Kutlualan (#Kurdish: Şêx Dewdada) is a #neighbourhood in the municipality and district of #Silvan, #DiyarbakırProvince in #Turkey. It is populated by #Kurds and had a population of 481 in 2022.

It's a legitimate #criticism of #Rojava to point out their collaboration with the #US and #Israel. #Bookchin was a #Zionist, and it did influence his understanding of #history, as well as the #Kurdish movement that learned from him. That doesn't mean we shouldn't still support Rojava, especially now with #AlSharaa in power, but it's a valid and important criticism to make. We can talk about the reasons for it and how much it's exaggerated at the same time.

#Movie: Onkel Jens (2025). Young #Oslo schoolteacher doesn't speak the #Kurdish of his #Peshmerga parents very well. But when his uncle shows up in the middle of the night and apparently wants to stay indefinitely, the young man has to learn fast. Grade: good!

Today in Labor History July 30, 2006: Murray Bookchin died. He was an anti-capitalist, anti-fascist, social theorist, libertarian socialist, and founder of social ecology. He published over two dozen books. In the 1990s, disillusioned by the increasingly “apolitical, lifestylism” of mainstream anarchism, he stopped calling himself an anarchist and founded his own libertarian socialist ideology that he called “communalism,” which sought to combine elements of Marxism and anarchosyndicalism. His ideas, more generally, have influenced numerous movements, including the New Left, anti-nuclear, Occupy Wall Street, and the People Defense Units (YPG) and the Rojava Kurdish Autonomous Region of Syria. In 1988, along with Howie Hawkins, he cofounded the Left-Green Network, as a radical alternative to the liberal Greens, with a focus on Social Ecology and Libertarian Municipalism. His critique of Deep Ecology, popular among many in the radical Earth First! Movement, led many Earth Firsters to refer to him as Bernie Munchkin. He rejected the popular view of Barry Commoner and Paul Ehrlich that the environmental crisis was caused by technology or overpopulation, or human nature, but was rather the product of capitalism, its “grow or die imperative,” and its emphasis on profit or human life and security.

Are there any other non-white-European people from the region of #Karlsruhe and #Strasbourg in my timeline ? I'm looking for other #Kurdish, #Arabic, #Indian, #BIPoC etc. people to maybe get to know closer because I miss spending time with other non-euronormative people since I moved here !

(I'm sometimes just annoyed by all my friends having only their European sight on the world. That's why the uncommon search.)
