A few hundred students from the groups had had the audacity to walk out from classes and hold a “die-in” protest on campus — some of the most widely celebrated nonviolent protest tactics available.</p><p>"The crackdown was just getting started. </p><p>Since then, the university has ordered police raids on campus three times, leading to the arrests of over 100 students. Last week, the school expelled four students, three from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BarnardCollege" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BarnardCollege</span></a> one from Columbia. Many dozens of students have faced discipline and suspensions for participating in pro-Palestine protests and speech. </p><p>"Professors have been slandered before Congress, censured, removed from positions, and reportedly pushed into retirement over their support for Palestine and criticism of Israel. The campus has been essentially locked down for almost a year. </p><p>"Again and again, Columbia has shown a willingness to throw <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/students" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>students</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/faculty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>faculty</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreeSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeSpeech</span></a>, and academic freedom under the bus in acquiescence to a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RightWing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RightWing</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProIsrael" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProIsrael</span></a> narrative that treats support for Palestinians as an affront to Jewish safety. </p><p>"For all Columbia’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/appeasement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>appeasement</span></a>, President Donald Trump’s Federal Task Force to Combat Antisemitism announced last week that it would cancel $400 million in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FederalGrants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FederalGrants</span></a> and contracts to the university.</p><p>"'Columbia has worked overtime to appease,' wrote Layla, a student at Columbia’s School of Social Work, who asked to withhold her last name having faced doxxing attacks and harassment from Zionist groups. 'Students are miserable. Campus is a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/panopticon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>panopticon</span></a>. And their funding was still cut.'</p><p>"The Trump administration can be expected to use its perverted conception of antisemitism to further its explicit plans to decimate, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/corporatize" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>corporatize</span></a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReWhiten" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReWhiten</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HigherEducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HigherEducation</span></a>.

Instead, they have put some of their most vulnerable community members, particularly international students and students of color, at risk.</p><p>"There is no appeasing a political force like the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TrumpianRight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpianRight</span></a>, intent on a program of destruction. And there is no appeasing a nationalist <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Zionist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Zionist</span></a> worldview that, defying reason, sees <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antisemitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>antisemitism</span></a> in every call for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Palestinian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palestinian</span></a> freedom.

Dave Rahardja<p>Panopticon proposals like these highlight the dangers inherent in “snitching systems” like the CSAM reporting mechanisms that some lawmakers have demanded of encrypted messaging platforms: AI agents built into your devices that can parse *unencrypted* data, then snitch on you through a back channel, effectively nullifying the benefits of end-to-end encryption. The rub is, of course, that any system capable of detecting CSAM is capable of detecting *anything else*, including politically undesirable material.</p><p>As long as end-to-end-encryption remains intact, panopticon systems must rely on agents deployed on endpoints. This is why it’s important to push back against *any* kind of snitching mechanism, even (especially!) when a group of pearl-clutching lawmakers make a big show about “saving the children”.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/encryption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>encryption</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/panopticon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>panopticon</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/surveillance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>surveillance</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/e2ee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>e2ee</span></a></p>

