#jan25th

[yahya-mekkawi]

1/2 Revolution (نص ثورة)... It's ten years now and by far this is still my favorite! A raw and intense encounter of a group of friends (the filmmakers and their families) with the January 25th revolution. Their rough take on Tahrir Square, the day-to-day life around it and what it was being a “foreigner” in Egypt during the 18 Days of the revolution

Watched it July 2012 and for me it was one of the few less-hyped films about Jan25th - specially that it was produced in 2011

The film is available on YouTube Movies - oddly enough it's not available in Egypt =D But here are the viewing options I found so far... YouTube | Vudu | Amazon Prime

With Egyptian, poet, Ahmed Nijm...at his house, a few month before Jan25tg revolution. "Egyptians are like donkeys, they can only take enough abuses, then they will knock you off and kick your in the balls" it was a prophesy. " #Jan25th

As we face our lives every single day we must be strong and fully equipped with positivity. As we still face this new normal things, we should take extra care for our self. Make use of those safety protocols so that you won’t harmed not only your self but those person who you are encountering to. Good night!

How many birthdays are there

I recently saw this and got curious, and came up with an answer that I find satisfying.

Okay, so the dictionary definition of a birthday is the day a birth occurs. this could be reasonably assumed to be every day exactly. this means that jan25th one year is a different day than jan 25th of another. we can also assume that they only mean human birthdays. the human race began with the earliest homo-sapiens which so far have been found from 315,000 years ago. subtract about 15 years for the first procreation and we get 314,985 years. translating this into days gives us 114,969,525. this, therefore is likely the amount of birthdays.

Social media's influence on activism

With the rising age of technology, we have observed evolving structures and organisation of activism activities happening around the world due to the diverse use of social media by activists to spread their cause. They not only used social media to disseminate information, but as a means of mobilisation and choreographing the physical assembling of otherwise dispersed and individualised groups. (Gerbaudo, 2012)

Techno-pessimists believe that social media only provide weak, fleeting ties which are unsuitable for revolutionary action. (Morozov, 2011). It only promotes ‘slacktivism’ which creates an illusion that participants are making an impact to the world – by just joining a Facebook group, or adding a filter to their profile picture. This is not surprising in our current contemporary society which allows dealing with others without having to fully engage with them. (Gerbaudo, 2012)

However, one cannot discount the fact that the nature of social media inherently affords a channel of mobilisation. Gerbaudo describes online relationships as dynamic and complex, like liquid, allowing ‘soft’ forms of leadership using participatory style of interactions, and hence complements existing forms of gatherings. It is a vehicle that provides common identifications to trigger emotional impulse through words and videos, and when engaged appropriately, used to transform them into political passions.

The 2011 Egyptian Revolution is one example of a movement organised, with the aid of social media, by activists to oppose against the ruling of the President Mubarak’s dictatorship ruling. The hashtag #Jan25th was used on Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and other photographic sites such as Flickr to disseminate real-time information to the protestors to join the demonstration on Jan 25th on Tahrir Square. As a result, a crowd of 80, 000 was gathered in Cairo on that day, showcasing the mobilising power of social media in facilitating strong but flexible connections. (Mason, 2010)

Similar social behaviour seems to be happening in Asia as well. In 2014, many spaces and territories in Hong Kong were occupied by protestors during the 79-day long Umbrella Movement. They demanded for universal suffrage and to allow Hong Kong citizens to run for the local elections. The surprising factor? An 18-year-old boy, Joshua Wong, was one of the prominent leaders who spearheaded the movement. Having joined a student activist group for three years, he led the Hong Kong Federation of Students in a political demonstration in front of the government building in Hong Kong on 26 September. The movement was named Umbrella Movement because instructions were passed on to the protestors to bring along yellow umbrellas – partly as a symbol and also to protect themselves from the pepper spray used by the police during earlier protests. Over 100, 000 people participated in the protests at any one point of time and I bet my hat that social media was outrageously used to spread the word about the Movement, seeing that youths were involved as well.  

Here are some pictures from the movement. Thought it looks too pretty for a protest.

Although the Yellow Umbrella Movement did not achieve its objective of making any changes to the political system, Joshua Wong reflects that seeds were planted as thousands of students became politically interested because of the occupation. I thought that this is an example of the impact social media can make to the younger generation. Indeed, social media has the power to unite people despite diversity.

Like, it's one thing for copies to arrive early in the mail (mistakes were made, it happens), but it's another thing entirely to steal 30ish from the packaging plant and start selling them for $100 dollars a pop. Like, Christ, what a fucking asshole.

These guys are gonna get what's coming to them tho. Disney snipers probably already are going in for the kill.

(I'm gonna be looking into the spoilers--no self control on that front--, but still debating whether or not to cover anything here under spoiler tags, or--probably more likely--wait until Jan25th and covering what Japanese YT posted.)
