Liberals in meltdown about the world they co-created.
They would be taken more seriously if they looked seriously at the main structural force shaping that world.
But it would threaten bourgeois capitalism, so instead they'll keep yelling psychotically "Liberalism is about reason! Let's lie!"

I am 100% tired of the "actually we're the bad guys, how dare you suggest otherwise" shtick. If a pleasant lie gets Americans to regret their country's sins tell the goddamn lie for half a minute

Macron has so far been funding insurgents and terrorists in West Africa, but he dreams of doing in Mali, Niger & Burkina what Trump did in Venezuela.
Anyway EU are vassalized client states, international law died in Palestine, fear of Russia is a convenient pretense. Whole liberal order is rotten.

One step too far in Trump appeasement. Problem if Bardella appears a greater defender of the international order than Macron. But he and all the Europeans are terrified of losing even partial US support in Ukraine. A mess

Animal farm fable would make more sense to younger generations with an updated plot.
Sheeps bleating "horsehoe!", "strong floor no ceiling!" give the farm keys to suited up wolves consultants, and bred to slaughter in fancier barns.
Starring Piglesias, Wolfrich Hayek and Gluton Conman.

This is about capitalism prison, undemocratic liberalism and uselessness of idealism.
But also why EU whining about its mistreatment by the US is so grating.
The EU peacocks arrogantly in the morning, whine and wail impotently in the evening, and act mendaciously at night.

Fractal of neoliberalism decay. FIFA became commercially focused in the 70-80s. Wealth accumulation is now a virtue in itself. No such a thing as society.
Self identifying center-left liberals play blind. Anyway, the game is getting better, faster.
And now they are left to play the naive virgin.

The world's wealthy liberal democracies looked the other way on FIFA's corruption for years because they didn't think corruption in sports was a big deal or worth addressing, and now find themselves looking at FIFA as a powerful, increasingly-integrated part of the far-right anti-democracy movement.

"l'Empire n'a jamais pris fin" from @blast-info.fr is easily one of the best documentary series of the century and should be part of popular education.

As Epstein case made clear, the wealth elite is a literal mafia. No chance they let go of their grip on the political economy, or Mamdani substantially improving people lives, until this mafia is destroyed.
For that the broader middle class needs to realize the impasse of bourgeois capitalism.

Apart from its usual fantasy propaganda, it's good to have the Atlantic on record stating that, (1) contrary to the genocidal West, Russia doesn't target civilians and (2) Ukraine doesn't abide by Geneva convention and uses human shields. Next time we hear Russia targets homes, we know why.

but no one did that. that's still a need unserved. and if we abdicate in 2029 (or whenever), it will continue to be.

The silver lining, among the frenzied howling of the liberal cold warriors in the West is that, with the G7 being down to ~30% of world GDP, they don't have the means to wage that war anymore.
Rest of the world has moved on, wants multipolarity and international law, not "rule based liberal order".

It's honestly insane how many people fail to understand that the new Cold War is an authoritarian internationale that freely and openly aligns itself across national borders so the retreating from the international stage is just never going to be an option
in 2029, if the US returns to sanity, we are likely to see at least one of Reform, RN, or AfP holding a parliamentary majority. these governments are less antidemocratic than Trump, but we will be returning to a crisis.

Making progress on realizing liberal capitalism is an ideological variation of authoritarian psychology
Why? Because "we're all in it together" -- or more precisely, "we all must join in and sacrifice some of our immediate individual interests in the name of long-term collective welfare" -- is diametrically opposed to hierarchy & domination, which are the fundamentals of authoritarian psychology.