Angry Metal Guy<p><strong><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/liljevars-brann-helja-kor-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Liljevars Brann – Helja Kor Review</a></strong></p><p><i>By Mystikus Hugebeard</i></p><p>They say that 75% of a Finnish park ranger’s job is finding black metal bands that got lost in the woods shooting album covers. Suppose the park rangers in Germany had a similar issue. In that case, I imagine they would have the hardest time finding atmospheric black metal newcomers <strong>Liljevars</strong> <strong>Brann</strong>, given how musically deep into the woods they seek to take us in their debut album <em>Helja Kor</em>. Written in a fictional blend of German and Norwegian languages and dubbed “mystical black metal with a folkloric edge,” is <em>Helja Kor </em>a strong debut that conjures grasping roots to drag you into the heart of the forest, or are these woods still too close to the parking lot?</p><p><strong>Liljevars Brann </strong>weaves together slow-tempo black metal with winding acoustic guitar passages. It worked when heavier bands like <strong>Panopticon </strong>or <strong>Ulvik </strong>did it,<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/liljevars-brann-helja-kor-review/#fn-203504-1" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">1</a> and it works here in <em>Helja Kor</em>. Melancholic guitar riffs plod beneath high-pitched harmonizing guitar wails like a reborn <strong>The 3rd and the Mortal </strong>with a harsher, black metal edge, regularly interspersed with panoramic acoustic sequences. <strong>Liljevars Brann </strong>excels at folk music; the guitars have a satisfying pluck and pace that happily reminds me of <strong>Uaral</strong>. The vocals, by frontman Sjelvindur, are one of the most compelling parts of <em>Helja </em><em>Kor</em>. His clean vocals marry a mysterious folksiness with a warbling gothic cadence, and some of the album’s best moments come from Sjelvindur’s percussive intonation in the outro of “Helja Kor” and the somber shakiness of the beginning of “Krieglande.” Between the winning combination of black metal and folk music with the added edge of Sjelvindur’s unique vocals, the components of a great album are all here.</p><p>Unfortunately, <em>Helja Kor </em>struggles to truly find its footing due to meandering songwriting that begins to drag early on. Low intensity is one thing, but <em>Helja Kor </em>is also low energy, which makes it difficult to stay engaged. From the opener “Helja Kor” to the second-to-last “Krieglande,” every song is in the same torturously slow 3/4 time signature with minimal evolution or differentiation between songs. Even the rare black metal sections of the primarily acoustic “Sjelvind” feel melodically identical to those of the more predominantly heavy “Krieglande.” A 3/4 time signature isn’t an issue by itself, but after 40 minutes of overtly similar riffs in a stagnant tempo, it’s impossible not to crave <em>variation</em>. That comes in, blessedly, in “Brannstjeringen,” which ends the album on a miraculously high note through dynamic songwriting in a refreshing 4/4 time signature. “Brannstjeringen” builds towards an exciting, emotionally charged apotheosis that highlights how the remainder of <em>Helja Kor </em>lacks meaningful direction in its song structure, devoid of stirring peaks that move me like “Brannstjeringen” does.</p><p></p><p><em>Helja Kor </em>touts a mystical, woodsy atmosphere, and this atmosphere is strong enough to partly compensate for what the songwriting lacks. The folk guitars are effectively paired with Sjelvindur’s vocals, and they just ooze arboreal mysticism. It’s a shame that an excess of melodic/harmonic repetition and languid structure permeate <em>Helja Kor</em>, because by themselves, the guitar harmonies in “Dansa Mej Brodar I Fyre” and “Krieglande” are enjoyable. It boggles the mind, then, how much the drums clash with <em>Helja Kor</em>’s atmosphere through a distracting mix that fails to effectively integrate them. The strength of <strong>Liljevars Brann</strong>’s acoustics is frequently undone in “Helja Kor,” “Dansa Mej Brodar I Fyre,” and “Sjelvind” by the incessant <em>ting-ting-ting </em>of the cymbals. Even towards the end of “Brannstjeringen,” the drums leave a stain on the song’s highest point with loud, off-tempo blast beats. It’s clear that <strong>Liljevars Brann</strong> has put a lot of thought into the unique atmosphere they want to create, but it unravels at almost every turn through songwriting that doesn’t support it and a mix that dilutes it.</p><p><em>Helja Kor</em> is the type of record where it’s easier to appreciate what <strong>Liljevars Brann</strong> is trying to do than enjoy its execution. There are glimpses of a compelling folkloric atmosphere to be found, but <em>Helja Kor </em>flounders in excessive repetition, frequently dissatisfying structure, and irritating production choices. And yet, I abhor the thought of abandoning <strong>Liljevars Brann </strong>for good because there is a real vision here, and I want to see it realized. <em>Helja Kor </em>has enough individually solid aspects—Sjelvindur’s vocals, the <strong>Uaral</strong>-esque acoustics, the black metal harmonies, the peaks of “Brannstjeringen”—to compel me to keep my eye on <strong>Liljevars Brann </strong>in hopes that their next release finds me more lost in the woods than a mere park ranger can handle.</p><p></p> <p><strong>Rating</strong>: Disappointing<br><strong>DR</strong>: 8 | <strong>Format Reviewed</strong>: 320 kb/s CBR MP3<br><strong>Label</strong>: <a href="https://www.argonautarecords.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Argonauta Records</a><br><strong>Websites</strong>: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/liljevarsbrannofficial" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">facebook</a> | <a href="https://liljevarsbrann.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">bandcamp</a><br><strong>Releases Worldwide</strong>: September 27th, 2024</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/20/" target="_blank">#20</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2024/" target="_blank">#2024</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/argonauta-records/" target="_blank">#ArgonautaRecords</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/atmospheric-black-metal/" target="_blank">#AtmosphericBlackMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/black-folk-metal/" target="_blank">#BlackFolkMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/black-metal/" target="_blank">#BlackMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/german-metal/" target="_blank">#GermanMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/helja-kor/" target="_blank">#HeljaKor</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/liljevars-brann/" target="_blank">#LiljevarsBrann</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/october-falls/" target="_blank">#OctoberFalls</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/octopus-rising/" target="_blank">#OctopusRising</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/panopticon/" target="_blank">#Panopticon</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/sep24/" target="_blank">#Sep24</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/the-3rd-and-the-mortal/" target="_blank">#The3rdAndTheMortal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/uaral/" target="_blank">#Uaral</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/ulver/" target="_blank">#Ulver</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/ulvik/" target="_blank">#Ulvik</a></p>
