En omarbeidet og utvidet utgave av helgens rant: Vekk med falsk likevekt! Løgnenes funksjon i Magas maktutøvelse er helt avgjørende kontekst for å forstå enkelthendelsene. Det må norske medier tørre å slå fast selv, hver eneste gang, uten å gjemme seg bak forbehold og sitater fra andre parter.
(+) Norske medier undervurderer Maga-regimets løgner
Løgn er en essensiell del av den fascistiske bevegelsens maktutøvelse. Når mediene later som noe annet, gjør de oss alle ute av stand til å forstå hva som foregår.

Now that U.S. foreign policy is for sale to the highest bidder it might be time for the EU to transfer a few billions to get action on its agenda in Washington.

Den norske fredsbevegelsen, Asle Toje, Yanis Varoufakis og spalteskrivere i Klassekampen er blant de som allikevel mener at det er Ukrainas egen feil at krigen ikke stopper.

The strategic move Ukraine figured out a few months ago is that they could agree to virtually any US demand, knowing Putin will reject every single offer. That has now made it virtually impossible for Trump/Vance to convince anyone that Ukrainian intransigence is the issue here.

Now with the same productivity as the US, “core EU” also has more leisure time, higher life expectancy, less inequality

No matter how you look at it, it is a clearly superior economic performance

Hvis jeg forstår situasjonen riktig, er Arbeiderpartiet villig til å stille kabinettspørsmål for å slippe å oppfylle dette punktet i sitt eget partiprogram. Det synes jeg er rart.

While doing field work in Longyerbyen on responses to climate- and environmental change in tourism management, it soon became clear that there were several partly competing narratives about Svalbard's wilderness and how it should be used..1/

If you were a famous climber in prewar Austria, would you suck up to the praise and interest bestowed on you by Nazi propagandists? Extremely timely and interesting essay in the American climbing magazine Alpinist about climbing and politics in the Dolomites. alpinist.com/features/tri...

In this Full Value story from Alpinist 91, Christopher Elliott interrogates the history of climbing in the Brenta Dolomites, the Nazi preoccupation with mountains and the responsibility of individuals...

Huh. Gonna be an awkward day for Secretary of State-National Security Advisor-Acting Archivist Marco Rubio.

Part of a letter sent by a bunch of GOP members of Congress in favor of granting Maria Corina Machado the Nobel Peace Prize, which she won today. The last three paragraphs, before Rick Scott and Marco Rubio's signature, reads: The Maduro regime's abuses and assaults on the civil society and legitimate political activity of Venezuelan citizens have caused millions to flee to other countries, while millions more have had no choice but to remain in the prison Maduro has imposed on them. The peace of the region has been greatly disturbed by Maduro’s welcoming of some of the world’s worst actors, including terrorists and dictators who support him. It is our firm belief that María Corina Machado’s courageous and selfless leadership, and unyielding dedication to the pursuit of peace and democratic ideals, make her a most deserving candidate for this prestigious award. Her efforts not only highlight the urgent need for international solidarity in the face of aggressive and expansive authoritarianism but also serve as a reminder of the power of individual bravery in the quest for justice.

"After nearly 40 years, the Arctic Research Consortium of the United States, or ARCUS, will close September 30."

"The Arctic Research Consortium of the United States funded programs that aided Indigenous communities and tracked melting sea ice, among dozens of initiatives."

Når jeg holder foredrag om konspirasjonstenkning, pleier jeg å vise eksempler på hvordan det tar ca fem minutter fra noe skjer til transfolk får skylda. Transfolk er faktisk i ferd med å utfordre jødene som standard-syndebukkene for skrotinger.

I wonder what will pass for normal discourse in the American right / MAGA in 10 years time if they continue to radicalize in the same pace as in the last 10.

These two paragraphs, these two statements one after the other is quite something.
“Charlie Kirk being assassinated is the American Reichstag fire,” said Matt Forney, a rightwing writer and blogger. He said Democratic politicians should be arrested and the party banned. “It is time for a complete crackdown on the left.” He was not alone. Katie Miller, the influencer and wife of Trump’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, said liberals were to blame for Kirk’s killing. “You called us Hitler,” she wrote on X. “You called us Nazis. You called us Racists. You have blood on your hands.”
