A subset of the population wants to be ruled by strongmen, authoritarians who can punish perceived opponents, and illiberal autocrats contemptuous of the enlightenment project. It is evident in how many look to the mafia and its cinematic iterations as heroes. Trump is the destroyer; his MAGAts are the drug fuelled berserkers setting civilization aflame.

The New York Times · Opinion | M. Gessen: ‘Trump Is Building a Mafia State’By M. Gessen

Seriously WTF is wrong with Americans?

Home of the brave my ass.

I remember when I was living in US I was shocked how scared everyone was after 9/11 not from the terrorists, but from the government.

US have built an amazingly strong Police state that is now controlled by a fascist with the help of a bunch of coward democrats and majority of the passive and terrified public.

The few who dare standing up to the fascists are marginalized, silenced and captured.

Germany and UK are next, followed by Sweden, Denmark and other European countries.

Can we stop them? Or we are facing a new decade of horrors like the past century?

Baiting Democrats into a defence of fancy colleges would further pigeonhole them as the party of the wealthy and credentialed. The failure of university presidents to speak up for one another—with such honourable exceptions as Mr Eisgruber—is making each more vulnerable.

Population control entails keeping people ignorant, uneducated, and without the networks to challenge state and corporate interests.

"The Supreme Court on Friday let the Trump administration temporarily suspend $65 million in teacher-training grants that the government contends would promote diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, an early victory for the administration in front of the justices."

The Supreme Court’s 5-to-4 ruling, with Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. joining the liberal justices in dissent, amounted to an early victory for the Trump administration before the court.

Is Claudia Sheinbaum the leader of the free world?

"Around the globe, liberal humanism is faltering while the forces of reactionary cruelty are on the march. So Sheinbaum, who has adopted López Obrador’s slogan “For the good of all, first the poor,” can seem like a shining exception to the reigning spirit of autocratic machismo."

Mijn speech voor Davos en de Verenigde Naties Achter de schijn van tarieven, tweets en nationale belangen schuilt een dieper verhaal:
Een wereldorde die winst boven mensen plaatste.
Waar Big Tech, Big Pharma en Big Agri de pen vasthielden bij het opstellen van internationale verdragen.
En waar sociale ongelijkheid en klimaatchaos geen bijwerkingen zijn, maar directe gevolgen.
