I was there when MUNL's faculty went on strike in Canada & joined the picket line in solidarity. They were treated like important community workers. Cars blared out support. The media covered it positively. They won. The contrast in how uni staff are treated in the UK is nothing short of shocking.

Christian nationalism is manoeuvring in the UK. The deployment of 'Christian country' rhetoric is a tool for populist polarisation. Teaching 'Judeo-Christian' values to children should not be conflated with teaching morality itself. The latter predates the former. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I'll say it again purging the highest ranks of the military and replacing them with retired loyalists is what you do directly before you deeploy the military against the domestic population and our allies abroad.

Watching people who used to bleat about accusations of racism choose between being blatantly racist or clutching their pearls at all the blatant racism they enabled is not as much fun as you might think. (See also Donald Trump & fascism.)

If you're wondering why Trump is trashing President Zelensky, remember that back in the run-up to the 2016 US election, when Trump's people tried to get Zelensky to tell lies about Biden's son, Zelensky refused. This is Trump's payback.

The 'Kremlin Papers' (The Guardian, 15/7/2021) seem to be vindicated. "...apparent confirmation the Kremlin possesses kompromat, or potentially compromising material, on the future president, collected – the document says – from Trump’s earlier “non-official visits to Russian Federation territory.”

Next, they'll claim that all of this (Trump's "LONG LIVE THE KING!" post and its echoing) is a joke, a transparent trick they use repeatedly. As w/ Musk’s Nazi salute, they'll pretend for out-group audiences to be kidding or misunderstood, while the in-group recognizes that they are deadly serious.
