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?

Am I going crazy? 🫠🫠🫠

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. Unlike Silicon Valley giants such as Facebook and Twitter, which run very public anti-disinformation programs, Brooking said: "Telegram is famously lax or absent in its content moderation policy." Perpetrators of these scams will create a public group on Telegram to promote these investment packages that are usually accompanied by fake testimonies and sometimes advertised as being Shariah-compliant. Interested investors will be asked to directly message the representatives to begin investing in the various investment packages offered. Messages are not fully encrypted by default. That means the company could, in theory, access the content of the messages, or be forced to hand over the data at the request of a government. This provided opportunity to their linked entities to offload their shares at higher prices and make significant profits at the cost of unsuspecting retail investors.
