Noam Chomsky in 2012: "The Israeli decision to rain death and destruction on Gaza, to use lethal weapons of the modern battlefield on a largely defenseless civilian population, is the final phase in a decades-long campaign to ethnically-cleanse Palestinians."

Trump is a narcissist and doesn't know what a tarrif or trade deficit is. "In every interaction, no matter how trivial or insignificant, someone has to win and someone has to lose. And Trump, as we all know, is a winner." He thinks that deficits are a loss and tarrifs are fees paid to the U.S.

David Graeber: "To save the world, we're going to have to stop working" He proposes 3 things, "for starters": 1. Eliminate pointless jobs (work) 2. Stop building for the sake of building (construction) 3. Force companies to make products that last (planned obsolescence)

And they're not done yet. Billionaires want still more wealth. They want EVERYTHING! "Billionaires now hold more wealth than 99% of ALL countries. That means, ⁠⁠according to Oxfam figures, just 3,000 people (the 0.000036%) have more wealth than 99% of the planet – around eight billion people⁠⁠."

This cartoon was from 2020! A lot of people voted for more of this. But we shouldn't blame them. The class war is real. We should unite against the billionaire class.

The poem "Let America Be America Again", which ends with "And make America again!" is even more urgent now than in 1935. "Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed– Let it be that great strong land of love Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme That any man be crushed by one above."

A UBI may have just become the quickest and most effective tool to fight fascism and avoid another world war. "if we want to avoid the catastrophic outcome of globalization’s first collapse [WW I], [...] we need to address one of the fundamental byproducts of globalization, which is inequality"

We need a better definition of "work". Doing someone else's work by renting out your labor is "employment". Achieving your own life goals by creative means is "work". Yet people are coerced into employment by an outdated value system. An UBI would break this self made prison.

The much in the media debated "unserious" nature of the leaked Signal chat with detailed "war plans" is in stark contrast with the serious nature of its resulting war crime. Imagine if the US were similarly attacked. The US certainly causes enough commercial disruption. Might does not make right!

As a human species we need to learn to be active in other ways than merely economic productivity. A UBI can help achieve that. "The damage at 3C will be so great that governments will be unable to provide financial bailouts and it will be impossible to adapt to many climate impacts"

So at least 59% of the population should welcome a form of universal basic income so they can meaningfully participate in society instead of living paycheck to paycheck. It's become more urgent than ever! "America Has Never Been Wealthier. Here’s Why It Doesn’t Feel That Way." —Talmon Joseph Smith

In my book The Undertow: Scenes from a Slow Civil War, I write about Trump’s method of joking/not-joking as a means of trolling media committed to norms & introducing new fascist plans—including a “permanent presidency,” which he rolls out here, as today… way back in 2020.

We now witness in the US the beginning of Gestapo style public abductions in broad daylight, as part of what Ernst Fraenkel described in his 1940 book "The Dual State" as the "prerogative state", where ordinary law doesn't apply.

Signal having end-to-end encryption is a moot point when you're on a consumer device that can monitor your keystrokes before sending and actually harvests your personal data as a business model. High profile phones could even be infected with Israeli spyware Pegasus. Hegseth's position is untenable.
