I feel like I have to keep saying this: Yes, the cruelty IS the point. To some people, having power = doing things to other people they would rather you didn't.

Which obviously means that the worse things you can do to people & get away with, the more power you have.

Some of these ghouls may have other plans as well, mostly centered around greed - but make no mistake: For most or all of them, the cruelty is an explicit & desirable goal.

Can I just ask: Has anyone ever called a bank robbery, even a huge, violent one, a "crisis"?

The word "crisis" basically means "large accident", something for which nobody is to blame, at least directly. What we're witnessing, however, is a crime spree, prepetrated in the broadest possible daylight by readily identifiable individuals.

To that, "somebody should do something about this crisis" is a woefully insufficient response.

MastodonMatthew Sheffield (@mattsheffield@mastodon.social)Donald Trump's actions are meant to intimidate opponents into fearing that resistance is futile. But in fact, Trump is a weak person who will humiliate himself through pursuing idiotic ideas and fealty to unpopular oligarchs like Elon Musk. Vigorous opposition works, and will only drive his numbers down further: https://plus.flux.community/p/trump-and-his-allies-threaten-america

"The collapse of American influence isn't happening because the U.S. military is weaker or its economy smaller. It's happening because trust in American judgment, consistency, and commitment has plummeted. Former partners have concluded - with the speed of realpolitik pragmatism - that they cannot build their futures on the foundation of an emotionally unstable, shifting, petty, and small-minded American administration..." - @Daojoan

MastodonJA Westenberg (@Daojoan@mastodon.social)The architecture of American power, built painstakingly over seventy-five years, has been abandoned. This will be remembered as the moment when America's Pacific century came to an end. https://www.theindex.media/the-new-world-order-is-here-and-america-isnt-part-of-it/

"What's standing in the way of a Canadian industrial policy that focuses on raiding the sky-high margins of American monopolists with third-party add-ons, mods and jailbreaks?

Only the IP laws that Canada has agreed to in order to get tariff-free access to American markets. You know, the access that Trump has promised to end in less than a week's time?..." - @pluralistic

This is a brilliant idea. Someone call Trudeau.

Esequibo er et landområde, som ligger mellem Guyana og Venezuela. De to lande er uenige om suveræniteten over området. Det er et gammelt spørgsmål, som nu er blevet særdeles aktuelt på grund af olie og geopolitik. Og det er USA og imperialismen, som er på spil.

Arbejderen ved Vestsahara:

Den saharawiske frihedsbevægelse Polisario fortsætter den væbnede kamp mod Marokko, der benytter israelsk spyware og lokker Vesten med handelsmuligheder for at vende det blinde øje til besættelsen af Vestsahara. Mange saharawier ser nyt håb i en ny multipolær verdensorden, der ikke bliver domineret af USA og Vesten.
