Statecraft Is Rebranding to "Margins"

Why and What I'm Working on Right Now

Hi readers! I have some news.

You may have noticed that my content has been changing from pure explainer-style writing to analytical essays over the last year - or maybe I’m the only one who makes that distinction. In any event, I’ve wanted my newsletter content and YouTube videos to live side-by-side more than they do now (e.g., turning written work into a video or publishing additional explanations to video content in written form). So, I’ve decided to rebrand the newsletter to “Margins” - as in “notes in the margins” or “exploring the margins.” I also like more abstract things, so I could explore the odd curiosity here and there.

My writing will still feature analysis and politics, but I want to add more sociocultural, philosophical, and/or psychological commentary. Additionally, I’m changing my newsletter provider to Substack. So, moving forward, you’ll get a new welcome email and posts from a Substack domain with the sender “Arman from Margins.” 

Here’s what I have planned for the next few months:

  • “The 1971 Rabbit Hole” - An exploration of the “Bitcoin Standard” corner of the internet (look out for this tomorrow, 2/21)

  • “Success in The Manosphere” - An analysis of visions of success in the made-by-and-for-(young)-men media ecosystem

  • “[Political Debate Content Farm] Is Not Your Friend” - A media analysis of “political debate” style content farms, algorithmic distribution, and their effects on public discourse
