Lot of ppl dont know this, esp the edgy bois who love this film, but the music of A Clockwork Orange was made by a trans woman and electronic music pioneer Wendy Carlos. She'll turn 86 next month.

Today marks 1 year since Israel carried out one of the largest terrorist attacks in history, in the form of the pager attacks. In a matter of seconds, thousands of little explosions were set off across Lebanon. I mourn those who were killed, think of those injured, and hope one day to see justice.

this gave me the ick so ill write about it here. what you have here is a lie about the druze that zionist have been crafting since the 50s. Not only is there nothing about "country loyalty" in the faith, the Druze is Israel face forced conscription.

Lastly, I talk about the Druze of the Golan Heights, another community that has been discussed at length lately. Syrian Druze who are under Israeli occupation and historically neglected by the leaders of the Syrian state: stuck between the hypocrises of both zionism and arab nationalism.

Next section I talk about the Druze of Palestine. Again I share information about the history and their encounters with Zionism, the leaders' cooperation with the Israeli regime, forced conscription of Druze men, and the widespread rejection of that conscription (which is rarely mentioned).

The Druze of Syria is ofc a very hot topic today, especially since the fall of Assad. I dedicated a full 20 minutes to talking about the history of the Druze in Syria, Sultan Pasha al-Atrash and the long conflict between Sweida and Damascus, leading up to the present moment with Sharaa and al-Hajiri

The last section is Politics, which I break up into national contexts, starting with Lebanon. I talk about the modern history of Druze in Lebanon, Kamal Joumblatt and Walid Joumblatt, and basically leading up to modern political formations today.

Then I talk briefly about Druze society. Since I argue that the Druze are less motivated by religion and more by societal relations, this was a really important section to have (that is otherwise completely lacking in other texts/videos on the subject).

Then, Faith. Ofc since the Druze is a religion, I go through the most important aspects of the faith, most importantly Monotheism and Reincarnation. Most important for me, I talk about how and why most Druze don't actually know much about their faith.
