at the same time as it frames and convicts seven antifascists for their alleged involvement in a fictional organization called the network, russian intelligence is laying the groundwork for a nationwide network to surveil and censor its internet traffic. meanwhile, as russian state television entertains conspiracy theories about coronavirus, we see in another way how the logic of the nationstate interacts with forms of media control. but if print and broadcast propaganda upraises ideological barriers between societies, the fractured web promises to operationalize ideological consciousness so that it can be better coordinated with whatever national security agenda. but it can only do this by compartmentalizing the flow of information, which effectively reinforces a hysteria of feeling misinformed that is p much the vibe of 2020. against all this the challenge will be to demonstrate informatic dissonance as a production of the nationstate logic (and global capital or whatever) and not as an inevitable condition of the modern world

injunction pills are the supposedly humane alternative to the hypothetical practice of microchipping inmates and suspects. they develop the form of gang injunctions, which were first used in the 80s to suppress gang activity, and which evolved to criminalize all public appearances of gang members, including sitting somewhere or walking together. today injunctions continue to criminalize familial relations in conjunction with targeted gentrification campaigns prison reform displaces the form of incarceration technologies without opposing their underlying function. before injection-free injunctions we should dispute ankle bracelet monitoring and other ostensibly humane alternatives to physical imprisonment that are on the rise today
