the USA, #Russia, #France and #Israel as the main suppliers," he said.
(3/6) In an interview with a leading #German economic daily, Handelsblatt during his visit to the #Munich Security Conference in #Germany, EAM Jaishankar highlighted the infrastructural imbalance of supply chains in the world and said that the world's economic model is unstable and unfair.
(1/21) #India now aligns as a staunch supporter of #Israel, extending beyond short-term military & political ties into mainstream sentiment. The Indian position was once staunchly pro-#Palestinian. A sharp contrast with today. Let's explore India's post/colonial perspective
(2/21)The transition to the post-colonial era saw #India as a staunch supporter of #Palestine. India was acutely sensitive to the issue of partition & as a fellow British colony, Indian independence movement leaders were against the establishment of a #Jewish state
(3/21)in Mandatory #Palestine. In 1947, #India voted against the partition of Palestine at the #United #Nations General Assembly
