Tens of thousands of Jordanians demonstrating outside the "Israeli" embassy in Amman:
"We swear by Almighty God to support the resistance, to reject normalization, and to sacrifice our lives and blood for Gaza."
I like that when Americans decide they don't care about foreigners anymore they call it deradicalization "yeah I used to believe the people we work to death for pennies an hour and blow apart from drones and helicopters overseas deserved to live in peace but then I got a well paying job and decided my comfort was more important, now im a rational moderate"
“Monkey Man” was shot and completed in 2021, and Netflix soon after acquired the rights for around $30 million, but it’s been on the shelf for three years and they‘ve all of a sudden decided to get rid of it? What gives?
It turns out, according to an in-the-know source, that it was the portrayal of a fictional right-wing Hindu Nationalist character in the film that worried Netflix about their future dealings in India. And even though they had paid more than twice the production cost, they decided to give the film back to the producers, which is what caused the long delay.
Universal and Peele eventually took a particular liking to the film, so much so that they suggested possible editing changes and delayed the release until what they thought would be the right date.
It’s as simple as that. In the end, it was all about politics and optics for the streaming giant, especially since India has become the current top growth market for Netflix. Co-Founder Reed Hastings has mentioned that a majority of the service's next 100 million subscribers would most likely come from India.
Universal/Jordan Peele's "suggested possible editing changes" in question:
... all human life, from the very beginning of its development within capitalist society, has undergone an impoverishment.
More than this, capitalist society is death organized with all the appearances of life. Here it is not a question of death as the extinction of life, but death-in-life, death with all the substance and power of life. The human being is dead and is no more than a ritual of capital.
Young people still have the strength to refuse this death; they are able to rebel against domestication. They demand to live.
