Decline & Fall

"The British Empire, in steep decline on the eve of WW1, is a cautionary tale for a decayed US Empire a century later."

H.G. Wells "excoriated the British political elite for its ignorance & ineptitude. They had vulgarized democracy with their racism, hypernationalism & simplistic cliché-ridden public discourse..."

"When a crisis came, these mandarins, like our own, would set the funeral pyre of empire alight."

34 years ago today, the #SovietUnion officially ceased to exist. December 26, 1991

Apologies to #tankies (not really) but it was a very good thing

Not liking the #Soviet Union has nothing to do with loving #capitalism or loving the #West, it's about despising #imperialism

Anyone who has a problem with my sentiment:

Talk to someone who lived in #EasternEurope or under the Soviet umbrella

We must defeat #plutocracy in the West

The Soviet way is not the way

Happy #SovietUnionCollapseDay

Dear US friends

Gratefully,

The Rest of the World.

Now #TheAmericanFascist has appointed an 'envoy' to help convince Greenlanders to ditch Denmark and join the USA. Denmark is shocked and angered, as they should be. Greenlanders are wholly opposed.

There is poetic irony of a Louisiana politician being tapped to lead a "Greenland Purchase" by America. I very much doubt the result will be the same. But there are some interesting parallels.

Lousisiana Purchase (1808)
a) Made possible by squabbles and warring in Europe.
b) involved purchase of 2.14 million km2 of North America for $380 Million in 2024 dollars. Greenland is 2.17 million km2.

It's difficult to fathom just how undervalued the Louisana Purchase was...nevermind the whole — selling Indigenous Lands without Treaty — issue. But hey... that would be another parallel with today's Inuit and Greenland Peoples.

Back in the modern context, America's Fascists just want to do Fascist things like take over sovereign countries and oppress nations, not unlike Hitler, the Kaiser's Germany, the Napoleans, Imperial Britain, Conquistador-ist Spain, and Tsarist-Stalinist-Putinist Russia.

This all needs to be kept -- forefully if need be -- in the past. We cannot allow these regressive dictators to come back.

He must be stopped.

United States of America!
Americans!

Stop prancing around with Christmas presents as if nothing is happening and DEPOSE YOUR PRESIDENT ffs! This is ON YOU first and foremost!!

"In Stuttgart, Maccabi supporters chant 'Let the IDF fuck the Arabs,' 'Death to the Arabs,' and "Fuck you Palestine." The @VfB speaks of a 'successful soccer evening.' Open calls for genocide in German stadiums; politicians, media, and sports remain silent. Shameful."

Opinion: Richard Falk says the current international system "was never designed to restrain the geopolitical ambitions of powerful states."

To understand why the UN hasn't stopped genocides, check out how the this post–WW2 order "has long enabled impunity rather than accountability."

"As a rogue, blood- and oil-thirsty US empire pushes for military intervention in Venezuela, what does it mean to stand in solidarity with the Venezuelan people without excusing the crimes of Venezuela’s ruling class?"

Whoever made this decision on the German side should be fired. Now."

As the US regime prepares/initiates a war against Venezuela this is a good time to learn more about the Monroe Doctrine. Want to have a better understanding of Trump's recent war crimes and the history US foreign policy in Central and South America? This is a simple, easily understandable introduction. If you're a US citizen/immigrant you really should familiarize yourself with this.
