I'm not Aaron Bushnell, but I did self-immolate my academic career by writing a dissertation demonstrating that the USA is a covertly fascist regime bent on global empire for the benefit of propertied oligarchs.
It's the most damning, unanswerable academic critique I know of...

🇲🇽 The New York Times recently published an article in which two reporters purportedly witnessed the manufacture of "fentanyl' in Mexico.

Kurt Hackbarth says, "There is no balder example of trying to manufacture consent for intervention"

Before the Syrian civil war, Yarmouk refugee camp was home to 160,000 Palestinians; by 2018, a mere 200 had yet to flee the camp. Now, thousands of residents have begun to make their slow and painful return.

In Syria's war-torn Yarmouk, Palestinians begin path to recovery

Returnees to Syria's largest Palestinian refugee camp, brutally besieged in the civil war, face extreme poverty and political uncertainty.

"The extensive overlap between the aims of the anti-democratic elites, including business leaders and the military, and those of the Nazis, ensured that however the great the distaste of elites for the violence of the Nazis, they were willing to go along with their destruction of democracy.”

“What brought Hitler to supreme power within a few months of being appointed Reich Chancellor was a combination of murderous political violence whose ruthlessness was beyond anything imagined by the world of conventional politics in Germany, and a propaganda offensive that violated every standard of truthfulness and decency."

“Some of the themes emerging are consistent: every #wildfire is accused of not being a wildfire at all but a planned attack for some sinister end. This serves two purposes: casting doubt on #climatechange & finding a politically useful target to pin a disaster on.”

Sad #truth - as #history - like #fascism elsewhere, with #propaganda and #doublespeak the only ‘official’ “news” - repeats. Sir #TrumpVirus has learned from history, but his #cult & our #media, not so much. :-(

#democracy #fascism #inauguration
Cartoon by Chan Lowe (2016) Captioned "Inauguration Day", Sir Trump is standing at a podium, being sworn in to office, Capitol behind him, Melania next to him. As Trump extends his arm outward, fingers straight, in an exact imitation of Hitler's famous gesture, he is told, "NO... YOUR HAND GOES ON THE *BIBLE*."

With the #LosAngeles fires happening as a direct result of #Capitalism intensifying the #ClimateCrisis, the #GreenParty has made a 101 on how a #GreenNewDeal from a #Ecosocialist direction would help end this all through transforming everything to Public Ownership & Planning in all sectors!

Point taken. But have you been to the museum near the Agora in Athens? It is not far from Exarcheia 😂. Anyway, exhibits there explain what people who study evidence mean when they say “Athens is the birthplace of democracy.” Here’s a summary with photos of artifacts and explanation of the #laws pertaining to their ancient #democracy. https://medium.com/democracia-en-red/artifacts-of-democracy-how-the-government-worked-in-ancient-athens-704991b242a4

I (and others) frequently get asked why I go after Owen Jones, despite his reporting on Gaza and ostensible tubthumping for Palestinians. Well, explanation here.
Whatever criticisms he makes of Israel, he doesn't criticise the *ideology* of Zionism - quite the reverse, in fact

"Democracy"

by Leonard Cohen

(who was never citizen of a 51st state, but who may have seen some upsides)

https://youtu.be/DU-RuR-qO4Y

#canada #eh #leonardcohen #songs #USA #democracy

Lyrics via: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/leonardcohen/democracy.html
It's coming to America first, the cradle of the best and of the worst. It's here they got the range and the machinery for change and it's here they got the spiritual thirst. It's here the family's broken and it's here the lonely say that the heart has got to open in a fundamental way: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A. It's coming from the women and the men. O baby, we'll be making love again. We'll be going down so deep the river's going to weep, and the mountain's going to shout Amen! It's coming like the tidal flood beneath the lunar sway, imperial, mysterious, in amorous array: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A. Sail on, sail on ... I'm sentimental, if you know what I mean I love the country but I can't stand the scene. And I'm neither left or right I'm just staying home tonight, getting lost in that hopeless little screen. But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags that Time cannot decay, I'm junk but I'm still holding up this little wild bouquet: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
It's coming through a hole in the air, from those nights in Tiananmen Square. It's coming from the feel that this ain't exactly real, or it's real, but it ain't exactly there. From the wars against disorder, from the sirens night and day, from the fires of the homeless, from the ashes of the gay: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A. It's coming through a crack in the wall; on a visionary flood of alcohol; from the staggering account of the Sermon on the Mount which I don't pretend to understand at all. It's coming from the silence on the dock of the bay, from the brave, the bold, the battered heart of Chevrolet: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A. It's coming from the sorrow in the street, the holy places where the races meet; from the homicidal bitchin' that goes down in every kitchen to determine who will serve and who will eat. From the wells of disappointment where the women kneel to pray for the grace of God in the desert here and the desert far away: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A. Sail on, sail on O mighty Ship of State! To the Shores of Need Past the Reefs of Greed Through the Squalls of Hate Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on.

+8 years ago I wrote this post. Today, even more so, we are the #media

Citizens need to step up. Individuals connected through active and engaged social networks are the only force for positive change in our society. The networked citizen requires not just ‘digital’ skills, but empathy for others, cultivated through trusting relationships.

“Collapsing Empire: RIP 'Overt Operations'”

America’s Right-Wing Propaganda Problem Might Be Terminal | Dame Magazine

America’s descent into mass delusion isn’t happenstance. The demise of courageous journalism isn’t a happy accident. Its replacement with engagement-chasing infotainment and propaganda isn’t an error.

"As an editorial cartoonist, my job is to hold powerful people and institutions accountable. For the first time, my editor prevented me from doing that critical job. So I have decided to leave the Post. I doubt my decision will cause much of a stir and that it will be dismissed because I’m just a cartoonist. But I will not stop holding truth to power through my cartooning, because as they say, “Democracy dies in darkness”.

Ann Telnaes (Open Windows)
#democracy #journalism #Cartoon

Challenge for the weekend: find 3, no wait, 2 reasons; actually, even just one credible reason why I should not cancel my subscription to the Washington Post? Given that, at the end of the day, it's all about the bottom line, the only real power that we have as consumers is to take our business elsewhere. How many subs. can they afford to loose before they realise that not just democracy, but also profitable businesses die in darkness?

Editorial and political cartoonists are the canaries in the mine of democracies. An award-winning, experienced, respected, and ultra-talented cartoonist like Ann Telnaes is censored at the Washington Post due to political pressure. She resigned. “Democracy dies in darkness” and the WaPo just dimmed the lights down in a big way. An absolute shame.
Let's make sure the said cartoon (attached) circulates as widely as possible!
