Today Reform UK received the largest donation from a single living person in UK history. Christopher Harbourne donated £9m; the party is promoting the cryptocurrency that made Harbourne rich, promising a "crypto revolution". Curiously, Harbourne seems to have made his donation in normal cash.

If they don't don't give a fuck about ideology it is because they share it - an ideology of heightened authoritarianism & domination. And war itself whilst almost incidentally hurting or killing people is pursued to further that ideology. Fascism is the war aim on both sides.

Is Trump's evident senility & his sociopathic narcissism really comic, when the US-centred Empire he ostensibly controls is responsible for so much suffering, for climate inaction, for genocide, for torture?

As in the UK, the US has been a racist country because it has been an imperialist country - because of the necessity to enslave, to appropriate, & militarily dominate other territories so that its wealth-owning class can accumulate more.

On manque de mots pour dire l’abjection incommensurable de ce monde qui accepte et encourage l’extermination des Palestinien•nes, qui arme et protège leurs bourreaux, qui traque celles et ceux qui dénoncent cette abomination.
