😄 You're absolutely right. Involved is the wrong word. It's all organised crime.

Organised crime is involved too as mutual benefit crossovers extend to Mob interests. We know this in the UK because, for example, refuse industry private outsourcing checks were abolished by far-right government. Recycling companies, toxic waste disposal… 0 penalties for illegal hazardous dumping.

The far-right, excessive wealth, fossils, broligarchy tech… combine to undermine: mutual benefit crossovers, well funded and organised. When it was dismissed as "only in the US" it was the UK too. Now it's many countries in Europe, Brazil… This reply connects to your other post this morning:

"I wish we had launched W years ago." Yes. The moment I saw Felon Muck walk in with a sink, I wrote in a forum that there was a huge opportunity to create a Twatter alternative. Millions there would leave. W is far superior to what I envisaged. Thank you. Now you have built it we must maximise W.

"Could legacy social media help produce both outcomes?" Yes. Part of it is now designed to do both. I have followed and supported an exceptional journalist for years. She uncovered and exposed this eight years ago and has herself suffered horrendous legal attacks. Finally proved right last month.

2/2 In two cases, women campaigners had children with men who it was revealed years later were undercover agents operating against them. I suspect the scale of this wouldn't be so great without lobbying, pressure and illegal corruption between government, authorities and the fossil fuel industry.

The US govt & authorities used 'wacko conspiracy theorist' rhetoric to deflect accusations it was targeting climate researchers & campaigners. I know this partly because the same was flatly denied in the UK, but exposed going back to the 1980s. The trauma caused to good people was extensive. 1/2

Been using Estonian-British Wise (formerly Transfer Wise) for years. Initially for near-perfect currency exchange rates, but now it offers good interest on holdings, online payments, card payments, transfers, and feels like an excellent online bank. Worth checking into, depending on payment needs.

Oh go on then. Even when one should be quietly tending to comedy book production in the background, sometimes it is also important to bring you small furry gifts.

Young otter attempts virtuoso musical masterpiece My favourite comedian and exceptional musician Bill Bailey playing his rack of car horns thingy on stage. If I recall correctly, he played Enter Sandman by Metallica, and it was supreme. 🤫 You didn't see me posting here when I should be editing

Applebaum and Snyder discuss how US oligarchic clans view sovereign states as obstacles: backing separatists in Canada, attacking courts in Brazil, boosting Europe's far right, and fighting EU tech rules. Europe must realize it is an extractive regime. The old ally is gone. youtu.be/TKwfEs71VQI
