“In other ways the war continues with the practice of locking down being expanded, as in the US’ current ban on “unvaccinated” foreign travellers, which effectively amounts to a Black Travel Ban since those most affected constitute half or more of the Caribbean population and most of Africa.”
That’s a powerful point I’d neither thought of nor heard anyone else articulate: todays “progressives” have effectively recreated the Progressive Era racial immigration quotas they (conceptually, performatively, not actually) abhor.
You may see a comment by the author. My anthem too! - the language is difficult to parse - but all you need to know is: Outside like Garbage. Another commenter on another version gets it: "Buying Scrap Iron".
Thanks! Unfortunately we cannot embed videos from other platforms in Substack, one of the big shortcomings of this platform, and it's an entirely unnecessary one.
Not a criticism; it was fun going out to look for it. I have heard other Substack authors say the same thing; yet others seem to do it routinely.
Here is an English and Russian speaking anthropologist reporting on Russians (from Georgia, perhaps) who usually includes a music video at the end of his posts. This one of Russian villagers sitting outside singing folk songs - a refreshing change from, call it, Global-Rock.
I think he would be surprised at the "anthropologist" label; but, at this point, maybe we should call anyone reporting - honestly reporting - on strategies deployed by natives (excuse the term, I mean "garbage" - with a Raw Nitro reversal) in coping with the assaults of the Global Rulers. He has posted extremely interesting reports on the rejection of digital ID requirements to attend Russian professional football matches (stadiums were nearly empty) and the growth of surveillance (bio and otherwise) of Russian school children.

Catching up here - excellent, I would say, anthropology - local to global and back again.
Only lacking the Raw Nitro embedded video at the end. Here it is!
