Remember Afghanistan.. Which Trump sold down the river in exactly the same way he is about to sell Ukraine. By excluding the Afghan government from the talks he sowed the chaos which Biden was blamed for. Delivering millions into barbarism. He doesn’t care. Psychopaths never do.

Ah, here’s Trump’s peace plan for Ukraine – or rather, a plan to leave it in pieces

Unless there is total Arab solidarity, Trump will sanction his way to Gazan genocide.

Corporate Global tyranny was best explained by Orwell (who else?)
‘Why does the lust for naked power become a major human motive exactly now, when the dominion of man over man is ceasing to be necessary? As for the claim that ‘human nature’, or ‘inexorable laws’ of this and that, make Socialism impossible, it is simply a projection of the past into the future. In effect, Burnham argues that because a society of free and equal human beings has never existed, it never can exist. By the same argument one could have demonstrated the impossibility of aeroplanes in 1900, or of motor cars in 1850.
The notion that the machine has altered human relationships, and that in consequence Machiavelli is out of date, is a very obvious one.’

Be fair, it’s largely the fault of the language. ‘Left’ – ‘Right’ both meaningless and designed to confuse. The correct term for Putinism is ‘Neo-Bolshevism’. A regional variant of ‘Oligarchical collectivism’. See Orwell’s 1984 for full details. Putin’s digital Russia matches.

The politicians of cooperation have much harder time because communities are far harder to create and maintain than to destroy.

Tomorrow, a Mega-Psychopath and his Trillionaire cronies may well be in control of America. And the more we know about these ghouls, the less we need to know.

A world carved up between techno-fascists like Trump, Putin and their Fossil-Fuel Axis, is the nightmare of every generation since 1945. A multiple disaster, but especially to any hopes of curbing global warming.
Whatever result we wake up to, Humanism and democracy remain in crisis. The backlash to a Harris win will be horrific. As will the barbaric mindless malice of a Trump regime.
Those offering glib reassurances should consider that the clumsy dictatorships of the C20th did not have our modern means to kill Freedom permanently, and ensure perpetual war. If Hate and Lies defeat Human values, everything worth caring about will be in danger. And self-isolated little Britain will be more vulnerable than most to the after-shocks.

Fascist anger is not righteous, by definition. It is toxic and iniquitous.
Unless you agree with racism and misanthropy in general.
Anger against the denial or withdrawal of basic inclusive human rights and freedoms is both righteous and justifiable. And vital, as history has shown.
Fascist anger is always in opposition to basic human values. The kind you currently enjoy.

Crowds are defined by their Cause.
Fascist crowds are unpleasant and hateful because racism and misogyny are inherently hateful.
Protests which demand justice and peace are righteous because the denial of justice and peace is a crime. Righteous anger is not hate, it is the engine of progress.
People don’t protest with any real expectation of success, but to feel again the natural human fellowship. A right which is denied them by the demands of career and consumption.
In this way, every mass protest is a radical challenge to the alienating status quo, whatever the cause. And worth documenting for 40 years.

Are ‘Live Logs’ like this a sign of News overload? Of the lack of journalistic muscle-power to process each new unit of history as it emerges? Is there simply too much history to handle? None of it is going away. And we are creating and acquiring it at an exponential rate. Fairly soon there will be hardly anything else but History.
Autocrats exploit this confusing glut by reducing everything to the lowest common denominator. Infantile information dealing in the infant preoccupations of fear and hunger. The ideal propaganda formula which ‘reduces the intellectual content as much as possible in order to appeal to the lowest level of intelligence.’ (A***f H****r.)
When there is too much information, some psychopath will always claim to know the secret code to understanding it. Usually it means identifying scapegoats to be persecuted and glorifying god-figures to be worshipped.

Everything he does is designed to lose Biden the election, eradicate international law, and even fatally undermine the United Nations itself.
All of which means that any concerted effort to constrain global warming is a pipedream.

When nostalgia turns into mythology it is only a short step to the toxic chauvinism of nationalism and the negation of life.

‘A radical politics rooted in nature’ would be honest about the price of sustainability, something non-radical, irrational politics never can be, chained as it is to the toxic throw-away profit cycle. Not only can capitalism not be trusted with ‘solving’ the climate-crisis, its basic formula of Money = Power makes a nonsense of democracy wherever its tentacles reach. The Class Structure itself is obsolete confronted with the body of Climate Science. By definition, ‘radical’ politics literally tackle the ‘root’ cause of problems. As in ‘Cause and Effect’, the basic tenet of Rationalism. This is the essence of the word, in spite of all pernicious attempts to conflate ‘radical’ with ‘terrorist’, as in the use of ‘radicalisation’ to refer to those in fact ‘fanaticised’ by real traumas. Killing perfect strangers without agency is not the rational act of a radical, but the fanatical act of a psychopath, one of the many bred and nurtured by our dog-eat-dog economy.

Councils now sell off more houses than they build. Thatcher’s legacy, right to buy, is a failure
26 Mar 2024 11:24
On the contrary, the Right to Buy has been a raging success.
It has impoverished and crippled rebellious democratically-elected local authorities.
It has radically undermined inconvenient social cohesion and interaction by creating a conflict of interest between Tenants and Leaseholders in the same community. Vital repair contracts incur punitive, unexpected service charges. The result being an exodus of long-standing, valued members of the community. Generally being replaced by irregular temporary sub-lets.
The RTB has brainwashed decent people into becoming avaricious opportunists via the myth that a home is worth more than the price of another home. And by concealing the reality that most ‘owners’ are merely managers who pay for the privilege – that there is no ‘property ladder’, just a property prison.
It has made billionaires out of millionaires, and paralysed political awareness.

As an elected officer of a front-line social-housing tenants and residents group for over 40 years, my only conclusion is that the Right To Buy legislation might have been designed to destroy any chance of community interaction, and to cripple local authorities with endless futile repair costs. The conflict of interests in social housing communities between tenants and leaseholders is almost irreconcilable.
It is no great coincidence that lives are lost due to the choices of the cheapest (but not safest) material options by Management Organisations understandably distracted by the prospect of unaffordable service charges for essential work.

In spite of government blocking, the House officially passed a Labour motion calling for a Ceasefire. What else did Labour do wrong? Except look like a party in office. Willing to make compromises.

Barry John, rugby legend and ‘the King’ of Welsh fly-halves, dies aged 79
6 Feb 2024 20:19
In response to TheKThree
It’s as well to remember that the generation we revere was fed and nurtured by the post-war welfare state, unlike their parents and grandparents. Especially in the working class rugby environment of the young Barry John and the rest.
This new breed of fitter faster player was in perfect harmony with the size of the pitch, possibly for the only time in history. Players were the Goldilocks size, speed and agility. They still mostly looked like humans. Even some of the forwards. Scrums took roughly 20 seconds. And anyone in the crowd could identify with at least one player on the pitch because of the human scale of the game. Which totally altered the motivation of the players – which in turn influenced the nature of the drama.
Experts like to sneer by statistics, but they are comparing a burger with a rose. Rugby was more free, like many aspects of society during the same social contract.
