For the record - I despise the Iranian regime, which has imprisoned and tortured friends and colleagues.
But I do not want to see Tehran or anywhere else bombed by fascists, rapists, paedophiles and genocidaires seeking to launder their reputations and political positions.
War - all war - is bad.

The governing ideology of the far right in our age of escalating disasters has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism.

It is terrifying in its wickedness, yes. But it also opens up powerful possibilities for resistance. To bet against the future on this scale - to bank on your bunker - is to betray, on the most basic level, our duties to one another, to the children we love, and to every other life form with whom we share a planetary home.

Shocked face emoji!

That the ritual has been misused to such a degree which uncovers the *checks notes* slide into authoritarianism and nazism not seen since the 1930s?
