Black scholars argued this incessantly after the war. Britain killed 10’s of millions of Indians, Belgium enslaved and genocided the Congo, France slaughtered its Algerian subjects. Nazi Germany was the logical extension of US and European colonialism, not an aberration.

one thing that judges can absolutely do in response to this is to stop giving the DOJ the presumption of good faith as a litigant. in that case you end up with a rogue federal government which fundamentally cannot charge people with crimes or sue states, but has impoundment power.

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

There are literally not enough journalists employed in the US to cover the bad shit that is happening right now. We are now going to experience the social consequences of a weakened news industry--which are the same as the benefits of a weakened news industry, to those who weakened it.

There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

Global warming is a technological advancement. Global warming is happening because technology does not naturally equal progress, ethics, or ecological balance. Stop saying they ignore the science. They are using the science. Global warming is part of what you get from science under capitalism.

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. This is what they wrote.

This thread is literally what "mutual aid" refers to. It's not charity, distroism, or passing around the same $20, what Kropotkin was describing was a hardnosed evolutionary & game theoretic dynamic by which cooperation wins out, in part by aggressively organizing sanctions of bastards.

This may be the characteristic of Eastern thought and philosophy: identifying with the problems of ordinary life, whether walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, and solving them through thinking. As an example … while staying in a hotel during a trip I made. Watching the sun rise from the

Goodnight. "The beings I love are creatures. They were born by chance. My meeting with them was also by chance. They will die. What they think, do, and say is limited and a mixture of good and evil. I have to know this with my soul and not love them the less." Simone Weil, Gravity and Grace

If one recognizes one's own intrinsic State as pure from the beginning and only temporarily obscured by impurities, and if one maintains the presence of this recognition without becoming distracted, then all the impurities dissolve. This is the essence of the Path.
