The
@LemkinInstitute
is calling on every leader in the world to step in immediately with measures that ensure food and water gets into Gaza right now.
No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits.
GET FOOD AND WATER INTO GAZA NOW.
IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT.
Wow—the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named after Raphael Lemkin, a Holocaust survivor who coined the term genocide) says plainly:
"No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits…IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT."
"HISTORY WILL DETERMINE THE RECTITUDE OF YOUR ACTIONS."

Just a reminder that nothing is easier than condemning events (long) after the fact. With nothing at stake, moral concern comes cheap. We can expect people in high places claiming in the future to have done 'all that was possible, given the circumstances'.

Ja, precies. Al vind ik het moeilijk om het serieus te nemen. Boudry is een 'Verlichtingsfundamentalist'. Een karikatuur van het vooruitgangsgeloof van de Verlichting is vooral een stok om linkse 'doemdenkers' en de 'irrationele' Islam mee te slaan. Verder interesseert de Verlichting hem niet zo.

It’s hard to believe that Gramsci and Mussolini not only confronted each other in the Italian parliament, but debated the class basis of fascism. It feels over the top, melodramatic, like something that would happen in a costume drama about the rise of fascism, not in real life.

Neben einem Porträt von Karl Marx ist der Titel des Buches abgebildet: »Marx als Demokrat oder: Das Ende der Politik«“ von Alex Demirović
Karl Marx erkannte ihre Ambivalenzen wie kaum ein anderer: Die Demokratie ist Mittel der Befreiung + zugleich Herrschaftsinstrument der Bourgeoisie. »Marx als Demokrat oder: Das Ende der Politik« leuchtet die Wandlungen in Marx’ Demokratieverständnis aus. Erscheint Ende Juli: dietzberlin.de/bald-...

Kabels, kopjes, stoelen en dé tafel: alles van de NAVO-top moet weg
De NAVO-top is Den Haag is afgelopen, maar de opruimoperatie duurt nog weken.
Op de NAVO-top: 'De kopjes waren gewoon de afwasbare kopjes van het ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken.' En: tuurlijk VS we geven graag 16 tot 19 miljard extra aan defensie uit. Nederland in een notendop.

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

Das Cover des Buches "Die Exponentialgesellschaft. Vom Ende des Wachstums zur Stabilisierung der Welt" von Emanuel Deutschmann, erschienen im Suhrkamp Verlag. Das Wort "EXPONENTIAL" formt dabei eine steil nach oben ragende Exponentialkurve.
Eine Grafik, die 12 exponentielle Wachstumstrends mit steil nach oben ragenden Kurven zeigt: Weltbevölkerung, Primärenergieverbrauch, globale Wirtschaftskraft, Geldmenge Deutschlands, anthropogene Masse, Plastikproduktion, CO2, Meeresspiegelanstieg, Covid-19, Mikroporzessorleistung, akadeimsche Aufsätze, international Reisende
Ein 🧵 zu den Hauptthesen meines Buches »Die Exponentialgesellschaft« (shrk.vg/Exponential-B ):
1. In mehreren Gesellschaftsbereichen (Wirtschaft, Ökologie, pandemische Krise, Mobilität, Technologie, Demografie, Ungleichheit) haben sich in den letzten Jahr(zehnte)n exponentielle Trends zugespitzt.

Alasdair MacIntyre obituary
Provocative philosopher who argued that current morality has been cut off from its roots ‘largely thanks to the Enlightenment’
"He was in frequent debate with the Marxist historian EP Thompson, who used to stick notes on the windscreen of MacIntyre’s car urging him to publish his thoughts on socialist consciousness."

Mijn gok zou zijn dat ze haar houden. Vanaf het vertrek van Rutte willen ze ook extra scoren op migratie, en Yesilgöz heeft daar het profiel voor.

Yesilgöz zegt verbijsterd te zijn. Dit was altijd al het plan: nu het kabinet valt, distantieert de VVD zich van Wilders. Het kan zich weer voordoen als de capabele bestuurspartij die een gematigd en 'redelijk' rechts geluid vertegenwoordigt.

Leef je ook eens in Wilders in: dan wil je eindelijk regeren en dan wordt je tegengewerkt door de grootste regeringspartij en de minister van Asiel en Migratie.

America’s Braudelian Autumn | Benjamin Braun & Cédric Durand
Factions of capital in the second Trump administration
We wrote about the US ruling class taking the reins to manage its own decline. What do the Trumpist factions of capital want? Can that be squared with the interests of the MAGA base? Capable state managers could potentially thread the needle, but that's all gone. With @cedricdurand.bsky.social.
