Turns out having a welfare state and a hoarding capitalist class isn’t actually sustainable

NEW: Western sanctions imposed on the global South have killed 38 million people since 1970.

"We cannot accept a world where half a million people are killed each year to prop up Western hegemony. This system must be dismantled and replaced."

US and EU sanctions have killed 38 million since 1970
Far from a peaceful tool, these measures weaponise hunger and deprivation to enforce Western dominance.

as a personal maxim being genuine is good but as political analysis we need to go beyond that. why are these crises emerging now with the specific forms they take? god has been dead for a while
the complete embrace of nihilism and the rejection of being genuine is the greatest danger to humanity right now

It would be more honest if more people would say "I am doing OK amidst the horrors being suffered by others." It's actually not true that everything is terrible for everyone right now. We're living under unequally distributed fascism.

The threat of having to submit your ID to speak online is chilling, especially as we’re watching ideological capture and capitulation play out across traditional media and institutions. And it’s particularly gutting that sex workers and digital rights activists have been sounding alarms for years

No I don't want "humane" deportations, for the same reason I don't want "friendly" cops in schools or "understanding" genital inspectors at sporting events.

The problem is the fascism, not that the fascism is rude.

the second part is worse!!!! saying “needs to be restored” IS using the passive voice to not focus on who is purposefully not allowing aid
even if you had this wildly bad faith read of the first sentence, it doesn’t even hold up when you get the second one

it was folly for “the left” to ever try to be pro censorship

people aren’t acting alarmed because capital is still operating with business as usual, still investing in fossil fuel production as global warming worsens. many find it hard to believe that what is rational for capital is not rational for people, and that we might have to make drastic changes
"Climate activists have not successfully made the case to the American people” says CNN's Harry Enten.

The news doesn't report it. Half of politicians say it's a hoax and the other half are silent. And Big Oil spent billions over 70 years lying to the public. So yeah, must be the activists fault!
Americans Are Concerned About Climate Change—but They Should Be Afraid
Americans still don’t comprehend how imminent, dangerous, and far-reaching the threat is—and journalists are partly to blame.

everything on this slide is correct though
FDA held a “hearing” on antidepressants today. Here’s one of their slides. Link to the entire meeting is below. Remember RFKJ’S MAHA report where he said antidepressants are need to go? He wasn’t kidding. Call your electeds and demand RFKJs resignation before he causes even more damage. He must go.

A hugely underdiscussed effect of the creeping fascism of ICE is that debt collectors and landlords are filing more cases against immigrants, even when they're inflated or outright falsified, because they know immigrants are too fearful of deportation to show up to court to fight them.

people get so mad when someone (correctly) implies that they’re not virtuous
From the Editorial Board:

How did most people react to this horrific, humiliating, unanticipated, life-changing sequence of events for at least three people, not to mention their colleagues and their families?

Simple schadenfreude.
