I was taken by a comment on an article (excellent) by Stuart Lee. It reflects on exactly what Trump and his MAGA diehards are doing in the USA and reflects change in the UK as well - especially the new ‘trustee’ ha ha at the British Museum.

Rewrite history to make your next putsch all the easier.

The Taliban are winning.

Screenshot of comment in the Gruaniad, reads 
‘When Islamic stare marched across Syria they destroyed as much of the shared history if the
Syrian people as they could. They blew Palmyra, a city thousands and thousands of years old
reduced to rubble because from that point on history would begun again and it would be their
history.
When the Taliban at the height of their charnal house government moved from killing their own
to destroying the culture of Afghanistan millenniums in the making they did so start history
again. To create a new nation but under their brutal foot. Buddhist statues built by Greek
soldiers on the silk road. Symbols not just of Afghanistan's history but our global history
destroyed so history could start again.
One of the first thing tyrant secured is culture. They set the terms of what isn't and is
acceptable expression. What is it what isn't German or Catholic or Peasant or American. They
killed the comics and the satirists. Their jokes become brutal and violent. They punch down
again and again and again. And their music becomes dark, brutal and geared for war.
Even love becomes regulated and controlled. Reproduction is now a duty because the birth rate
is falling, because immigrants are swamping us and with it the culture you already suppressed.
Deviance, straying from the path is now treason. Your love becomes a tool to be used to hurt
those you love.
That's what tyrants do…’
What I found disturbing - which I'll caveat by saying I only know what I've read in our media about Assad and I'm IN NO WAY suggesting Jolani should be an alternative (not to mention that he's funded by Israel), was that numerous pro-Palestine people on the dark side started defending the Assad government after the insurgency. As far as I can see, there are no good actors in this situation atm. But as I said, I know almost nothing.
