President for hire it seems? 🤔 Single handedly defining a whole new category of corruption takes some doing And the Trump award for first class bribery goes to... On this occasion, Saudi! Congrats for being latest in line of authoritarian regimes to appeal to Trumps BIG ego and SMALL brain!

Donald Trump has escalated the biggest assault on free speech since McCarthyism. The issue, of course, is Palestine. Right-wing claims to "free speech" are Orwellian lies. New column 👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Does this not describe whats happened in the US? 🤔 But published in 2005 This book provides accurate predictions of 2008 financial crash AND of subsequent political discourse & direction Democracy has been degraded through handing of power to corporate interest for years, Musk is the culmination
"It Becomes questionable whether democracy can be maintained, or whether vested interests will not simply 'buy' the politicians (for instance funding their electoral campaigns)"

1. I hear a lot about how the left needs to galvanise and find a way to communicate a coherent vision for society and the world, but don't see the dots joining up. There needs be a central paradigm that the left coalesce around, like the right have done with immigration, small state etc.

If every time he talks value is wiped from the markets, how long before his tech bros see this as impacting their wealth, interests and power and the oligarchy turns on Trump, I wonder? 🤔 The only real allegiance any of these crooks have is with their bank accounts $$$

We might yearn for paradise, temporal or spiritual. But to our descendents our habitable planet will look like an almost unimaginable paradise. No tech fantasy, no space station or controlled environment will ever compare. Fight for what we have. This is our heaven, and there can be no other.

If Labour approves the Rosebank oil field, it would be the final straw for many of its green-minded voters. It might appease corporate power for a moment, but in doing so it will lose far more than it gains. The government seems to be on a self-destructive streak. Now's the time to rethink.

“VAT is a regressive tax. A regressive tax is one where as a person's income increases the amount of that tax that they pay reduces in proportion to that income even if it increases in absolute amount, i.e. their percentage tax rate falls as their income goes up. “ Hope this helps!

Why economists have difficulty 'getting' Trump’s tariffs. Also, his ‘final real estate solution’ envisaging a Palestine without Palestinians – the Zionist’s wet dream. Finally, why I see DeepSeek as a blow to capitalism, not a blow to technofeudalism. www.yanisvaroufakis.eu/2025/02/06/n...

The ethnic cleansing of Palestinians shifts up a gear with Trump 2.0: Trump now promotes the 'relocation' of Palestinians from Gaza - itself a war crime - calling it temporary or long-term. For good measure he lifted the 'hold' on 2,000-pound bombs for Israel! www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/1/...
