A while ago I read a Nick Land essay that I can't for the life of me find again.
I swear it was titled or had the words "Donut City" in the title. Hence why I originally read it on a whim because it had such an odd name.
The main thesis had to do with the concept of the "Bad Neighborhood" and how inner city corruption leads to a kind of social rot that pushes everything "good" to the periphery. Hence the term "Donut City" being a city where the core is unsalvageable but the suburbs are perfectly fine.
What was of interest to me was that Donut Cities create "Donut People". I.e. a person whose "good on the outside" but rotten in the core.
It was such an intriguing thesis that I wanted to read it again but for the life of me I can't find it. Am I tripping? Is anyone else familiar with Nick Land know what I'm talking about?
Maybe I mixed up Land with another author when I was reading random Ccru essays? Has anyone heard of this concept before?

The War on Fakes channel has repeatedly attempted to push conspiracies that footage from Ukraine is somehow being falsified. One post on the channel from February 24 claimed without evidence that a widely viewed photo of a Ukrainian woman injured in an airstrike in the city of Chuhuiv was doctored and that the woman was seen in a different photo days later without injuries. The post, which has over 600,000 views, also baselessly claimed that the woman's blood was actually makeup or grape juice. And while money initially moved into stocks in the morning, capital moved out of safe-haven assets. The price of the 10-year Treasury note fell Friday, sending its yield up to 2% from a March closing low of 1.73%. In 2014, Pavel Durov fled the country after allies of the Kremlin took control of the social networking site most know just as VK. Russia's intelligence agency had asked Durov to turn over the data of anti-Kremlin protesters. Durov refused to do so. The picture was mixed overseas. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index fell 1.6%, under pressure from U.S. regulatory scrutiny on New York-listed Chinese companies. Stocks were more buoyant in Europe, where Frankfurt’s DAX surged 1.4%. Either way, Durov says that he withdrew his resignation but that he was ousted from his company anyway. Subsequently, control of the company was reportedly handed to oligarchs Alisher Usmanov and Igor Sechin, both allegedly close associates of Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
