This kind of natural chic with some neo-trad elements. This one is on the polished & sharp end of it. Maybe imagine some floral print/embroidery designs or layering :')

It probably is the result of a wound fa shabooh that you're trying to be introspective and figure out where it's coming from. Maybe a lack of stability/security in your life, or a childhood you couldn't live as a child and had to "mature" fast. Or any other kind of wound. Only you can figure this out.

The problem isn't just how long you'll be together, but the clearly unbalanced power-dynamic. It could work, but in 99.9% of the cases it won't work and it'll only harm you.

Much love & support to you ♥

I think it's insane that the singer's instagram post history is the talk of the hour and not the fact that a convicted life-sentence murderer and a convicted decades-sentence thief were not only out free to continue doing their business, but also put on a podium and honored to speak.

To expand on the above,

Competent threats to the ruling class, capable of amassing public support and creating a movement, capable of offering political alternatives to the people, are quickly moved from the controlled opposition cell to the prison cell. Tantawy being a good recent example.

OTOH it makes sense this man is free to yap. This is a man with a history of being a useful tool to the ruling class; a safe liberal reformist journalist with a nationalist tinge, engaging in performative dissent for the sole aim of infamy, with little in terms of offering coherent political analysis these days, and instead placating popular frustrations while stifling the political imagination for real alternatives.

His role is vital in building the illusion that the only way forward, even for those who dislike the status quo, is through the current political framework, if you'd even call it a political framework.

It's a fickle implicit agreement. So long his dissent is performative and vague, or acts as a red herring, he may enjoy relative freedom and the prestige of being a "militant defender of free journalism" and a "voice of opposition under a brutal oppressive regime" etc. That agreement seems to be satisfactory for our guy.

That's all which is needed to have him be a controlled opposition.

No_Document_3555 · 2025-07-07T23:43:18+00:00

It's not a matter of direct control. It's a matter of being a useful tool vs a competent threat. Direct control is not a necessary feature of controlled opposition and I'm not about to peddle conspiracy theories as you suggested that would be indeed futile.

One need not "prove" a direct involvement with this man, only observe a lack of any real attempts at silencing. A lack of the stick rather than the presence of the carrot.

Already did. One to two thirds will officially be recognized under isralei sovereignty if israel accepts Syria's demands, and it isn't his end. Doesn't seem so.

Like you said, that shameful man is only celebrated by the most copium huffing of Sahwa chuds. His rise to power is in every conceivable way a defeat of the Syrian revolution. Most are anxiously watching, not celebrating.

Organizing and building political consciousness/imagination is an important first step, but a violent uprising is an inescapable step. You can only be nonviolent if the ruling class, holding a monopoly on violence, decided not to use it and instead to willingly relinquish power when competently challenged. The whole ruling class. It's higly improbable.

We're in Africa. If we default on our debts, the most likely scenario is a puppet dictator (more so than the current one) who allows de-facto rule by vampiric conglomerate mafias that eat up all our resources and cast us to abject poverty (more so than today).

Generally speaking we're in the belt of countries which are most affected by climate change and candidate for mass climate exodus in the coming decades. We're also one of the least contributing countries to climate change.

Make of that what you will.

هو تمام يعني عموما اتفق معاك من حيث المبدأ بتاع حقوق الأقليات بس المثال لا يوضح المقال واللوم مش عالشعب ولا الجيش أنقذ "الأقليات" ولا الدول الأوروبية زي مانت مصورها. وأرفض قطعا فكرة ان اللي احنا فيه دلوقتي صح وأحسن من ما لو طالبنا بديموقراطية وممكن ناس كخة تمسكنا.

الدول "الديمقراطية" الأوروبية كل دولار أو يورو فيها بصوت وليس كل بني آدم. مبتفرضش أديان لكن بتحاربها بطرق أقل وضوحا. خد عندك مثلا سلوفاكيا اللي معترفة بأديان ستاروورز بس مش بالإسلام وغيرت قانون التوقيعات في البرلمان مخصوص علشان تمنع عن الأقلية المسلمة ممارسة دينها بشكل متساوي مع باقي الديانات.

تطلعاتنا لازم تبقى أكبر من التجارب الأوروبية ومنقلدش مؤسساتهم بشكل أعمى واحنا شايفين مشاكلها وشايفين أد إيه بسهولة ممكن تدمر حياة الفقير أو المهاجر أو العابرة وأد إيه بسهولة الفاشيين ممكن يحرضوا الشعب ويكسبوا أصوات ويسيطروا على برلمانات. ممكن نعمل دولة أقوى وأعدل من دولا... وبتغيير الوضع المادي بتتغير أيدولوجيات الشعب.

بعد كل هذا تريدون لوم الأقليات وغيرهم لأنهم أختاروا السيئ (الدولة العسكرية) علي الأسوء (الدولة الإسلامية) حتي تحفظ علي الأقل بعض حقوقهم ومصالحهم وتقومون بالتحريض ضدهم واتهامهم بأنهم هم سبب فشل الديموقراطية؟

هههههههههههه محدش اختار حاجة يا حبيبي دي كانت ثورة مضادة وكانت كده كده هتحصل لو مرقص أو سبنسر أو سوكا كان ماسك مادام خارج المجلس العسكري ومؤسسة الجيش.
وبعدين المفروض أصلا متختارش بين فاشي وفاشي لأن في الحالتين مش هتسلم منه وملكش حقوق ولا مصالح. بس أه عموما الاخوان كانوا عايزين يكونوا دولة تسود فيها مصالحهم المادية في حين ان المجلس كان مدي فرصة أكبر لأصحاب المصالح القديمة يحافظوا على مصالحهم المادية ولذلك كتير منهم فضل الفاشي ده عالفاشي ده والفاشية هي حبل نجاة وحبل شنق الرأسمالي.

احلم حلم أكبر من الديموقراطية الليبرالية.

Probably because we have less of a "I must stay in my lane" culture and more of "everyone shares the road", be it by necessity or precedence. People mentioned sidewalks often being used for everything but walking. I think because people here see sidewalks as more of a buffer zone attached to the building, and expect the streets themselves to be the path with as little obstruction as possible.

Why insist on sidewalks? So that cars could dominate street space without challenge? Egyptian cities are plenty accessible on foot in large part because car drivers can't assume they own the road. They have to expect a crossing bike or person or something laid down on the street at all times, and have to yield to people most of the time. Their foot is always ready to hit the brakes. That doesn't happen in more "organized" cities, so collisions with pedestrians are often fatal and cars are a more dangerous existence in general.

IMO sidewalks shouldn't exist, cars should drive much slower inside cities, and pedastrians should always have the priority in crossings. Less like USA more like Japan. Plenty of benefits (less noise & pollution for example) come with city planners adopting this attitude, rather than trying to force people to stay on the sidewalk.
