Reports that Trump wants to talk to Iran. Iran is winning. It can't inflict the scale of damage as the enemy but it can diffuse its damage across the imperialist assets and capitalist interests which comprise the weak underbelly of non-revolutionary, bourgeois societies

Iran has already achieved more than many thought possible and we're not even 36 hours in

We need to see massive destruction in Israel and complicit Gulf states and thankfully that's happening. Fr the sake of global order, wars of aggression can't go unpunished. Iran is standing up for international law

Netanyahu is sheltering in Germany. As a signatory to the Rome Statue the country has a legal obligation to arrest him. It is the law of the land. They won't. Germany was never deNazified

Mark Carney wholeheartedly supporting Trump's imperialist war crimes less than two months after being lauded as the leader of a new world order that would defy Trump's lawlessness. Fucking liberals man

Watch the video. He got a standing ovation on the Iran bit and Warren was one of the first in her feet. You have to understand empire and imperialism to understand why this is

When Trump gave his state of the union and said unless Iran submits to the demands of empire he's going to attack, Elizabeth Warren was one of the first on her feet applauding him. Remember this when Trump and the Zionist lobby launch their illegal war this weekend

Starmer will resign after the local elections in May when Labour get wiped out and he will be remembered as the worst Labour prime minister in British history, a man who squandered a historic victory and and became an accessory to genocide and war crimes

Gay Nazis (Or Why Liberal Identity Politics Must Die) This week The Netherlands elected its first gay prime minister, and the youngest in its history.

The Netherlands just elected a gay prime minister, the youngest in its history. The media centred it. People swooned. But his politics are nasty and regressive and reminds us that liberal identity politics must die open.substack.com/pub/donotpan...

"We can’t go on watching our leaders threaten to do mass murder, or actually do mass murder, every few years to get what they want.
If this war happens, if we do feel it in our daily lives, it would be the costs of imperialism coming home. Costs which one could easily argue would be well-deserved."

The Week That Will Decide Years Lenin’s refrain that β€œthere are decades when nothing happens, and weeks when decades happen” is overused because it’s true.

Most people don't understand what's coming. If the US attacks Iran it will be a global catastrophe open.substack.com/pub/donotpan...

"Should Israel be expected to even pay one penny to rebuild Gaza?"

The US ambassador to Israel: "Absolutely not, & if anything, there ought to be reparations for Israel"

Making Palestinians pay for the American & Israeli bombs & bullets that murdered their children.

One hardly precludes the other and if you read the post it says personal and work. Meat eating thoughts?

Doesn't your spouse have any integrity? They could walk away. And interested in the meat eating and car ownership thoughts

Unless forced to? So does that mean if you are gainfully employed you get a pass for usage but if you are freelancing you don't? Do you take the same hard line on say meat eating given the ecological costs? Or driving?

Fair. By engagement I mean how to engage in a world of mass AI adoption when just hating everyone who uses it isn't really going to do it when most of your friends and family use it

I'm not saying it isn't. But people legitimately find it useful and fun. I dislike it a lot for a lot of reasons which I've written two article about. I just called out a substack writing for obviously using it. But denial isn't strategy or analysis!

YES! I'm acknowledging a thing is happening and saying we need to engage with the why and analyse it rather than pretend it's a nothingburger or a scam for idiots

Observing a reality and analysing it and thinking about how to change it is what I do. High horseism is pretending a thing doesn't matter because you don't engage with it
