There was a time, not so long ago, when building a border was a moral crime.A wall – a symbol of hatred.Territorial protection – a relic of nationalism.Opposition to illegal migration?A sign of xenophobia, fascism, lack of empathy. But something changed. Because today, the same people who screamed “no borders” have started building them themselves.France,…
You can’t say anything anymore.Because everything hurts someone.You can’t joke, because someone won’t laugh.You can’t have an opinion, because someone will get offended.You can’t even ask a question, because someone will feel “unseen.” Everyone’s ready to be a victim.Ready to be outraged at a moment’s notice.Like they’re sitting with a finger on the emotional trigger,…
Save, you hear?Start investing. Buy ETFs. Take care of your future.Don’t buy coffee out.Don’t eat avocados.Don’t complain you’re broke, just stop spending.Pull yourself together. You’re the problem. Not the system. Not wages. Not the cost of living.Just you and your inability to deny yourself pleasure. That’s today’s message.It convinces you that your poverty is a…
Everyone around me is dying.Not all at once. Not dramatically. Quietly.Like someone’s unscrewing the bolts from my world – one by one. My aunt died.My uncle died.The neighbor who always had some fucking comment from across the yard – he died too.Suddenly it’s too quiet. Way too quiet.But not because life slows down.It’s because there’s…
The world is on fire. Wars, hunger, authoritarianism, economic collapses. Thousands of people fight every day for survival, for freedom, for any kind of stability. And meanwhile… somewhere on a university campus in the USA, students are organizing a protest because the syllabus included a book that “might be emotionally difficult.” And then he enters,…
Why the fuck do we keep calling it the “Chinese” New Year?Because it caught on? Because CNN said it, and then some Western travel vlogger in Bangkok repeated it? It didn’t “catch on.” It was pushed.Through decades of Chinese economic dominance, through the West’s colonial perspective, and through the typical informational laziness of people who…
It starts early. Girls are told: be polite, smile, don’t run, don’t get dirty, don’t scream. They are taught to be pretty, gentle, sweet. Princesses. In pink dresses, shiny shoes, and headbands. They’re supposed to sit quietly, be nice, and please others. Boys are told: be tough, don’t cry, don’t be a girl, fight, lead,…
Imagine building a house far from the city. Somewhere where the power grid doesn’t reach, where nobody peers through your window, where all you hear is wind, the rustle of trees, and a nearby stream. You install solar panels. You dig in a water turbine. You set up some small wind turbines powering your life….
Always the same.War, conflict, coup, change of power – and suddenly everything that was before ceases to exist.Because the winners write history.Not because they’re right. Just because they can. Burn the old monuments. Build new ones.Print new textbooks. Change the names in the chronicles. Erase the photos, add new ones.Someone once existed, and now –…
Being an icon in the 80s meant something. It was a status. A symbol. A hard-earned presence in the collective imagination. You couldn’t buy it with likes, you couldn’t hack it with a hashtag, you couldn’t earn it by showing your ass in a bathroom with the “baby skin” filter. Hulk Hogan was the face…
