There are many excuses for failing to tax the ultra-wealthy. The truth is that governments don’t tackle the problem because they don’t want to, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican.
It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong.
People are awakening to this new reality — and they're speaking up.

It’s long, technical, and unusually honest about how movements win — and why most fail. Chapters included so you can dip in.

In Debatten um #Wissenschaftsfreiheit ist immer wieder fast ausschließlich von 'externen Angriffen' die Rede. Das greift zu kurz. Es geht nicht nur um das Hineinwirken von Außen, sondern auch um mögliche (z.T. vorauseilende) Anpassungsleistungen innerhalb der Institutionen & Strategien dagegen.

America is now at the heavily armed secret police doing warrantless door-to-door house raids in search of undesirable ethnicities and/or political dissenters stage. The difference from well known historical cases is down to scale.

The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway
They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming
