“tech oligarchs have just as much of a stake in the ignorance of the population as the most reactionary feudal autocrat. Dumb rage and partisan thinking keep us glued to our phones. … actively working to destroy human enlightenment and usher in a new dark age.” jmarriott.substack.com/p/the-dawn-o...

Waarom gaat Theo wapens kopen in de VS? Europa en onze democratieën liggen onder vuur van de regering Trump (cfr Vance in München) en de broligarchs (big tech). Kunnen we niet bij bevriende landen kopen?

Verdere afbraak van het breed democratisch overleg, van het controleren van de administratie, van politici die rekenschap zouden moeten afleggen. Verschuiving naar en verdere concentratie van de macht in de executieve. Hallo Trump, Flemish style.

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’”

It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

Sure, sending a war criminal to Gaza, seems like they already had their share of war criminals bullying them over the past years. Send Tony Blair to The Hague instead, there he can share a cell with Netanyahu.
