BREAKING: my ongoing campaign to inject the 2014 Swedish film Force Majeure into the discourse gets a major boost from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/donald-tru...

Quote from Kristol substack:
Yesterday I remarked that “seeing support for President Trump collapse among the public—with very little help from our pitifully complacent and fearful elites—is heartening. Even inspiring.”

I didn’t go into any detail to justify my swipe at our elites. I don’t really think much justification is needed. But I thought I might mention here one of the most helpful characterizations I’ve heard of their behavior. It came from Leah Greenberg, co-founder of the grassroots activist organization Indivisible and a key organizer of the No Kings demonstrations, in a conversation we had under the auspices of the New Haven Democracy Project.

I was lamenting the performance of our elites, and asked Leah what she thought of them. Her reply:

So there’s a 2014 Swedish dark comedy called Force Majeure in which a family goes to a ski lodge. It’s a husband and a wife and their two small children, and there is an optical illusion of a controlled avalanche that makes them think that an avalanche is coming at the ski lodge. And the husband just books it. He grabs his phone and he runs and he leaves the wife and their two small children. You know, the wife is desperately trying to shield the children from what they think is an oncoming avalanche. And it turns out it was an optical illusion. Everyone’s safe. It’s fine.

But now they have to live with what that moment has revealed about the fact that the husband will flee and save himself at the drop of a hat. That is kind of how I feel about elites in American society right now. That’s the best metaphor that I’ve been able to come up with for what we have experienced over the last year and a half, which is to say that I think we’ve got a lot of really revealing data about when the chips are down, what people will do, how much they will fold . . . to save themselves, how much they will risk to push back. And, you know, it’s a lot faster to make a list of the people who did push back in early 2025 than the peop…

Trump, Witkoff, Kushner, musk, are doing everything to help terrorist Russia murder Ukrainians. Siding with terrorists, restricting Starlink on top of funding genocide. This is beyond outrageous

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Ukraine is completely magical. Sviatohirsk looks like something out of Lord of the rings. It’s a thousand years old and pre-dates Russia. Catherine the II tried to shut it down because russia has always been at war with Christianity.

Det här beror enbart på att vi har någon konstig idé i Sverige om att staten ska behöva betala hyra till sig själv av någon anledning och därmed... vräka sig själv? Det är en sån stört nyliberal ordning. Rent teoretiskt hade man bara inte behövt ta hyra alls, men men www.svt.se/kultur/varld...
